Ableton Live 13 announced with a step sequencer, new drum synth, and more

Ableton has unveiled Live 13, set for release in early 2027, featuring significant updates to its digital audio workstation (DAW). Among the new additions is a robust step sequencer, a notable enhancement as the desktop app previously lacked this functionality, despite its availability on the Push controller and through the piano roll. Other updates include a new drum synthesizer and various other improvements. These changes collectively represent the most substantial update to the DAW in recent years, enhancing its capabilities and user experience.
