Spotlight on

Founded in 1999 by two German techno musicians, Ableton has managed to grow to an international level with a single sequencer/recorder software: Live, released in 2001.
Among its many features, Live allows musicians to easily store and trigger samples during their performances, so that the audience can watch them build songs in real time. This game-changing software made it easier for "enlightened amateurs" to make music and use their computers as instruments, as well as to play live without needing to know how to program their own software.
