for the full details on these 2 new programs check out Create Digital Music.
Yes, update fever continues with new versions of Ableton and Max. I have a love/hate affair with Max, I love the stuff made with it, I hate having to try building anything wih the program. That said the new update is a major overhaul, with a lot of the improvements aimed towards thickos like myself who are always scratching the heads over Max. You can check out further details over at CDM, or via Cycling 74's website. Suffice to say, that I might convinced to bite the bullet and get properly involved with the program with this version.
Ableton, unlike Max, is something I use on a day to day basis. The update doesn't alter the program dramatically (hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!) but does offer lots of small improvements. Personally I'm most interested in the new instruments Ableton have developed in association with AAS, Tension (physical modelling ala String Studio), Electric (ditto Lounge Lizard) and Analog (Ultra-Analog) I'm most interested in Tension & Analog, as I would have little use for Electric, with my Nord Electro. Unfortunatly, the beta I tested only has Electric there - though it did sound good. I'm all for the inclusion of some of AAS' synth stuff, which I like a lot, within Ableton, hopefully that should reduce the processing power needed.
