An updated Shifter device adds a new mode for real-time monophonic pitch shifting, as well as delay, an envelope section, an LFO and glide functionality. 

Two new Max for Live utilities, Align Delay and Shaper MIDI have also been added, while Align Delay allows artists to compensate for lag when sending signals throughout their system. Shaper MIDI generates modulation data that can bring more expression to MIDI performances.

Additional features include improvements to comping, updates to Clip handling, and more, while you need an Ableton Live 11 license to install the 11.1 update and have the DAW running natively on an M1 Mac.

Ableton Live 11 was already privy to a range of new features when it was released almost a year ago including the new Comping mode for both audio and MIDI data, plus support for MPE and an intuitive new Live Tempo Following tool to sync up the DAW with live audio tracks.

Other new updates included new Wavetable, Sampler and Arpeggiator tools, as well as a bunch of new Hybrid Reverbs, Spectral Resonators and Spectral Time devices. 

A new Inspired By Nature device lets you pepper your tracks with the sound of birdsong, gusts of wind and flowing water, while PitchLoop 89 lets you dial in some wonky vibrato to ‘vintage’ up your tracks.
