This gives a laptop-based performing artist the ability to sequence and trigger software synthesizers, external MIDI-controlled instruments, and internally stored sampled audio clips and loops. This can all be achieved in real-time, with the resulting audio being manipulated by Ableton Live's mixer and effect processors.
For a laptop-based performer, this feature allows for the creation and manipulation of complex sounds and instruments in real-time, using a range of tools including software synthesizers, external MIDI devices, and pre-recorded samples. The resulting audio is then shaped and refined using Ableton Live's mixing and effects capabilities.
