Additional Info

The Max For Live Curated Collection is a hand-picked selection of high-quality, creatively inspiring Max For Live devices for use in Ableton Live. These aren’t tools I’ve made — they’re devices I’ve discovered while exploring the vast ecosystem of Max for Live.

With thousands of devices out there, this collection is my way of highlighting the best — tools that stand out for their sound, design and creative potential.

Disclaimers

The Max For Live Curated Collection includes links to third-party tools. While I do my best to ensure everything listed is high quality, I can’t guarantee that every device will always work as expected — and I’m not able to offer support for them. If you run into issues, please contact the original developer directly.

Affiliate Links

Some entries in the collection use affiliate links, which means I earn a small percentage if you make a purchase. I only include tools I genuinely believe in and use myself. I also regularly review and remove entries that no longer meet my standards. Affiliate sales help keep both the ELPHNT website and the Curated Collection sustainable — thank you for the support.

Selection Process

Every device in the collection is something I’ve tested and used extensively in my own music. I’m a minimalist producer with a high standard for tools — so if something makes it into my workflow, it’s because it’s truly useful, creative and well made. If you’re a developer and think your device belongs here, feel free to reach out via the Contact page — I’d love to check it out.
