Chorus for Ableton Live
Chorus reads your Live set and proposes notes, mix moves, device settings, arrangements and audio edits. You hear each one in Live, keep the bars you like, and undo anything.
Chorus is the AI agent inside your DAW, for Ableton Live, Logic Pro and FL Studio. It proposes changes you hear, review and undo. Works with Ableton Live 12, any edition, on macOS.
Things to ask in Live
- “Add ghost notes to the snare in the verse drums”
- “Write a bassline that locks with the kick for this scene”
- “Turn these four scenes into a 3-minute arrangement”
- “Pull Vocal Main down 2 dB and send a little more to the reverb”
- “Find a dusty 90 BPM break in my Splice folder and put it under the intro”
What Chorus can do in Live
Write and edit MIDI
New parts and edits to existing clips: notes, velocity, timing, ghost notes, variations. Shown in green, red and amber on the piano roll, bar by bar.
Mix
Volume, pan, mute and solo, sends and returns, and the master, shown as before → after in dB.
Devices
Any parameter on any device, including the devices inside racks, in Live's own units.
Arrange
Plan a song section by section, then build it in the arrangement from your scenes, with locators. Insert or remove bars.
Edit audio
Warp markers, quantize audio, transpose, detune and clip gain.
Hear it in Live
Audition a proposal in the real clip and switch between the original and the proposal while it loops.
Bring in audio
Samples from your own library, stems, and generated sounds from plugins land on an audio track as a change you review.

Live's own AI features, and what Chorus adds
Live 12.3 (July 2026) added stem separation built into Live, running on your computer, and Splice integration that suggests samples matching your project. Live 12 also has MIDI Generators and Transformations in the clip view.
Chorus works across the whole set at once: it reads every track, writes and edits parts, mixes, arranges and edits audio from one request, and shows every change for review before it reaches Live.
Questions
Which versions of Live does it work with?
Ableton Live 12, any edition (Intro, Standard or Suite), on a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 12 or later.
Does Chorus change my project without asking?
No. Every change arrives as a proposal you can hear, review and edit. Nothing reaches your DAW until you apply it, and History can undo anything Chorus applied.
What does it cost?
Chorus is free during the beta. It runs on your own AI key, so you pay the provider directly for what you use; a typical request costs a few cents, and you set spending limits.
What leaves my Mac?
Only what the agent needs for each request: track, clip and device names and values, and the notes it reads, sent to the AI provider you chose, with your key. Your audio, samples and project files stay on your Mac. The trust page has the details. Read the trust page →
