Groove and timing manipulation for warped audio clips in Ableton Live
FlexGrooveAudio reshapes the groove of any warped audio clip in Ableton Live — drums, loops, vocals, full mixes — by moving the clip's Warp Markers along a timing curve you draw. No manual re-warping.
Draw a continuous timing curve and the device moves Ableton's Warp Markers to match — pulling each hit earlier or later across the clip. No manual re-warping.
Live's swing only shifts every other note. FlexGrooveAudio applies swing across up to 16 steps — ternary feels, J Dilla-style multi-note swing, and patterns Live can't reach.
Adjust the main parameters from Ableton Push — shape the groove on the hardware without reaching for the mouse.
Add controlled random timing variation — dial in the amount to loosen quantized or tightly edited loops.
Link to FlexGroove so a single timing curve drives MIDI and audio tracks at the same time.
Start from built-in timing curves, or save and recall your own to reuse a groove across tracks.
A library of swing patterns ready to drop in, beyond Live's single swing control.
Any warped clip works — drums, percussion, bass, vocals, or a full mix.
Drag the curve points to shift the timing of a pattern. This is the same core principle FlexGrooveAudio applies to your warped audio clips.
The curve shifts when each note plays — push the points up or down to move events earlier or later. When all points are centered, the pattern plays on a straight grid. FlexGrooveAudio brings this exact concept to warped audio — drums, loops, vocals, even full mixes — using Ableton's Warp Markers.
Yes. FlexGrooveAudio requires Ableton Live 11.3.2 or later and Max 8.5.4 or later.
You need either Suite (which includes Max for Live) or Standard with the Max for Live add-on.
FlexGroove shifts the timing of MIDI notes; FlexGrooveAudio moves the Warp Markers of audio clips. They cover MIDI and audio respectively, and can be linked through the Leader/Follower system. See FlexGroove.
Yes. The built-in Leader/Follower system links FlexGrooveAudio to FlexGroove, so one timing curve drives MIDI and audio tracks at the same time.
Any warped audio clip in Ableton Live — WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC, or any format Ableton supports.
