Description
Backspin brings realistic vinyl-style backspins and rewinds to Ableton Live. The free version includes the classic Stop, Rewind, and Backspin modes with clean auto-muting for DJ transitions. Backspin+ expands the device with Custom Mode for drawing your own spin shapes, audio import, preset saving, and an experimental Scratch Mode with fine/coarse control via mouse, MIDI, or automation. It’s ideal for live DJ sets, studio productions and creative sound design.
