generative

A built-in clap & snare synthesizer. Shape the sound with knobs covering the full signal path: - Burst pattern (count/spacing/spread) for the classic multi-hit clap flam - Bandpass-filtered noise bursts (tone/bandwidth/decay/level) - Noise tail with its own tone, decay and level for snares/reverb-tail claps - Body oscillator (tone/decay) with punch for a low-end thump - Pre-hit (reverse tail) - Drive, wavefold, asymmetry and more Lock any parameter and hit Randomize to explore variations while keeping locked values fixed. Save, rename, and manage your favorite settings as presets, with import/export support. When you're happy with the result, it renders one or more hits and drops them in as audio clips: at the time-selection in the Arrangement, into selected Session clip slots, or at the start of the clicked track. MIDI tracks automatically get a new audio track to host the clip. Any feedback is appreciated!

Features Progression II — Functional jazz grid ordered for common progressions (I–vi–IV–ii–V–iii–vii), showing secondary dominants, diatonic chords, and borrowed chords per column Dark Harmony — Chromatic grid built around the natural minor scale with augmented, diminished, and Neapolitan colors Queue and write — Click chords to build a progression queue, then write the result as a MIDI clip Smart placement — Clip is placed in the first empty slot on the right-clicked track How to use Right-click any MIDI Track and choose Create Chord Progression…. Select a key and harmony mode. Click chords in the grid to add them to the progression queue. Click Write to MIDI Clip to create a new MIDI clip. Each chord is written as four simultaneous notes (close voicing, whole-note duration, velocity 80) with one bar per chord. The clip is named with the chord symbols joined by " – " (e.g. Cm7 – F7 – Bbmaj7). Download: https://github.com/federico-pepe/ableton-live-extensions
Composition Aide
utilitygithub.com
I built this because I wanted a music theory cheat sheet that actually lived inside Ableton. Right-click a clip, see the key, the Roman numerals, what scales to solo over, and which upper structure triads open up the sound — without leaving the session. The Modal Explorer came from wanting to poke at progressions I'd never naturally gravitate toward and understand why they work. Pure personal use, shared in case it's useful to anyone else.
AbleVSEP: Free MVSEP-Powered Stem Separation
generativegithub.com
Separate any audio clip into stems with any of MVSEP's 126+ models for free, right inside Ableton Live. If you haven't heard of MVSEP, here's my rave review: MVSEP is a service made by one person and has become my go-to AI stem separation suite these days, and I've spent good money in the past on tools like iZotope RX Advanced and of course Ableton Suite. They have the latest open models like Demucs, their ensemble models are cutting-edge, they publish benchmarks, and their individual instrument models have enabled me to do things like pull my live saxophone performance out of a full arrangement that was recorded on a shitty cell phone mic at a gig, with enough quality for me to remaster the live video to nearly studio quality. Their service is no BS and they have a generous free quota of 50 generations per day. Plus, they have an API, which this extension uses. (I'm not affiliated with or sponsored by MVSEP, although I did just email them asking if they want to work something out, haha)

Save, rename, and manage your favorite settings as presets, with import/export support. When you're happy with the result, it renders one or more kicks and drops them in as audio clips: at the time-selection in the Arrangement, into selected Session clip slots, or at the start of the clicked track. MIDI tracks automatically get a new audio track to host the clip.

