Note is a place to form ideas, experiment with sounds and find direction. Get your ideas out or play until inspiration hits using a selection of Ableton Live’s drum kits, synths and melodic instruments. Or create your own sound palette by recording the sounds around you into Note’s sampler instruments using your phone’s microphone.
Take your ideas further by sending your projects to Live without leaving the app using Ableton Cloud. Open projects from Live’s browser and keep working – you can edit all your MIDI notes, and all your samples and sounds from Note are exactly the same. Ableton Note users will receive a free license for Ableton Live Lite – simple, intuitive software used by musicians, producers and DJs around the world to write, record, and perform.

Great app, please add this in future updates 👍
Great app but many things could be inproved. For instance, you should be able to browse patches with arrows or swipes without getting a drop down menu - it destroys the workflow. Also please add more effects from the Live library, and consider people playing Note on a phone keed some proper zoom tools to make precision edits to automation and midi. Being able to zoom out / in on the mixer view would be nice to see everything playing. Good job for now, Ableton 👍
Latency
So much potential in this APP, but there is so much latency on the pads, that it is barely usable.
Note
Denne app, kan simpelthen for lidt. Er ihvertfald ikke god til sangskrivning - mangler en audiooptager - man kan lave beat, lidt bass og lidt synth, men det hele er meget begrænset og ligger ikke noget til min kreativitet og sangskrivning
