Inside Ableton's New Probability Pack - 5 New Devices For Live 10 Suite

Ableton’s new Probability Pack offers 5 brand new Max For Live devices within Live 10 Suite that are designed for Push, although the controller is not required to take advantage of these devices.

Probability Pack is a set of five creative sequencers that allow you to add controlled randomization to your composition and performance process. Each sequencer has a unique way of adding subtle or extreme randomization to patterns for unpredictable outcomes. Use these sequencers to generate new ideas, create variations of existing patterns, set up unpredictable, ever-evolving musical textures or combine them all to create complete chaos.

The 5 new devices released with Probability Pack are listed below:

• Melodic Probability
• A monophonic step sequencer made for melodies. Set the probability of the event, pitch and octave of each step.
• Rhythmic Probability
• A polyphonic sequencer made for rhythms. Set the probability of the velocity, length, and event of each step.
• Step Divider
• A polyphonic sequencer where each step can be divided into any number of smaller subdivisions for glitchy and chaotic results.
• Dr. Chaos
• A neural network that strings together notes and generates melodies in unpredictable ways.
• Probability Arp
• An arpeggiator with a built-in chord generator. Set the probability for rate, note direction (style), length and octave.

Not only does Probability Pack introduce these new devices, but it also includes over 60 Ableton Live synth presets, Instrument Racks and settings specifically designed for the sequencers are also included in Probability Pack. You can visit the Ableton website to learn more.
