  • Composition Aide

    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

    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)

  • .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”.

  • Bento Kick

    generativegithub.com

    A built-in kick drum synthesizer. Shape the sound with knobs covering the full signal path: - Pitch envelope (start/end/decay, with snapback) - Body oscillator with feedback FM and CZ-style phase distortion - Sub oscillator - FM layer - Click transient (tone/level/decay) - Pre-hit (reverse tail) - Punch, 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 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

    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!

  • 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.

  • MEGABREAK OF DOOM GENERATOR v1.01

    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!
