Articulate is a Max for Live device designed specifically for Ableton Live users who work with orchestral libraries. It streamlines the often time-consuming process of setting up articulation keyswitches by providing an intuitive interface directly within the device view. This allows composers to quickly access and control articulations without diverting attention from their creative workflow.

The device features articulation buttons that can be recorded into automation lanes, enabling easy editing and smooth integration with your tracks. A visual keyboard display shows keyswitches and key ranges, which not only aids in setup but also serves as an input method, making the entire process more intuitive. Additionally, Articulate includes four configurable MIDI CC dials that can be automated to manage various instrument settings, such as microphone mixes or specific library parameters.

Articulate supports up to 36 MIDI note keyswitches and 6 key ranges, offering flexible control over your instrument's playable notes. It integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live’s user interface, adapting to color schemes and UI scaling for a cohesive experience. The device maintains a modest memory footprint per instance and offers a fast setup workflow, helping musicians focus on composing. A growing library of presets further accelerates configuration and customization.
