Ableton does have M4L modulation, but it's nowhere near the same from all accounts I've read.I know Bitwig is full of modulation options option, but has Ableton Live 12 added more and similar modulation features that's comparable to Bitwig? Or are there at least some max4live devices that can give ableton users similar modulation features?
Firstly, I've read reports of having just a few open on a single isntrument, doing nothing, and pegging CPU's to 30-50%. Secondly, I've read reports of poor/broken PDC causing said M4L modulators timings fall/drift apart.
Modulation is native in Bitwig, offering 43 modulators in the device racks, and whatever modulation schemes you can dream up in the Grid. Modulators can modulate modulators, you can multi-voice things and have separate modulations for separate voices, have modulation sequences, and so on and so on. You are allowed to basically point a modulator to anything, including the ability to have project wide modulators.
In contrast to Ableton reports I've read, here is silly screenshot of 90 MSEGS I opened on a track after launching Bitwig, and Bitwig is still only using 7% CPU in total. The timing of the modulation in Bitwig is audio-rate accurate.
The modulation possibilities in Bitwig allows me to take a second, third, and fourth glance at any plug-in/synth I am contemplating using, because it unlocks all of these new potential applications/uses for them.
Cheers
