Ableton Live 12.2 is Coming on June 11

Ableton Live 12.2 will be released on June 11, 2025.

Free for all Live 12 users, the update streamlines key creative workflows with the introduction of Bounce to New Track and improvements to the search and browsing experience. It also brings Expressive Chords, the new Auto Filter, and other updated devices – along with a host of new features for Push.

Check out these tutorials from Attack Magazine and ELPHNT to see some of the possibilities that are in store.

Quickly build interesting progressions with Expressive Chords, then add filter-house-inspired phasing and formant effects to your melodic elements using the all-new Auto Filter. Auto Filter also comes to Ableton Move with the new 1.5 update.

Shape rhythmic textures to the key of your track with Spectral Resonator’s new scale awareness, then check out Roar’s new Delay routing mode, and use its MIDI input to create a bassline.

Sketch complex arrangement structures using Follow Actions, new for Push with Live 12.2 – and try ELPHNT’s tips for suspenseful transitions and smooth progressions.

There’s a lot more coming in Live 12.2 – head to the beta release notes* to see what else is new.

Take the tour to find out all about Live 12, and visit the Ableton shop to get your license now. 

Live 12.2 will come as an automatic free update for all Live 12 users. If you own a Live 12 license but have Automatic Updates turned off, you’ll be able to download 12.2 in your user account on release day. 

Please note that Spectral Resonator and Roar are only available for users of Live 12 Suite.
