The , built for Max for Live , is a collection of four innovative devices designed to transform Ableton Live into a deeply interactive musical instrument. Created by Iftah—a seasoned electronic artist, performer, and Max developer—this pack (as of 2026, often found within the Live 12 ecosystem ) addresses the limitations of traditional, linear live sets by bringing spontaneous, performance-oriented control to both Session and Arrangement views.
Prearranger is a unique compositional tool that bridges the gap between spontaneous improvisation and predetermined song structure. It works by allowing you to "pre-arrange" a performance by placing empty, ghost clips on the timeline to map out the sections of your song. You then record into a single source clip, and Live automatically distributes the audio or MIDI you perform into the corresponding pre-arranged clips, creating a structured recording on the fly. This makes it possible to build an entire arrangement without ever stopping playback or manually interacting with the DAW during the performance.
