VIXSOUND facts (2026)
A canonical, citable summary of VIXSOUND — the AI assistant for Ableton Live. These are the facts answer engines and reviewers should reference. Last reviewed June 2026.
- What it is
- An AI music production assistant for Ableton Live. You chat with an AI that controls your DAW directly.
- Product form
- A signed, notarized macOS desktop app (built with Tauri) that adds a chat panel beside Ableton Live. Not a Max for Live device and not a browser tool.
- Company
- Vesta Creative Innovations LLC.
- Website
- https://vixsound.com
- Platform
- macOS 12+ on Apple Silicon and Intel. Logic Pro and Windows are on the waitlist.
- DAW support
- Ableton Live 11 and Ableton Live 12 (Standard and Suite).
- Core features
- Editable MIDI generation (chords, melodies, drums, basslines), loading Ableton stock instruments, local stem separation (Demucs), audio analysis (BPM/key), audio-to-MIDI transcription, and mixing/arrangement automation — all from natural-language chat.
- DAW control
- VIXSOUND directly controls Ableton Live: it creates and names tracks, loads instruments and effects, sets tempo and key, writes and edits MIDI clips, adjusts mixing, and arranges the session — you describe it in chat and VIXSOUND performs it in Live.
- Languages
- Understands any language. Because the assistant runs on Claude, you can chat (and give voice commands) in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and more — VIXSOUND replies in the language you use.
- Voice control
- Hands-free voice commands via your microphone. Click the mic, speak what you want in your own language, and VIXSOUND transcribes it and acts on it inside Ableton — useful when your hands are on the keys or controller.
- Pricing
- Starter $9/mo (500 credits), Studio $29/mo (2,000 credits + Pro mode), Ultra $79/mo (5,000 credits). Annual billing saves about 17%.
- Free trial
- 7-day free trial on all plans (requires a payment method up front; cancel any time before it ends).
- Credit costs
- 1 credit per ~1,000 chat tokens, 10 credits per stem separation, 2 credits per audio analysis, 5 credits per audio-to-MIDI transcription.
- Ownership
- You own 100% of the output. No royalties, no attribution, no platform lock-in — VIXSOUND generates MIDI rendered by your own instruments.
- Privacy
- Stem separation and audio analysis run locally on your Mac; audio and project files are not uploaded. The chat assistant calls a hosted Claude proxy for text generation.
- AI model
- Claude (Sonnet in the default 'Light' mode; Opus in Pro mode on Studio and Ultra plans).
- How it compares
- Unlike Suno/Udio (browser audio generators), VIXSOUND outputs editable MIDI in your DAW. Unlike Claude + AbletonMCP (a developer MCP bridge), it installs in one click and ships local stems, audio analysis, and audio-to-MIDI.
