It refuses description, allowing only the vague approach of adjectives: dark, light, raw, angelic. Who or what is making these noises? Where are they coming from and what do they point to? What kind of entity can leave such a troubling sonic remnant?

I know. This thread is not meant as a replacement. If things are going in a similar direction like with Max for Live devices we'll see a "flood" of extensions. Check the Max for Live device library
I like our Max for Live thread and find it useful – hope the same goes for this one.It refuses description, allowing only the vague approach of adjectives: dark, light, raw, angelic.

No time for the Live beta but this seems like a must have extension

Ableton are going to have to do something about the Extensions part of the context menu, like allow nested folders or something, otherwise we're going to need an Extension to manage running our massive collections of Extensions....

I suck at coding, so maybe my question sounds stupid. Is it possible, with this new extension system, to create an interface between midi or key signals and Ableton live shortcuts ? So I can play a note and this note becomes a shift+S for exemple ?
A guy just released and app that does that and it seems great (it’s called trigger Ableton key hacker by all good folks) but maybe it’s possible to reproduce it easily with extensions…

How do we get it free, then? Even the link on the official Extensions Discord take you to the paid Gumroad page.

Extensions (ABLX) are a new feature included in an upcoming - no cost, free - update for Suite user (beta for now).whyterabbyt wrote: Sun Jun 07, 2026 10:51 amHow do we get it free, then? Even the link on the official Extensions Discord take you to the paid Gumroad page.
The extension I posted is a third party ABLX and yes it's commercial (I'm not the dev btw). The "system" is similar to Max for Live devices; an ABLX can be free or paid. It is up to the dev.
Regarding the entries in the extension library: it seems there is no option to set an ABLX to "commercial" like one can do when posting a new device in the Max for Live library. I already mentioned this "issue" via Discord to Ableton.
