Nice, good tool for quick swing.
Works really nicely and is can be utilised on multiple tracks at the same time. All the devices link automatically – so you only have to change 1 to apply the swing – MIDI map it for instant set wide control.
Fantastic Tool for Adding Swing to Your Tracks!
I’ve been using the Swingmaster by LDM Design for a few weeks now, and it has completely transformed how I add swing to my Ableton Live projects. The device is incredibly easy to use—just adjust one instance, and it syncs across all tracks in your set. This feature alone saves so much time and effort.
The functionality is top-notch. It applies swing to any MIDI input, whether it’s external MIDI, sequencers, arpeggiators, or clips. The MIDI mapping feature is also a game-changer, allowing for instant set-wide control.
Overall, Swingmaster is a must-have for any musician looking to add a professional touch to their tracks. Highly recommend!
Got to love a device that does what it needs to well, and no more. This has long been a nagging issue in my Ableton workflow, and I wished there was an easy solution to mimic hardware like, say, Elektron boxes. Now, there is!

Swingmaster is a device with one task, control the swing amount in the whole Live set.
Load up an instance of the device on any midi tracks where you want swing. Dial in the desired swing amount on any of the units and it will change on every device in your set. Add a new instance and it will immediately synchronize with the other instances in the set.
Sure, we can use the groove pool for midi clips playing in Live, but now we can control the swing for any midi coming through. External midi, sequencers, arpeggiators and clips.

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.
