What is an AMXD file?
The AMXD file extension is an Audio device settings file associated with Ableton Max Patch. The software allows users to build instruments and effects for use within Ableton Live, and the AMXD files contain setting format on audio, MIDI effect, and the custom instrument used in Max for Live software. They allow music producers to extend the default Ableton Live devices. There are several free patches available to download in Max for Live such as Already Played, Pitch Drop, Visual Metronome, Motion Mod, and many more. When these patches are being downloaded, they would be the AMXD file. Some of these files can be located from audio tracks while others are in MIDI tracks. This depends on the type of effect it possesses.
