Plugins for people who love to play.

We offer a small (but growing) suite of Max for Live devices designed to help you spend more time playing music and less time editing it, always keeping human expression at the forefront.

The lineup.

Three M4L devices for Ableton Live, available now. Save when you bundle.

A single hand pressing a piano key, symbolizing 'just start playing.' M4L · Available now

Just Play

No fixed tempo, no click track — just start playing. Just Play captures a new take or analyzes an existing MIDI clip, traces its natural tempo, then outputs either a warped clip on Live's grid or a tempo map that follows your performance. Use Rubato and Smooth to keep, flatten, or exaggerate the original push and pull.

A drummer at a kit, head turned into the groove, symbolizing being 'in the pocket.' M4L · Available now

The Pocket

A quantizer that respects the nuances of rhythm and groove. Correct timing while keeping the human push and pull of the original — no note-by-note nudging — or push further and shape the feel itself.

Two outlined hands — left in cyan, right in orange — symbolizing automatic hand separation. M4L · Available now

Counterpoint

Hand separation, automatic. No fussing with split points or instrument racks. Play two instrument tracks from the same keyboard with your two hands. Real-time and offline (review) modes.

The Pocket Lite — a simple, more musical step up from Live's stock quantize, free on maxforlive. Tighten your performance to the grid without losing its feel, then upgrade for swing, groove & offset whenever you want.
