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.
This enables a laptop-based musician to orchestrate and manipulate a variety of sounds and instruments in real-time, including those generated by software synthesizers, external MIDI-controlled instruments, and stored audio clips. This process is further refined through the use of Ableton Live's mixing and effects capabilities.
