Ableton Live | Max for Live | M4L | AMXD

[dayjob]

there’s now a free extension.. two actually, that have chord guidance and progression .. but only if you have the current beta version of Live.

One thing I noticed is that with Harmony beam I get a lot of spinning rainbow wheels and after a while Live really slows up.

Deleting it frees up Live.

When starting Live from scratch, especially on older Live versions pre-12, loading a Max for Live device for the first time can sometimes take a few seconds due to Max initialization in the background. There should not really be any performance degradation at runtime though, but if you notice an issue happening over time that seems unrelated to the expected additional processing load from adding instruments and effects, contact me here or via email (hello@straycurrent.co) and I will look into it.

Someone had also mentioned people noticing performance issues with the newest Live version/beta (the one that introduces Extensions) - I have not been able to test that one myself yet, but that sounds like it is an issue with Live itself.