Drum Fill Generator
generativerbld.com.br
Select a time range on a MIDI drum track, right-click → Drum Fill Generator…, and it writes a fresh, humanized drum fill into the clip — capped with a kick + crash on the next downbeat. Never generates the same fill twice. Hey everyone! I kept hitting the same wall while producing — drum loops that needed a little something to break the repetition, and drawing fills by hand every few bars got old fast. So I built this. You pick a spot, choose the intensity (simple → complex) and which rhythmic figures to use (1/4 down to 1/64), and it generates a fill that accelerates toward the downbeat, with optional humanization on timing and velocity. There's a MIDI Learn mode too — hit the button and tap your pads to map your kit live (Push, Launchpad, SL MkII, whatever you've got). It ships with presets for Addictive Drums 2, General MIDI, and a 64-pad AD2 drum rack I used on the tests, plus you can save your own using midi learn. Every generation is randomized, so you can keep clicking until one feels right. Want to be notified about updates? Join the list — email me at robledosilva@rbld.com.br, or just DM me here on Discord with your email and I'll add you. No spam, only update pings. Compatibility: Ableton Live 12.4.5+ (Extensions feature, beta) · built on the Extensions SDK beta 1.0.0 · single .ablx runs on Windows & macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon). Known limitations: Live Extensions are still beta. MIDI Learn relies on a small native module — prebuilt binaries for Win/macOS are bundled, and if you're on an uncovered platform the extension still runs fine, just with MIDI Learn disabled. Mainly battle-tested on Windows so far — macOS feedback very welcome! Would love to hear what you make with it, and any feature ideas are super welcome. Cheers!
Kit-Maker
generativegithub.com
Kit-Maker is a workflow extension built using the open Ableton Live 12 Extensions SDK. It provides an intuitive interface to instantly generate custom Drum Racks by randomizing samples arranged in the standard General MIDI (GM) drum kit note map. Whether you need inspiration from vintage hardware or modern styles, Kit-Maker populates your drum pads with a single click. Features Algorithmic Randomization: Generate drum kits inspired by classic drum machines (TR-808, TR-909, TR-606) or modern styles like Hip-Hop and Trap. Pad Locking System: Individually lock specific drum pads to keep your favorite sounds while randomizing the remaining pads. General MIDI Standard Alignment: Automatically maps elements (Acoustic Bass Drum, Snare, Claps, Hi-Hats, Toms) to their correct MIDI note coordinates. Native Integration: Runs directly inside Ableton Live as a lightweight, floating extension UI panel. System Requirements DAW: Ableton Live 12 Suite (Public Beta version 12.4.5 or later). Note: Standard, Intro, or Lite editions do not support the Extensions SDK. Installation Download the latest release (Kit-Maker.ablx) from the Releases tab. Launch Ableton Live 12 Beta. Open Settings / Preferences and navigate to the Extensions tab. Drag and drop the Kit-Maker.ablx file directly into the Extensions pane. Restart Ableton Live. How to Use Create or select a MIDI Track in your Session or Arrangement view. Right-click on the MIDI track header. Navigate to Extensions in the context menu and select Kit-Maker: Open. Use the interface to customize your sound settings, lock preferred pads, and hit generate. The extension will automatically construct and load a fresh Drum Rack directly onto your track!

MEGABREAK OF DOOM GENERATOR v1.01
utilitydrive.google.com
This is an evolution of a trick I came up with on the Octatrack about a decade ago - basically slicing multiple loops into a 'matrix' and then using a macro to cut between them instantly. You could then make intricate edits to a bunch of patterns triggering the instrument and instantly chop and change between which loop it was triggering at any point of the bar - instant jungle mayhem at the click of a button. It was always great fun but an absolute nightmare to set up. Now it works in about 3 clicks (and absolutely no physical chopping of samples, just a bit of JS calculating sample start and end points on Simpler). Setup: 1. Put a bunch of audio loops on a track (Session or Arrangement). 2. Select them all and right-click > wascal: Megabreak of Doom Generator [SIMPLER] v1.0 3. Pick a slice count - The extension will build the Drum Rack and a matching MIDI clip. (Nb; the shortest loop length will be used as the basis for the generated instrument.) 4. Follow the manual instruction step on the FINAL STEPS screen - mapping Macro 1 onto the Pitch knob (Min 0, Max = your sample count − 1) ... Now Macro 1 hard-cuts between your sliced loops at any point in the pattern Tip: works best with loops at (or warped to) your project tempo, since slices play at the sample's native speed. Btw - it also has a use case for longer samples - set up say, 8 different 4 bar loops on it and you can use the knob to cut between them at any time with a single knob twist - consolidating 8 channels into one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmQZWL06kUI Enjoy!

Midnight Tools
generativegithub.com
Midnight Tools is a free, open-source Ableton Live 12 extension that adds right-click chord tools to MIDI clips. It's built on Ableton's official Extensions SDK and it's MIT-licensed. There are two modes. Transform reshapes a clip's existing chords. You pick a rhythm, a voicing, swing, and humanize, and the right column shows a live before/after piano-roll so you can hear it before committing. Generate builds a fresh diatonic progression from a key, scale, length, density, and mood, then lets you edit it per chord. Each chord has its own voicing, inversion, slash bass, and add9/sus extension, plus a Smooth voice-leading toggle that auto-inverts for minimal motion. You can lock chords you like and reshuffle only the unlocked ones from the Variations panel. Nothing touches your Set until you hit Apply, and there's a built-in Audition button so you can preview the result through a synth without playing the clip. Download the .ablx and drop it on Live's Settings, Extensions (Live 12 Suite Beta 12.4.5+): https://github.com/ecarter/ableton-midnight-tools Code, releases, and source: https://github.com/ecarter/ableton-midnight-tools
