The Ableton Performance Pack by Iftah is a collection of four specialized Max for Live devices designed to transform the way musicians interact with Ableton Live during stage performances. Developed by Iftah (formerly of Skinnerbox), this pack draws from over 16 years of touring experience to solve specific live-set challenges that built-in Live features do not currently address.

Use Case: Ideal for solo performers (e.g., guitarists) who want to record a loop once and have it reappear automatically later in the song's structure. Key Technical Features

: The sculptor. It allows you to draw and manipulate rhythmic patterns on the fly, breaking the loop cycle with manual interference.

Prearranger: Automates the recording and looping of clips within the Arrangement View. This allows performers to play instruments "hands-free" by pre-defining when Ableton should start recording and how it should handle the resulting loops.

I’m excited to share the Iftah Performance Pack – a suite of 5 Max for Live devices that treat your arrangement like a playground.

3. Iftah Step Divider

A master clock tool. It takes your global BPM and divides it by specific ratios (1/2, 1/3, 1/8, 5/4) and outputs those clocks to different devices. This allows you to have a delay that echoes in 5/4 time while your Kick stays in 4/4, creating polyrhythms live.

Quantization: Supports quantizing loop starts to keep transitions in time during a jam.
