FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
ALCHMY is an AI coproducer for Ableton Live. Ask for what you want, by typing or by voice, and it works with what is already in your Set: it can write chord progressions, basslines, melodies and drum patterns, add tracks, instruments, samples and effects, change the tempo or key, and build an arrangement from your loops.
ALCHMY changes your Live Set when you ask it to and tells you what it did. There is no separate approval step and it has no undo of its own: Live’s Edit ▸ Undo takes a change back, sometimes in more than one step, so work on a copy of a Set you care about. It is a beta, so it can still be wrong.
Yes. ALCHMY is a Mac app that connects to Live through its own Control Surface script, AlchmyBridge, and works directly in your open Live Set, with no bouncing or exporting stems.
When you ask, out goes your request, the recent conversation, the details of your Live Set it read (names, tempo, mixer and device settings, the MIDI notes it looked at) and the names and locations of samples it found — never your project’s audio. A spoken request goes to OpenAI only to become text. The Privacy Policy has the details.
Producers who make music in Ableton Live on a Mac and want help creating, refining and finishing tracks, from people learning to finish their first songs to producers who release regularly. Beta participants must be 18 or older and live in the United States, and need a supported Mac and Ableton Live 12 Suite. Your feedback helps shape what ALCHMY becomes.
The beta runs on Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 14 or later, with Ableton Live 12 Suite, version 12.4 (any 12.4.x update). With other versions of Live, ALCHMY can read your Set but won’t change it, and Live’s Intro, Lite and Standard editions haven’t been tested. Intel Macs, Windows and other DAWs are not supported in the beta.
You join the beta waitlist. That is all a request does: it doesn’t create an account or guarantee an invitation, and no confirmation email is sent. We invite producers in small batches, on no fixed schedule, and if you’re invited we’ll email you with everything you need to create your account and install ALCHMY. Choosing Windows records your interest only: the beta runs on macOS.
