ALFIL Max (Ableton Live Fast Item Loader) is a Max for Live device crafted for speed and flow. Designed by Killihu, it opens up a floating browser from which you can instantly load effects, instruments, presets, and full project files. No need to dig through your Live browser – just point ALFIL to a folder and it’ll serve up everything inside, neatly categorized by subfolder.

ALFIL MAX KEY FEATURES

• Broad Format Compatibility: Load ADG, ADV, ALS, AMXD, AUPRESET, and VSTPRESET files.

• Smart Insert Options: Choose to insert devices to the left, right, or at the end of your effects chain.

• Floating Window: Openable via keyboard mapping, with optional auto-close for rapid workflow.

• Live Disk Scanning: Files update every time ALFIL launches – works even in old projects.

• Cross-Platform Support: Runs on Windows and Mac, with full drag-and-drop or one-click loading (drag recommended for Windows).

• Minimal Setup: Organize your effects in subfolders – ALFIL does the rest.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Drop ALFIL into a folder in your User Library.

2. Create subfolders by category – like “FX Chains” or “Bass Presets.”

3. Add your files.

4. When loaded into a project, ALFIL scans and displays your custom library.

From browsing to loading, every step is faster and smoother. Perfect for power users and minimalists alike.

REQUIREMENTS

• Ableton Live: Version 10, 11, or 12 with Max for Live

• OS: macOS or Windows, please note loading times on Windows will not be instantaneous

• Installation: Copy .amxd to User Library; Mac users may need to install additional Max externals (full guide included).
