XP
About
XP is a complete solution for unlocking the potential of spatial audio design and performance in Ableton Live.
It combines a package of Max for Live devices with a standalone application, offering all the tools you need for spatial audio production.
Throughout the development process, a key consideration was to preserve the unique workflow characteristics that define Ableton Live. This delicate balance between artistic creativity and live spontaneity was carefully maintained, ensuring that XP integrates into the existing Ableton ecosystem.
At its core, XP uses Ircam Spat~, a powerful library of Max/MSP objects for real-time spatial audio processing. This allows users to simulate virtual acoustic spaces with unmatched precision and creativity.
Current version: XP 1.31
