The Plugin Device Lister 1.1.2, produced by Rivanni, is an Ableton Live Max4Live device that provides a comprehensive enumeration of all plugins, Max for Live devices, and native Ableton devices within a Live set. It scans and lists every tool used on each track, rack, and chain, functioning even within sub-racks, although they are not displayed hierarchically. The results generated are saveable for quick reference. The device is compatible with Live versions, 11 and 12, and probabilistically with older incarnations.
Changes made in May 2024 broadened this utility tool, introducing listing options for Max for Live and native devices, and providing information about device type, such as instrument or effect. The list generated now includes the name of the Live set and the .als file location for context and ease of interaction.
Minor issues identified include the duplication of devices found in sub-racks and improvements are being made for readability. Regardless of these minor hitches, the device holds tremendous potential for streamlining workflows within Ableton Live. It was tested successfully and rated an average of 5 stars based on three reviews. It is constantly revised and updated, making it an invaluable asset for music producers and live performers alike.
In use, the Plugin Device Lister 1.1.2 is inserted on any track within the Ableton Live set. It scans the entire set and provides a list of all the plugins, Max for Live, and native devices in use. This list can be saved externally, providing a reference for users both within and outside of Ableton Live. This function is useful for archiving or collaborating with project setups.

The ArticulatOR Lite for Ableton Live is a free Max4Live device enabling musicians to manage articulations in a convenient and adaptable manner. This Lite version serves as an advanced articulation switching tool quite similar to Cubase’s complex expression mapping capabilities, although it offers a more limited feature set compared to its professional counterpart, the ArticulatOR Pro 4.2. The Lite variant consists of up to 16 articulations and offers different control modes, namely Key, CC, and ProgramChange for MIDI control.
Designed with easy accessibility in mind, the ArticulatOR Lite supports a MIDI learning function, thereby promoting smooth workflow integration. It also features a unique ‘Hold Key’ function for continually activating certain articulation keys, thus providing improved control over virtual instruments. Despite its limited features in comparison to the Pro version, which provides up to 48 articulations, and additional capabilities such as multi-language support, preset memory, and concurrent instrument handling, the Lite version still offers impressive functionality, especially given that it’s a free variant.
As a Max4Live device, it requires Live Version 11.3.25 and Max Version 8.6.0 for optimum functioning. The ArticulatOR Lite provides a cost-effective and user-friendly platform for managing articulations within Ableton Live sessions, making it an essential asset for musicians and music producers.
