Own the Ableton Live 7 Suite? Fancy the 4 new effects, improved warping, totally revamped groove engine, enhanced MIDI editor, new instruments and huge library of sounds that the Ableton Live 8 Suite adds? Then you need the Live 8 Suite upgrade!
With the new features listed above plus a totally new synth called 'Collision', which uses physical modelling to create authentic percussive sounds like xylophones, mallets and the like, a massively overhauled version of the cult status Ableton Operator synth, with new filter types, even more modulation options and additive wavetable synthesis flung in for good measure plus a huge new library of sounds Ableton have actually managed to improve on the already damn near perfect Ableton Live 7. You'd have to be mental not to want to upgrade immediately!
Ableton Suite is a complete software studio. Suite 8 gives you all of the features in Live 8 plus sound, with a radically new Library packed with beautiful new sounds and a wealth of useful resources. Suite 8 contains 11 Ableton instruments and effects including synths, a sampler, electric and acoustic drums, mallets, numerous sampled instruments, the new, reworked Operator and amp modeling effects. Two completely new instruments, Collision and Latin Percussion, round off the set. Ableton Suite 8 is a complete package: the tools and the sounds.
