Examples

Working Ableton Live extensions built with the ableton-extension skill. Each is a standalone project.

Example What it shows Needs yt-dlp+ffmpeg
url-to-clip/ Flagship showcase — webview URL modal → yt‑dlp/ffmpeg → audio clip in Session and Arrangement, named from the video title (3 context‑menu scopes, progress + cancel, sandbox‑safe). ✅
downloadwav/ Minimal "download a WAV from a URL into a clip slot" variant. ✅
cyclewarpmode/ Right‑click an audio clip to cycle its Warp Mode (handles the non‑contiguous WarpMode enum correctly). —
fillwithclips/ Fill a MIDI‑track time selection with empty clips as a single undo step. —

The last three were scaffolded with the official create-extension tool and hand‑verified in Live; url-to-clip was built from the skill's templates.

Setup (same for every example)

Examples that download from URLs (url-to-clip, downloadwav) also require:

brew install yt-dlp ffmpeg
  1. Put the Ableton SDK + CLI tarballs in the example's vendor/ folder — see each vendor/README.md. They're not in this repo (Ableton's private beta).
  2. npm install
  3. cp .env.example .env and set EXTENSION_HOST_PATH to your Live Beta app.
  4. In Live (Beta): Preferences → Extensions → Developer Mode (on).
  5. npm start, then right‑click in Live to find the extension's menu item.
