The new version of Sting is an expressive, improvisational acid line performance system. It is a Max for Live device that runs on Ableton Live or Push 3 Standalone.

Generate and morph

Sting can generate anything from random to acid patterns and morph between them fluidly. It features a new generation algorithm, advanced editing, expressive control, generative sequencing, and modulation capabilities, along with a set of live performance oriented features.

Push takeover

It includes a dedicated Push takeover mode that transforms Sting into a hands-on live performance system when used with Ableton Push 2, 3 and Ableton Move.

Accessible by design

All of Sting’s parameters are logically laid out and fully controllable via Tabbing, making it accessible to blind, visually impaired, and sighted users.
