Available with the release of Live 9 Suite, the Convolution Reverb is an exciting new creative device for bringing new space to your sounds. See and hear more about the Convolution Reverb in a new video, then read on for insights into convolution, including some from Ableton sound designer Christian Kleine.
Extra devices in Live 10 Suite found in Max for Live category. Live Versions: 10 Operating System: All Live 10 Suite comes with 15 instruments, 46 audio effects and 16 MIDI effects, which includes Max for Live content.In order to browse the full list of devices, make sure to look in.
You don't need to understand what's going on under the hood in order to use Live's Convolution Reverb, but it's a fascinating process to learn about. A reverb based on the mathematical process of convolution, takes an 'impulse response', or 'IR' - a sample from a real-world space - and uses this to digitally simulate the reverberation of that space. 'Only a convolution reverb can capture the ambience of a real space, or real hardware, and recreate it on a computer.' explains Ableton sound designer Christian Kleine. 'With a convolution reverb, you can easily access the reverb of many spaces, and still tweak them.'
Made in collaboration with Alex Harker at Huddersfield University, Live 9's Convolution Reverb offers zero latency for a lush, natural sound. The Convolution Reverb also includes over 200 IRs from professional acousticians, featuring spaces from around the world, vintage hardware, experimental sounds, and more. Christian Kleine personally contributed IRs from his collection of rare instruments and effects, including vintage plate echos, spring reverbs, tape delays, and more.
Live 9's Convolution Reverb includes Convolution Reverb Pro, a device which allows for extended tweaking options such as EQ, damping, modulation, and more. 'The reverse function in Convolution Reverb Pro is especially nice.' says Christian. 'You can modify an original IR to something completely new, and then resave the design as a new preset.' Convolution Reverb Pro also allows for combining two IRs - one for early reflections, and one for late - for a hybrid sound that combines elements of multiple spaces.
Live 9's Convolution Reverb also comes with the IR Measurement Tool device, which facilitates the creation of personal IRs. Use the IR Measurement Tool to get a perfect sample from your own hardware - or just drag and drop an audio file into the Convolution Reverb device. You don't even need to stick to reverberant spaces - try out a variety of sounds, and explore new spaces.
Max for Live Essentials includes 16 Instruments, 10 audio effects, and 8 MIDI effects. The Pack also features demo Live Sets that showcase the new Max for Live Synths and Drum Synths, as well as Instrument, Audio and MIDI Effect Racks. The Max for Live Essentials Pack includes:
Synthesizers
BASS: a monophonic virtual analog synthesizer that provides the entire palette of bass sounds in one device – from classically deep and clean to heavily distorted, rumbling tones.
POLI: a virtual analog synth designed to for playing classic polyphonic chords and phrases. Its vintage character comes from de-tunable oscillators, a powerful modulation section and a built-in chorus.
MULTI: a highly versatile and fun multimode synthesizer which combines six synth engines in a single device. Designed for intuitive sound creation, Multi’s parameter controls change according to the selected mode, while the ‘Random’ control lets you discover inspiring, unforeseen sounds.
Drum Synths: 13 custom-created synthesizers for drum and percussion sounds, with velocity control over just about every parameter. Try them for leads and basses too.
Audio Effects
Convolution Reverb: a sample-based reverb suite with hundreds of impulse responses from real-world spaces and world-class hardware. Featuring two devices; Convolution Reverb and Convolution Reverb Pro with added controls, plus a utility for creating your own reverb spaces.
Buffer Shuffler 2.0: an improved version of Live 8’s Buffer Shuffler, with new effects for sequencing (including stutter, gate, pitch, frequency shift, amp, and pan), plus a redesigned interface with improved layout and pattern storage. New options for “dice” modes let you precisely fine tune how sequences change over time.
Pitch Drop: recreates the sound of a vinyl record slowing down after the turntable's motor is stopped. This results in the effect of the sound being pitched down.
MIDI Effects
Arp: an advanced pattern-based MIDI Arpeggiator. It can sort, repeat and transpose incoming MIDI notes in various ways, while controlling a number of other parameters such as note length, velocity and more.
MonoSequencer: sequence a melody according to a flexible grid, with separate dedicated sequencers for note, velocity, octave, duration, and note repeats. Notes can be locked to key and scale, and each sequence comes with an intelligent randomizer. Sequences can be synched with Live, or trigger via MIDI input.
Instant Haus: a beat generator optimized for house music or broken beats and comes with a large variety of patterns for both styles.
NoteEcho: a MIDI echo with a number of unique features.
Control Devices
Highly useful tools for deep control over your Live Sets and sounds.
MAP8: a utility macro device that's particularly useful with Push and other eight-knob controllers.

LFO: a Max for Live device that uses an LFO (low frequency oscillator) to modulate a single parameter in your Live Set. There’s also A MIDI version of the LFO.
MultiMap: a control Device that allows you to map up to eight parameters anywhere in your Live set.
XYPad: lets you control two Live parameters with an XY pad.
Envelope: a Max for Live device that uses an envelope function generator to modulate a single parameter in your Live Set.
Convolution Reverb Impulses Free
Envelope Follower: a Max for Live device that tracks the changes in volume of an incoming audio signal and uses this information to modulate a mapped parameter.
