SABOTAGE is a unique Max For Live device made by YRAKI that redefines the role of master tempo in music production.
While traditional sequencers are typically governed by a fixed master tempo, SABOTAGE is engineered to disrupt and transform that tempo, encouraging the exploration of less conventional methods and new forms of musical expression.
While automating master tempo in Ableton has been possible before, SABOTAGE expands this concept by providing more flexibility. It includes adjustable tempo ranges that allow for precise control over tempo shifts.
Users can choose from two sequencing modes: AUTO, which syncs with Ableton’s transport, and MIDI, which triggers tempo changes through incoming MIDI notes. Additionally, you can adjust the probability of tempo shifts and use features like deviation and interpolation for more refined and nuanced tempo changes.
One of the device’s unique features is its quantization mode. When enabled, this mode snaps tempo values to the closest musical division of the initial BPM. This ensures that tempo variations remain rhythmically coherent.
In essence, SABOTAGE transforms the BPM from a fixed parameter into a flexible, evolving element.
It’s like producing on the grid – but with a grid that’s constantly morphing.
With SABOTAGE, the BPM is no longer a constant – it’s a creative tool.

Place the devices in your Ableton Live User Library:
Default User Library locations:
Windows: \USERS\[USERNAME]\DOCUMENTS\ABLETON\USER LIBRARY
Mac: MACINTOSH HD/USERS/[USERNAME]/MUSIC/ABLETON/USER LIBRARY
Allow Live time to analyse your library after adding devices. You can still drag and drop devices from the library in the meantime.
Note:
I recommend integrating the Master and Channel devices into your default Ableton Live template. This will save you setup time, as the devices will automatically be ready when you start new projects.
Always ensure that the Master Device is present in your Live Set; otherwise, the Channel Devices will not function properly.
Avoid placing multiple Channel Devices on the same track, as this can cause issues with Undo History in Ableton.

Anatolyj Bugaichuk –
Idea is cool, and works flawless in realtime. But plugin’ parameters (tempo curve etc) just does not save in Live’ project. So, it’s may turn out to be unusable in some scenarios. That’s why two stars.
I will be glad to change rating after improvement.
