Aether + Ableton Live
AI MIDI Generator for Ableton Live
Load Aether on a MIDI track, describe the part you hear, and drag the result straight into your Live set.
Aether is an AI MIDI generator built to live inside Ableton Live. Load it like any other plugin, type a plain-language prompt, and it returns playable, editable MIDI you can drag onto any track — no exporting, no switching apps, no breaking your flow in the middle of a session.
Loading Aether in Ableton Live
Aether installs as VST3 on Windows and as VST3 or AU on macOS, so Live picks it up like any other instrument plugin. Drop it on a MIDI track from the browser, open the UI, and start prompting. The standalone app is there too when you want to sketch ideas without opening Live at all.
Drag MIDI into Session or Arrangement
Every generation is standard MIDI. Drag it out of Aether and into a clip slot or onto the timeline, then edit it in Live's piano roll like anything you played in yourself.
- ✓Generate separable Bass, Harmony, and Lead parts and drag each to its own track
- ✓Refine a part in chat instead of rerolling — Aether edits the MIDI it already wrote
- ✓Multi-track .mid export with tempo and time signature

Frequently asked questions
Does Aether work with Ableton Live?
Yes. Aether loads in Ableton Live as a VST3 on Windows and as VST3 or AU on macOS. Put it on a MIDI track, prompt for a part, and drag the generated MIDI into Session or Arrangement view.
How do I get Aether's MIDI onto a Live track?
Drag it. Generated parts drag out of Aether like a clip — drop them into a Session clip slot or onto the Arrangement timeline, and they behave like any MIDI you recorded yourself.
Can Aether follow my Live set's tempo?
Yes. As a plugin Aether syncs with the host, and exported multi-track .mid files carry tempo and time signature.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Aether is a one-time $60 purchase. Bring your own AI provider key or run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio for free.
