Yesterday's big news that Ableton have announced Live 10 - after a four year wait from when Live 9 was released.

Live 10 represents quite a lot of under the hood work, but also features several new devices, workflow enhancements, and a re-integration of Max for Live which greatly improves load times and CPU efficiency. We spoke with product specialist Jesse Abayamo who took us through some of the features.

New devices:

• Wavetable is a new synth.With a variety of waveforms derived from analog synths and a range of other instruments and sounds, as well as modeled analog filters, and, flexible modulation.
• Echo delivers sounds from classic analog and digital textures to diffused soundscapes, wailing feedback and other experimental atmospheres.
• Drum Buss is an all-in-one drum sculpting tool for adding warmth, adjusting transient response, injecting low end and more.
• Pedal features three separate circuit-level models of overdrive, distortion and fuzz guitar pedals. Not just for guitars, it excels at warming up vocals, driving synth sounds or smashing drums
