Setting Up Max for Live

Please follow these steps to download, install and authorize Max for Live:

  1. After purchasing Max for Live, download, install and launch Live 8.1 (or newer) — this is important as Max for Live won't work with earlier versions of Live.

  2. Re-authorize Live. This will also activate Max for Live.

  3. Open Live's Device Browser and double-click on Max Instrument, Max Audio Effect or Max MIDI Effect:

    max-device-in-browser
  4. Download Max from the link shown in the device and install it.

    download-max-link
  5. Re-launch Live. (Don't launch Max. Live and Max communicate internally and you will never need to launch the Max application manually when using Max for Live.)
