Hi all,

Just shipped my first product Volta, a command palette for Ableton Live. Sharing here in case it's useful.

What it does:
Hit Cmd+Shift+K (Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows) anywhere in Ableton, type what you want, hit enter. Loads onto the selected track. Works for devices, racks, samples, and presets (almost) anything in the Live browser.

Beyond search:
- Power keys: bind any device/rack/sample to a single keypress
- Macros: chain commands together such as: Wavetable; Delay; Compressor will result in a track with the following devices Wavetable -> Delay -> Compressor (Of course this also works for other VST plugins as well)
- Inline BPM
- Favorites for the things you reach for daily

Compatibility:
- Ableton Live 11 and 12
- macOS 12+
- Windows 10/11
- Easy install, no manual setup needed

Pricing:
- 7-day free trial, full features, no credit card required
- €49 early bird
- €59 once the early-bird window closes
- One-time payment, one machine per license

Demo:

Solo-built. I'm around to support it properly. Bug reports, feature requests, and feedback all welcome :)

I wish every program had a command palette like vs code
