New in Operator

Operator, Ableton's renowned do-it-all synthesizer, has been given a major overhaul with Live 8. We opened up the hood, took a long hard look inside and did some serious hot-rod stuff. New filter types, more modulation routing options and additive wavetable synthesis with drawable partials make Operator more powerful and flexible than ever. Watch the movie to see what's new...

Please note: These new features require Ableton Live 8 or higher.
