	tl;dr: Ableton Live 13 adds a built-in Step Sequencer, ARA 2 support (with Melodyne essential in Suite), Capture Automation, Drum Synth, expanded Racks (up to 32 Macros, Multiband/Mid-Side types), Envelope Clips, and mixer upgrades including Send sliders and Device Slots. Push 3 gets Custom Layouts, a Performance Mixer, and Step Sequencer layout, while Push 2 receives a subset of these. Release is slated for early 2027, with pre-orders available at 20% off for existing Live 12 owners.
