- Load plugins by voice (e.g., "Serum", "EQ8", "OTT")
- Navigate Ableton's interface with voice commands
- Trigger common actions through speech
The command structure is defined in JSON files, making it easy to add new applications or extend functionality:
- Modify expressions.json to customize Ableton commands
- Create new JSON definition files for other applications
To build a standalone macOS application:
python setup.py py2app
- macOS
