Live Extensions Overview

In this workshop, we’ll explore the new world of Ableton Live Extensions, a new way to add custom tools, functions, and creative workflows directly inside Ableton Live using JavaScript and right-click context menus.

Live Extensions open the door to tools that go beyond traditional devices: spectral audio editors, animated MIDI generators, batch utilities, embedded web apps, improved audio-to-MIDI tools, drum separators, clip editors, workflow helpers, and creative assistants.

We’ll look at how to find, install, and use the best Extensions currently available, then explore how these tools can speed up your workflow, spark new ideas, and expand what Live can do.

We’ll also look at how to start vibe coding your own Extensions, even if you are not an experienced programmer.
