Remixlive Mac has been designed to take advantage of any MIDI pad controller, no matter the grid size. That means you can customise the grid to fit your controller of choice, as an option each time you create a new pack.

The mixer has been expanded to include Mute and Solo buttons with professional three-band EQs on each individual channel. The Mac version also comes with brand new desktop-class audio effects.

The Mac version of Remixlive has been designed not just to work with MIDI pad controllers but to work at it’s best when used with one, making it perfect for live performances too. Through MIDI learning Remixlive can map itself to any MIDI controller from any brand so you can take control over Remixlive the way you want.
