What is Ableton-Vibe?
Ableton-Vibe is a tool that integrates with Ableton Live through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows users to directly control the functions of Ableton Live through simple commands, such as creating tracks and adding devices. Manual operations are not required, which improves work efficiency.How to use Ableton-Vibe?
First, ensure that the necessary dependencies and Ableton Live are installed. Then start the Ableton-Vibe server and send commands to Ableton Live through the command line to achieve automated operations.Use cases
Ableton-Vibe is suitable for music producers, DJs, or audio engineers who need to operate Ableton Live frequently. For example, creating tracks in batches, quickly adjusting device parameters, or performing complex MIDI editing tasks.Main features
Create a MIDI trackAutomatically create a new MIDI track in Ableton Live by specifying the index position.
Add a deviceAdd a virtual instrument or effect to the current track according to the specified conditions.
Adjust parametersSupport real-time modification of device parameters, such as volume, panning, or effect settings.
Advantages and limitations
Advantages
Improve work efficiency and reduce repetitive operations.
Support cross-platform operation and be compatible with multiple operating systems.
Be easily integrated into the existing workflow.
Be an open-source project with active community support.
Limitations
Currently only support Ableton Live 11 and have not been fully adapted to Ableton Live 12.
Require a certain programming foundation to write custom scripts.
May require additional configuration on the Windows platform to adapt to the path logic.
How to use
Install dependencies
Ensure that Node.js and related tools (such as Yarn and PNPM) are installed. Run the following commands to install the necessary dependencies: `yarn` and `pnpm install`.
Clone and start Ableton-Vibe
After cloning the repository and entering the directory, run `pnpm i` to install the dependencies. Then start the server: `npm run build`.
Configure Claude
Edit the configuration file of Claude and add the path of the MCP server. Refer to the README document for the specific path.
Test the function
Try to send a command, such as 'Create a MIDI track at index 0', to verify whether the server is working properly.
