VixSound is an AI assistant that lives inside Ableton Live, letting you generate MIDI, separate stems, and control your DAW through natural language or voice commands — all without leaving your session.
What is VixSound?
VixSound is a plugin for Ableton Live (macOS 12+, Ableton 11 and later) that acts as an AI co-producer. You type or speak what you want — a chord progression, a drum pattern, a stem separation — and VixSound generates editable MIDI clips, loads instruments from your library, adjusts mix parameters, and arranges tracks. All audio processing (stem separation, key/tempo detection, audio-to-MIDI) runs locally on your machine; only text messages are sent to the AI for chat responses. Every output you create is fully yours to release and monetize.
Key Features
- MIDI Generation — Create melodies, chords, basslines, and drum patterns in any genre by describing them in plain language. Output is editable MIDI clips placed directly in your Ableton session.
- Stem Separation — Split any song into drums, bass, vocals, and other stems. Runs locally with no upload; Starter plan includes 5 separations per month, higher tiers unlimited.
- Instrument Search — Search your Ableton library and load instruments, effects, and presets by describing what you want (e.g., “warm pad synth”).
- Mix & Arrange — Control volume, panning, effects, and track arrangement through natural language commands or voice.
- Audio Analysis — Detect tempo, key, time signature, and structure of any audio file — all processed locally.
- Audio to MIDI — Transcribe melodies and harmonies from audio into editable MIDI notes.
- Full DAW Control — Create tracks, load devices, set tempo, route audio, record, and arrange your entire session from chat or voice.
- Voice Commands — Speak hands-free into your microphone; VixSound understands English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, and more.
Who is it for?
- Electronic music producers who want to quickly sketch chord progressions and drum patterns without leaving their DAW.
- Beatmakers who need to generate basslines or separate stems from samples for remixing.
- Songwriters who want to transcribe vocal or instrumental ideas into MIDI for further arrangement.
- Ableton Live users who prefer controlling their DAW through natural language instead of clicking through menus.
What can you do with VixSound?
- Generate a full beat from a prompt: Describe “a 120 BPM lo-fi hip-hop beat with piano chords and a mellow bassline” — VixSound creates the corresponding MIDI clips on new tracks.
- Separate stems from a reference track: Drop an MP3 into VixSound and get isolated drums, bass, vocals, and other stems for remixing or sampling.
- Transcribe a hummed melody to MIDI: Record an audio clip of your voice, run audio-to-MIDI, and edit the resulting notes with your own instruments.
How does VixSound work?
After installing the plugin in Ableton Live, you open the VixSound chat panel inside your session. Type or use the microphone to describe what you want. The AI processes your request and generates MIDI clips, loads devices, or adjusts mix parameters — all directly in your project. Audio analysis and stem separation run offline on your computer; only chat text is sent to the cloud.
