AI Songwriting Assistant for Ableton Live

Most MIDI generators write in a vacuum: you get a chord progression in C minor whether or not your song is in C minor, and a melody that walks all over the vocal. Then you spend longer fixing it than writing it. Songwriting help is only useful if it knows the song.

How do producers make songwriting in Ableton in Ableton manually?

That means the key, which chord is under each bar, where the chorus lifts, and where the singer breathes. VIXSOUND listens first. It reads the audio already in your Ableton set and maps the key, a bar-by-bar chord progression, an energy curve, and the exact spans where the vocal sings and rests.

How does VIXSOUND generate songwriting in Ableton?

Then it writes: a bass part that follows your changes, keys that voice the progression, or a hook that answers between vocal lines instead of on top of them. You get MIDI clips on the timeline, in time with your arrangement, ready to re-voice or rewrite.

Songwriting workflows from chat

Listen first

Key, chords, and vocal map of your song

"Listen to my song and tell me the progression." VIXSOUND returns the key and the chord in each bar of your arrangement, plus where the energy rises and where the vocal sits.

Parts that follow

Bass and keys on your changes

"Write a bassline that follows the chords in the verse, root notes with a passing tone into the chorus." The part follows the progression VIXSOUND heard, bar by bar.

Answer the vocal

Counter-melodies that leave the singer room

"Add a guitar-like counter-melody that plays only when the vocal rests." Phrases land in the vocal's gaps instead of fighting it.

New sections

A bridge or pre-chorus that belongs

"Write chords for an 8-bar bridge that lifts into the last chorus." New harmony stays in the song's key and leads back into the section you already have.

Copy-paste prompts

Paste any of these into the VIXSOUND chat inside Ableton Live to get started fast.

›Listen to my song and write the chord progression bar by bar
›Write a bassline for the chorus that follows the chords, with a walk-up into bar 9
›Add a soft piano counter-melody that only plays in the gaps between vocal lines
›Give me an 8-bar bridge in the same key that builds into the final chorus

Frequently asked questions

Does it need MIDI of my song, or can it work from audio?
It works from the audio already in your set, like a bounced demo, a vocal, or a guitar take. It reads those clips in Live and maps key, chords, and vocal phrases from them.
Will it write lyrics?
It is built for the music: chords, basslines, melodies, and arrangement. You can still talk through ideas in chat, but its job is writing parts that fit your song.
Can I edit what it writes?
Yes. Every part is a MIDI clip on your timeline. Re-voice it, change notes, or load a different instrument.
How is this different from the AI MIDI generator page?
/ai-midi-generator is about generating MIDI ideas from a prompt. This page is about writing parts for a song you already have, after VIXSOUND listens to it.
