Ableton Live Suite 8 and FREE Korg nanoKONTROL White

Live Suite 8 and FREE Korg nanoKONTROL White description:

Ableton Live 7 Production Software. Your companion during every stage of the musical process, from creation to production to performance. The boxed version of Ableton Live 7 includes the Essential Instrument Collection 2, a multi-gigabyte library of meticulously sampled instruments providing a choice selection of acoustic and electric pianos, guitars, bass, drums, orchestral strings, brass, woodwinds and more.

The Korg nanoKONTROL is so small you can put it on your workstation, in front of your laptop, on a recording console in Ableton Live 7.

Ableton Live Suite 8 enhances the Ableton vision of creative, real-time digital music with a wealth of new techniques, effects and most-wanted workflow improvements. Five powerful new effects, each with a strong personality and serious "classic" potential. Other enhanced features include groove power, warping engine and looper.

Ableton Live Suite 8 Main Features Include:

• Crossfades in Arrangement View: This much requested feature gives you real-time, non-destructive crossfades, neatly integrated into Live's familiar workflow.
• The enhanced MIDI editor now features step recording, an insert marker and editing improvements.
• Group tracks let you group selected tracks (e.g. a group for drum tracks or a group for all backing vocals). Each group works like a separate mix buss with its own effects and routing settings. You can also collapse grouped tracks to preserve screen real estate.
• Multi-parameter manipulation: want to lower the volume of six different tracks? No need any more to adjust six different faders; just select all six tracks and adjust one volume control.
• Magnify the user interface for optimal visibility on dark stages or hi-res screens. Zoom out for the big picture.
• Browser waveform display: Audio and MIDI browser preview now with waveform display and scrubbing for more informed browsing and file selection.
• Plug-in parameters: Improved configuration and control for plug-ins with numerous parameters.
