Product reviews
I'm so glad I found this time saving device. I wish I had it years ago. It works seamlessly with my iPad virtual MIDI controller. More AbletonDrummer devices please.
Really useful m4l device. Just scratched the surface so far, but the potential is there. Looking forward to digging deeper once the heat abates...

Important Information
V1.0.0 – Initial Release – May 2025
Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
