How to Rewire an Abelton 8

Live 8 is an advanced digital music sequencer published and sold by Ableton. Unlike other audio sequencers that are mostly aimed at home production and studio work, Live is designed to appeal to performers and DJs who want to improvise electronically. It's possible to rewire Live 8 so you can use its features and effects on your other projects in different sequencers
