RECOMMENDED DEVICE INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

Max Audio Effects

For Max Audio Effects such as Desolation Echo, Global Hub, Time Zone, or any of the Mod Squad audio modulators, we recommend the Max Audio Effect subfolder of the Presets folder within your User Library.

Drag our products’ Ableton Project folders containing the Max device(s) to the User Library ensures they appear in Live Browser searches. Be sure to drag the entire folder, leaving all its subfolders and other contents intact so presets load correctly.

Max MIDI Effects

For Max MIDI Effects such as Pattern Engine, Pulse Engine, Chance Engine, Subtraction Engine, Octopulse, Note Raum, or any of the Mod Squad MIDI modulators, we recommend the Max MIDI Effect subfolder of the Presets folder within your User Library.

 

Your User Library location can be customized in the File Folder tab of Live’s Preferences.

When updating to new device versions, in order to ensure your projects access the latest version of a device, we recommend replacing previous versions with the new ones in the same file location.

Alternatively, if you prefer to keep an archive of our older devices, you can simply point old projects to a new device version by replacing them manually in your Live Session.
