Description
Start new musical ideas with a curated selection of sounds and effects. Play beats and melodic parts, sample your world, and continue your tracks in Ableton Live.
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.
Begin with a beat:
• Choose from 56 Drum Sampler kits
• Tap out a beat using the 16-pad grid
• Quantize your beat to fix loose timing
• Nudge notes to correct mistakes
• Add more layers of rhythm
• Create beat repetitions with Note Repeat
• Change parameters to shape your sound
• Experiment with effects or apply swing for variations
Start with a melody:

• Play your melody or chord progression with either the 25-pad grid or piano roll
• Set a key and scale to get instantly harmonic results
• Overdub more layers of harmony
• Change parameters to shape your sound
• Add effects to experiment with sound design
Sample your environment:
• Create your own kits by recording percussive sounds into Note’s Drum Sampler
• Record tonal sounds to create your own Melodic Sampler instruments
• Manipulate your samples by cutting, filtering or repitching them
• Shape or transform your sounds with effects
• Import your own samples or audio directly from videos
Capture improvisations:
• Play something, then tap the Capture button to keep it
• Play at a tempo that feels comfortable and Note will detect it
• Note will recognize the length of the phrase and create a loop
• Quantize it, add to it, or change the sound
• Connect MIDI hardware to play keys and change the sound of your instruments
Create variations:

Ratings and Reviews
Awesome little app
It's like having an opz or something on your phone, but it's Live?!? Kind of.
It feels really purposeful and deliberate as an app. It feels like a very functional and useful sketch pad for ideas that you can then translate/expand on in Live.
But it's also a fun little beat maker toy. A lovely way to while away some time while also feeling suitably productive.
Nice work!
It’s great for taking notes…
A great start, not sure about the difficulty to move notes in the piano / drum roll and it’d be nice to add function to change loop length. Otherwise it’s good. Solid set of sounds and fast to send out a rough draft
