Max for Live Instrument

Play your
drum rack.
Like hardware.

Anvil wraps your Ableton Drum Rack in a hardware-style interface — velocity pads, knobs, a step sequencer and note-repeat, all mapped straight to your kit. Finger-drum it, sequence it, perform it.

Requires Ableton Live 11 / 12 Max for Live

A hardware brain
for your kit.

Anvil reads your Drum Rack and mirrors it onto a tactile, performance-first surface — so the way you play matches the way you think.

🥁

Live-Mapped Pads

Every pad mirrors a chain in your Drum Rack — names, colors, and all. Hit a pad, trigger the sound. Velocity-sensitive and ready to perform.

🎛️

Knobs & Tuning

Tune, level, and shape the selected pad on the fly. Full-level and per-pad controls put hands-on sound design right under your fingers.

🔁

Note Repeat

Roll hats and snares in perfect time. Hold a pad, pick a rate, and Anvil machine-guns it in sync with your set — classic MPC feel.

Step Sequencer

Program patterns step by step on the built-in grid. Lay down a groove without ever opening the piano roll.

Zero Setup

Drop Anvil onto a track with a Drum Rack and it just works. No mapping screens, no config — it reads your kit automatically.

🎨

Built to Feel Good

A steel-and-orange hardware aesthetic that makes you want to play. This isn't a utility — it's an instrument.

One instrument.
