EboSuite

EboSuite, from the team at EboStudio, consists of a growing set of plug-ins for video sampling, editing, mixing and visual effects that transform Ableton Live into an AudioVisual production suite. EboSuite provides an unrivalled way of integrating video into live shows and music productions. It enables musicians to produce/perform their own visual music and video clips without having to learn about complex video editing or VJ software. EboSuite is tightly integrated into Live’s interface however all video processing is done outside of Ableton Live for optimal performance and reliability.

With EboSuite you can treat video like audio in Ableton Live. The plug-ins are designed to fit seamlessly in the creative workflow of music producers and performers. Opening an EboSuite plug-in automatically opens the EboSuite application (currently Mac only). Since the application runs outside of Ableton Live, in a separate instance, Live’s performance is not affected while using EboSuite. Video clips with alpha channel and of any resolution are supported (e.g. 4K, 1080p, 720p). We achieve optimal performance by using the GPU accelerated HAP codec (support for other codecs will follow soon in a free update). EboSuite is extremely easy to install; you can start sampling and mixing within a few clicks. Read more about the plug-ins below.

NEW – eFX-ISF

eSampler

The eSampler is a fully functional video sampler. Drag audiovisual clips into the sampler and produce video beats and melodies, trigger videos live, simulate video scratching or use it in ‘video only’ mode to visualize your own sounds. Make the visual output respond to the note velocity with the audiovisual ADSR or the velocity to opacity function. Different audio pitch modes are available to put you in control of pitch quality and performance. You can use up to 127 eSamplers on one track using a Drum Rack.

eClips

Use the eClips plug-in to add video playback functionality to Ableton Live’s Session View. Drag video files into Session View clip slots and play and treat them like audio clips (edit warp markers, loop points, start/end point etc.). Control the opacity of the video manually or link it to the volume controls of Ableton Live’s audio mixer.

eTrackTransform

Use the eTrackTransform plug-in to position, scale and rotate individual video tracks to arrange them in the video output window.

eCrossfade

With the eCrossfade plug-in you can mix your video tracks in real time using different blend modes and visual effects (currently nine available). eCrossfade is controlled by Live’s crossfader.

eComper

Use the eComper plug-in to consolidate your midi clip that is controlling one or more eSamplers to a new video file without leaving Ableton Live. You can drag the newly created video clip directly from eComper’s interface to a Session View clip slot, to use it immediately in your Live project.

eSyphon

With the eSyphon plug-in you can route the output of your video tracks to other video applications like VJ-, video mapping- or visual effects software. You can add the eSyphon plug-in to the master track to output the final mix and/or on individual tracks containing eClips or eSampler plug-in(s).

eConvert

With the eConvert plug-in you can easily convert video files to the HAP codec within Ableton Live. You can drag the newly encoded video file directly from eConvert’s interface to a Session View clip slot or the eSampler for further use.

eFX

EboSuite includes 12 stackable visual effect plug-ins for realtime image manipulation and image processing. These effects are BlockBlur, BrCoSa, Chroma, Crop, Edge, Kaleido, Levels, Median, Pointilize, RGB, RotaZoom and Shine.
