Ableton Live's Scale device restricts all MIDI notes to a defined scale - it's a great way to ensure that what you're playing is always in line with what you'd like. You can also use Scale to explore new scale sets, including ones you may not have experienced before. Tobi Hunke, the organizer behind the Ableton User Group in Göttingen, Germany, has released a free downloadable set of 40 presets for Scale. Learn more in this video:

The Chord Generators are two MIDI Effect Racks that lets you build complex chords with just turning knobs and hitting one note!
you can add up to 8 intervals with 3 different inversions which will give you up to 72 different chord options for each key!
There are two versions:
Ableton Chord Plugin
– Major Chord Generator
– Minor Chord Generator.
Each of these racks have 8 Macro controls, Each Macro will add another voice to the chord. Each voice have 3 inversions.
Tip for Using: Try to automate the Macors and place just single notes in your MIDI clips. this will potentially give you Chord Progression with a lot of inversions and voice leading which might be hard to compose without these tools if you don’t have any music theory knowledge.
