Si estás experimentando o eres dj y buscas expandir la opciones de Ableton, Estas herramientas son esenciales. Me han ayudado a conseguir un dj set mas solido y sin perder la sincronización. El otro punto a favor, es el amigable uso de la cpu y lo solido que se sienten a diferencia de otros m4live caseros.

I can't perform without Follow period. It's one of the most essential pieces of software I've ever used in conjunction with Ableton Live. I program tracks and lighting for a church in my home town where we use this every service in addition to tracks to add back the ability to go off and do our own thing and arrange on the fly.

I've been using Follow from Modular Series for over 4 years at church to run our stems several times per week. It has been rock solid and allows me to repeat/loop sections whenever I need! I also use "Clip to Scene" to help me create/organize my sets fast. This is an invaluable product! Well worth the money!

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.
