Sustain Notes in Ableton Live – Max for Live devices pack

This pack consists of 5 Max for Live devices which are about handling sustaining notes in Ableton Live.

With those devices you can fix the “hanging notes” issue, create “Sustain Pedal” without a sustain pedal but different MIDI controllers and you can change MIDI notes to use the “Sustain Pedal MIDI CC# 64” to change MIDI notes off for using them with notation software or other techniques in Ableton Live. (= NOT using the MIDI Continuous Control value (CC# 64) for the “Sustain Pedal” message but extend NOTE OFF messages to be triggered. This comes in handy when using techniques e.g. like the “Synced Pitch Trigger” – Max for Live device.)
