What's New in LK

1.16.2

October 15, 2026

- Added an "Auto scroll grid to selected track" setting - Tapping "+" on the project field now asks for confirmation before starting a new project, so unsaved changes are no longer lost to an accidental tap. - The custom scale layout in the clip's Scale properties is now always editable: tapping a note switches the clip to a custom scale based on the current one. - Fixed the app freezing when the connection to Ableton Live dropped and reconnected. - Fixed the piano roll not updating when the custom scale layout was edited while the Scale fold was on. - Fixed the Generate range (start note and octave range) of a clip resetting to C2–C4 when a project was reloaded.

Ableton Push can wait

It’s the first time in my life I’ve been so happy with a software that I’ve been more than happy to pay for it and I can’t wrap my head around how many features this suite has. What stroke me particularly was the possibility to draw,generate Melodies directly in the matrix section. If I knew better I would have bought the bundle instantly. 5 out of 5 because I can’t put 10.

Step Sequencer!!!!

LK now has a step sequencer and it’s a pretty awesome step sequencer. I can’t believe some of the features it has right off the get-go. Probability and ratcheting, up to 64 steps, scales…etc. I used to primarily use LK along with AUM for clip launching, but now I’m gonna be using it with my modular gear too. Thanks guys.
