For years the best AI assistants for Ableton Live were Mac-first, and Windows producers were stuck copying prompts into a browser or wiring up open-source MCP bridges by hand. VIXSOUND now runs natively on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit) as a public beta — the same signed desktop app, the same chat panel beside Ableton, the same music-tuned AI that controls your DAW directly.
On Windows, VIXSOUND does everything the macOS build does: it generates editable MIDI (chords, drums, basslines, melodies) on new tracks, separates stems locally with Demucs so your audio never leaves your PC, analyzes BPM and key, transcribes audio to MIDI, designs sounds with Ableton's stock instruments, and automates mixing and arrangement from natural-language prompts. It installs its own Ableton Remote Script during the first-run wizard, so there's no Python, no Max for Live, and no JSON config to edit.
Below: what works on Windows today, how the install handles SmartScreen and antivirus reputation warnings, which Ableton versions are supported, and how to get started with the 7-day free trial.
Authenticode-signed installer, auto-updates included. Requires Ableton Live 11 or later on a 64-bit Windows PC.
Ask for a chord progression, drum pattern, bassline, or melody in any genre and VIXSOUND writes it as editable MIDI on a new track, loading a matching instrument from your Ableton library. Everything stays editable — it’s just notes.
Drag a sample into the chat and ask VIXSOUND to separate it. The Demucs engine runs locally on your Windows machine (no cloud upload), and drums, bass, vocals, and other land on four new tracks. See the stem separation workflow.
Ask “what BPM and key is this?” for instant local analysis, or transcribe an audio phrase into editable MIDI you can re-route to any synth. Both run on-device with Librosa and a local transcription model.
Type “sidechain the bass to the kick at 4 dB” or “build an 8-bar drop then a 4-bar break” and VIXSOUND applies the device chains and timeline edits as normal Live objects you can tweak.
