A little extension that turns notes into "fishes" (actually more like dots than fishes) and lets them swim around! So you can destroy a perfectly good midi file. Source/release: https://github.com/Maokus/fish-pond

  • MIDI Clip 1st Beat Repair

    MIDI Clip 1st Beat Repair

    utilityrbld.com.br

    Fixes MIDI notes that start just before a clip's start/loop point and therefore miss their note-on, so the first chord or drum hit actually sounds. If you play piano or program drums, you know the problem: a clip starts on the downbeat but the note (or chord) was played a hair early, so its note-on falls outside the clip and the first beat goes silent. Right-click a MIDI clip → Repair 1st beat, and any note crossing the start marker (or loop start) gets a guaranteed attack at that point. Modes Smart (default) — notes played just-early are nudged in for a clean attack; genuinely sustained notes are split so their body is preserved. Truncate — move the note head to the start point. Split — keep the outside part as a separate note. Cut at the start marker, the loop start, or both (re-attacks on every loop pass). Adjustable smart threshold (1/8–1/64). One undo step, idempotent (safe to re-run). Download: https://rbld.com.br/audio/downloads/midi-clip-1st-beat-repair-1.0.0.ablx Compatibility: Live 12 Beta (Extensions), SDK beta 1.0.0. Known limitations: Operates on one MIDI clip at a time. Notes only — sustain pedal / CC64 and clip automation aren't accessible in the current SDK, so pedal-based sustain isn't handled yet (planned for a future release).

  • .mod File Tracker Importer

    .mod File Tracker Importer

    utilitygithub.com

    I’ve been working on an Ableton Live Extension for importing classic tracker .mod files into Live as editable MIDI/Simpler tracks. It supports local .mod files and single ModArchive URL imports from https://modarchive.org/, extracts the samples, keeps as much of the tracker structure as possible, and shows a short import report with sample and effect information. It is not a full tracker file converter, but it is useful for bringing old MOD ideas into Ableton for editing and remixing. Limitations: some tracker effects, especially pitch slides, vibrato, fine pitch changes, and full playback automation, cannot be recreated exactly yet because the current Extensions SDK does not expose everything needed for that. More SDK access to MIDI pitch bend and automation would make this much more powerful. In the YoutTube demo I import “Beams of Light” by Walkman (Tor Bernhard Gausen), one of my favourite MODs from 1989. Around ten years later, in the late 1990s, it was covered by Hardy Hard as “Silversurfer”.

  • SplitScope: True center/side extraction for Audio Clips

    SplitScope: True center/side extraction for Audio Clips

    utilitygithub.com

    Right-click any audio clip in Live to extract Center, Sides, Left, Right, or Mixed audio with a live spectrogram preview. SplitScope is written in Rust + TypeScript and processes rendered clip audio locally. How to use 1. Right-click any audio clip. 2. Choose Open SplitScope.... 3. Adjust Mode, Strength, Threshold, Width, and Brightness. 4. Hit Preview to loop the processed audio. 5. Click inside the Spectrogram view to seek the preview. 6. Click Apply to import the extracted result back into the Live project. I wanted a fast way to isolate center or side content directly inside Live. Utility can be great for this - it does fixed M/S matrixing: Mid is essentially L+R, Side is essentially L-R, but SplitScope is an extraction tool: it analyses the audio by frequency, then lets you dial in how much center or side content to keep/remove, with preview + spectrogram before printing it back into Live.

  • Human Touch

    utilitygithub.com

    Add random human like jitter to notes, note length, and velocity https://github.com/claysmith/human-touch I had this idea, downloaded someone else's Ableton extensions skill, and vibe coded this. This is more of a proof of concept and test if anything, for myself. Decided to release in case anyone is helped by this. The idea is to stop midi notes sounding robotic, and more like they were played by a human. If you find this useful have at it

  • Delete Deactivated MIDI Notes

How to use Right-click a MIDI clip or MIDI track header and choose "Delete Deactivated MIDI Notes…". A dialog lets you choose the scope: This Clip: The clicked clip only (available when triggered from a clip) This Track: Every MIDI clip on that track, including Session slots, Arrangement, and take lanes Entire Live Set: Every MIDI clip on every MIDI track Once confirmed, a summary tells you how many notes were removed.

  • Mode Change

    Mode Change

    utilitywinterparkmusic.com

    The Mode Change Ableton Extension intelligently recognizes what key all of the MIDI notes are in your whole Live Set, and then allows you to change the key of all tonal material to a new key. All MIDI data within clips residing on tracks that contain drum racks remain unaffected. It's best to do a save-as before you use this Extension, as all MIDI notes are changed. A great way to use it is to have you MIDI clips playing before you open the extension, and use the 'Preview' button to real-time hear changes to your notes. Results can vary and you may not always get what you expect, but that's also part of the fun of it. Embrace the chaos. https://winterparkmusic.com/2026/06/03/ableton-extensions-mode-change/
