Every Digidesign® Pro Tools® system — from Mbox to Pro Tools|HD® Accel — includes a host of excellent music production applications and plug-ins from top developers to get you started creating right out of the box. This set of software tools, which we call the Music Production Enhancement Suite, includes Ableton Live Digidesign Edition, Propellerhead Software Reason Adapted, and IK Multimedia’s SampleTank SE, AmpliTube LE, and T-RackS EQ.

And now, these free tools just got even better: Ableton is now replacing Ableton Live Digidesign Edition with Live Lite 4 Digidesign Edition, featuring some of the latest enhancements included in Ableton Live 4 software. Compared to the previously bundled Ableton Live Digidesign Edition, Live Lite 4 Digidesign Edition features new MIDI functionality, more precise control of volume, pitch and timing for audio, and offers a variety of audio and MIDI effects as well.

If you’ve already purchased a Digidesign Pro Tools system, and have registered the previous version of Ableton Live Digidesign Edition included with your system, Ableton will be offering a free software update to the new software version for a limited time. To update to Live Lite 4 Digidesign Edition, visit www.ableton.com/free-digidesign-update.

Ableton is offering a discounted upgrade path to the full version of Live 4 from the free version bundled with every Digidesign Pro Tools system. For more information, visit www.ableton.com/lite-version-upgrade.
