Ableton Forum

It's plenty wonderful to be able to create vst(i) instruments for ableton but it would be so much nicer to be able to create plugins directly for ableton. Especially if the ableton's ui was brought into them so they fit into the program seamlessly. This would be a wonderful adition to the software.

I know there's the live API being worked on(third party through midi remote scripts and python) but it's nearly completly useless.

Examples of plugins would be effects, instruments, and midi effects(of course)

On top of that mixer level plugins that would reside say next to the sends. And general Master level plugins.

It would be so useful to have say a plugin that is a small display with a few midi buttons that could be activated and deactivated for example providing visual feedback to whatever is happening(like the mute buttons) or to create a little window which would analyze the audio signal and draw a spectral graph to represent it so we could see the levels. So on.

I think an implementation like this would make live absolutly boom past any DAW(even tho for the purposes it was designed for it already does).

Please ableton, I would invest half of my music making time into writing plugins for ableton

Can ableton make a new plugin that does this bit.
Please?
Or allow Audio In to Sampler for a realtime picture of the sound (And of course use all its other features for sound design at the same time)
I'd love this.

well there are many vst's that do that already, My idea is to help developers produce new features into ableton. Not a single one.

come on people think about it this feature would allow users to fix ALL the problems and imperfections in live to their sattisfaction. Where's them +1s?

+1

Already been requested many times before now too. A public and well documented API would help spur Live on to further ubiquity.
