Ableton Live 12.2 now has an official launch date following its public beta testing phase, which began back in March this year.
Now, with a confirmed release date set for this June, Ableton Live 12.2 is due to bring increased creative capabilities and introduce new devices and workflows, completely free for all Live 12 users.
What are the new features of Ableton Live 12.2?
Ableton Live 12.2 brings new key features like the introduction of Bounce to New Track, plus improvements to the search and browsing experience. It also brings the launch of Expressive Chords and the new Auto Filter. There are also major new features for Push.
Expressive Chords is a new MPE-enabled Max for Live device, for all editions of Live and Push. It lets you play interesting progressions intuitively, one key or pad at a time.
With the update you’ll also be able to bounce clips or time selections on any MIDI or audio track, including all processing, to a new audio track with a few clicks. Similarly, you can also use Bounce Track in Place to convert the whole track to audio.
Auto Filter – which now comes to Move for the first time – has also been redesigned with new filter types, real-time visualisation, and a revamped modulation section.

When will Ableton Live 12.2 be released?
Ableton Live 12.2 will officially launch on 11 June. This update is free and automatic if you own a Live 12 licence, but if you have Automatic Updates turned off, you’ll need to download 12.2 in your user account on release day.
Am I eligible for the Ableton Live 12.2 update?
If you own a Live 12 licence you are automatically eligible to receive the Ableton Live 12.2 update for free.
