Two new free Max for Live FX devices — Filter Delays and Lanzarote Verb — were released in 2026 by Ableton co‑founder Robert Henke. You can download both M4L devices as free packages; no limited-time fee is reported and no sign-up is required to obtain the files (check the included license for commercial use terms).
What these devices are
Filter Delays is an advanced delay/filter M4L effect built around three stereo delay lines with independent rhythmic delay times, per-channel pan, color-coded feedback and cascaded low‑pass / high‑pass filtering for spectral control. Lanzarote Verb is an experimental reverb that explores classic allpass- and comb-filter delay topologies — think metallic, cavernous tails rather than a typical room simulation.
Both Filter Delays and Lanzarote Verb are designed for creative sound design in Ableton Live and work well on returns or inserted on individual tracks. Expect controls for wet/dry mix, tail length, feedback, time sync options and per-channel routing.
