Installing Devices

Device Requirements

All devices work on both Mac and PC and can be used with either Live 10+ Suite or Live 10+ Standard with the Max For Live addon.

For devices to operate as intended Max 8.2.2 must be used. You can download Max for free and point Ableton Live to the installed version by following this article from Ableton’s website:

Using a separate Max for Live installation

Installation

If purchased from Isotonik Studios

Where possible Isotonik Studios will provide the files in the form of an Ableton Live pack (.alp), based on the version that this alp file was created in and the version that you have installed you may see a notification that the pack was created in an earlier version of Live. You are welcome to ignore this notification and proceed.

You will then find the device installed into your Live browser, within its relevant classification as well as directly within the Packs section.

If purchased from robertkgm.gumroad.com

Simply download the .amxd (Max For Live device) and move it to your Max Audio Effect Preset folder within your User Library. The default location for this directory is as follows.

Windows:

\Users\Username\Documents\Ableton\User Library\Presets\Audio Effects\Max Audio Effect

Mac:

Macintosh HD/Users/Username/Music/Ableton/User Library/Presets/Audio Effects/Max Audio Effect

Placing it here will allow it to show up in Live’s Browser under Max Audio Effects. Be sure to make use of Live’s Collections for a more efficient workflow. Working with the browser (Ableton Live Manual)
