Turn your deck
into a live studio.

Get started
01 / Get startedElevate keeps your controller physical and gives every part of it a job in Ableton Live. Three chapters, about two minutes.
Chapter 01
One deck. More possibilities.
Nothing moves onto the screen. You still use the jog wheels, pads and faders. They just build a track now instead of mixing one.
Chapter 02
From DJ to studio.
- 01 / Input Deck The controller you already have.
- 02 / Process FX Eight macro knobs per instrument. Sixteen with SHIFT.
- 03 / Repeat Loop Record loops of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars.
- 04 / Trigger Sample Four pad modes, four sounds each. That's a full 16-pad kit.
- 05 / Output Live studio A finished track, recorded as you play it.
Chapter 03
Made to be played.

You already know
where everything is.
Elevate doesn't scramble your controller. PLAY is still under your thumb and the jog wheel still turns. What changes is what they do: the pads trigger drums, the faders set levels in Ableton, and the right deck records whatever you just played.
