Ableton announced today that the latest version of Live 11 Lite is now available.

The new version adds MPE support, new and updated devices, more sounds, a higher scene count and more.

Key new features include:

• MIDI Polyphonic Expression: MPE lets you add bends, slides and pressure for each individual note in a chord, add subtle expression variations, morph between chords and create evolving sonic textures more easily.
• Sounds and effects: Four effects – Chorus-Ensemble, Phaser-Flanger, Limiter, Saturator – bring a much wider range of sound shaping possibilities to Live Lite. The upgrades to the Live Core Library that came with Live 11 are also now available for Live Lite, new sounds, drum kits, Racks, Grooves, loops and MIDI clips.
• More functionality: You can now add up to 16 Scenes for more varied arrangements and space to experiment with ideas. And with Tempo Following, Live listens to and adjusts its tempo based on incoming audio from another musician or other gear like drum machines in real time.

Pricing and Availability

Live Lite is included in the purchase of a wide range of hardware products. Owners of any previous version of Live Lite can upgrade for free.
