VibeMind for Ableton — the free bridge

Plug Claude (Desktop or Code) or ChatGPT (via Codex CLI) into Ableton Live 12. Ask for "a tech house loop at 126: kick, clap, hats and a bassline, 8 bars" and it builds it in your project: real tracks, real MIDI clips, your plugins and samples. Nothing is rendered by a model; every note is editable.

What is in the free bridge

• Live Remote Script (remote-script/): the bridge. Owns TCP 9877 (control) and 9878 (browser).
• Max for Live devices (m4l/): VibeMind_PluginHost x4 (host Serum 2, Vital, Diva… with every parameter and full state recall) and VibeMind_Arranger (timeline placement, locators), plus their JS handlers.
• vibemind-mcp server: one notarized binary shipped in the installer; registers itself with Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Codex CLI. 44 tools: session and transport, tracks, clips and notes, devices and parameters, browser search and load, Serum 1 preset read/write/analyse, plugin hosting.

This repository holds the Remote Script and the Max for Live devices (MIT, see NOTICE for the ableton-mcp lineage), the customer setup guide and the changelog. The server binary ships in the installer.

VibeMind Pro

The knowledge layer on top of the bridge: measured artist packs (John Summit, deadmau5, Technimatic today, one new artist every week), vibemind_place_spec (a whole arrangement into Live), vibemind_check_mix (your bounce against the artist's targets) and the pack downloader. $12/month or $79/year, 14-day trial inside the app. https://rollaaudio.com/vibemind#pro
