EboSuite transforms Ableton Live into an audio-visual production suite. Create, sample, record, mix, and manipulate video in the same way as you are used to with audio. EboSuite supports ISF which means 2000+ visual effects and generators are available. The plug-ins are designed to fit seamlessly in the creative workflow of music producers and performers.
Opening an EboSuite plug-in automatically opens the EboSuite application (currently Mac only). Since the application runs in a separate instance, Ableton Live’s performance is not affected while using EboSuite.
EboSuite is extremely easy to install; you can start creating, sampling, mixing, and recording your own visuals within a few clicks. Read more about the plug-ins below or watch the tutorial videos or read the extensive manual.
Installation requirements: Mac OS 10.14+, Ableton Live 10+ (64 bit), Max for Live (included in Live Suite)
Student Discount: EboSuite provides a 20% discount for students. To receive a discount code please email your request and proof of study (i.e. student card scan) to our general contact email address.
Plug-in overview
#1
eSampler
The eSampler is an advanced video sampler. Drag audio-visual clips into the sampler and produce video beats and melodies, trigger videos live, and simulate video scratching. Control the timing with real-time time-stretching.
Record video and use your recording immediately in your performance. Different audio pitch modes are available to put you in control of pitch quality and performance. Warp, Loop, OneShot, and PreRoll available. Slice samples with the build-in audio analyser. Easy file management with the File Region Editor (with build-in Hap video converter). You can use up to 127 eSamplers on one track using a Drum Rack.
#2
eISF
With the eISF plug-in you can use ‘ISF shaders’ in Ableton Live! Use ISF shaders to manipulate and generate visuals in virtually unlimited creative ways.
There are 2000+ ISF effects and generators available at www.isf.video, that you can easily download and load into the eISF plug-in. EboSuite will install 253 shaders by default, to give you a good start.
There are two ISF plug-ins: the eISF plug-in (optimised for visual generators) and the eFX-ISF plug-in (optimised for visual effects).
#3
eSession
Use the eSession plug-in to add video playback functionality to Ableton Live’s Session View. Drag video files into Session View clip slots and play and treat them like audio clips (edit warp markers, loop points, start/end point, etc.). Control the opacity of the video manually or link it to the volume controls of Ableton Live’s audio mixer.
#4
eArrangement
Use the eArrangement plug-in to use videos on audio tracks in Ableton Live’s Arrangement View and manipulate them with visual effects and mix them with other video tracks. Important note: the eArrangement plug-in only works in Live 11!
#5
eSimpler
The eSimpler plug-in turns Live’s Simpler into a video sampler. When the eSimpler is placed in front of a Simpler, the eSimpler will automatically check if a movie file is loaded in the Simpler and play this movie file simultaneously with the Simpler, including Warping, Loop, Slicing and OnShot. Record video live and record the audio straight into the Simpler and use your recordings in your performances immediately. Load a video into the eSimpler without Simpler to use it as a basic and light video sampler.
#6
eVideoIn
Use the eVideoIn plug-in to use the video stream of a webcam, iPhone or iPad in EboSuite. You can use multiple eVideoIn plug-ins in your project with individual preview windows. Record video live and use your recordings in your performance right away. Turn your audio-visual show in a real live experience.

#15
eReturnTrack
The eReturnTrack plug-in allows you to send the visual output of any track to Live’s return tracks and manipulate them with visual effects separately.

#20
eConvert
With the eConvert plug-in you can easily convert video files to the HAP codec within Ableton Live. The Hap video codec is optimised for live video triggering, mixing and manipulation. You can drag the newly encoded video file directly from eConvert’s interface to an audio track or the eSampler/eSimpler for further use.
#21
eOutput
Use the eOutput plug-in to control the video output window. The settings are saved within the Live Set and automatically recalled, so you can easily make custom output window settings per Live Set. Use a preview window to monitor your mix on another screen. Split the render and output size to optimise performance.
#22

#24
eSamplerAnalyseSettings
Use the eSamplerAnalyserSettings plug-in to adjust the settings of the audio analysis used to slice samples automatically in the eSampler.
