Sting 2 acid line generator interface showing Type/Density knobs, step parameters, and accent/gate settings, featuring a smiley face visualization in the center display area.

This is the Max for Live version of Sting. If you work in another DAW, or don’t have Max for Live, it is also available as a VST3, AU and CLAP plug-in.

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.
