LIA is an Ableton AI assistant for UK producers on macOS and Windows. Through the LIA Bridge, the small helper app that connects LIA to Ableton Live, you turn plain English into editable MIDI. Ask for a two-step garage shuffle, a 174 BPM drum and bass break, or a grime bassline, and it lands as clips and tracks you fully control.

Two-step garage, 174 BPM drum and bass, 140 grime: describe the groove and tempo, and LIA writes MIDI and session actions you can inspect, edit, or reject.
It writes editable MIDI inside Ableton Live built for UK styles: a swung two-step garage groove, a 140 BPM grime beat, a rolling drum and bass break near 174 BPM, or a half-time dubstep pattern. You describe the feel in English and LIA writes it into real clips on real tracks you keep editing.
Yes. Set the exact BPM and ask for swing or shuffle, and LIA writes the MIDI to match: a shuffled garage hat pattern, a 174 BPM DnB break, or a 140 BPM grime skeleton. Through the LIA Bridge it also sets the session tempo, so the whole Ableton project stays on grid.
Through the LIA Bridge, LIA creates MIDI tracks, writes and edits clip notes, sets tempo, adjusts track volume, pan, mute, solo, and sends, loads devices by preset, and manages scenes. Output is MIDI, and every change lands in your Ableton Live project for you to keep or reject.
A UK bass track stays notes and clips you keep reshaping, rather than a finished file you cannot open.
Song generators return a finished audio file you cannot open up. LIA is an assistant instead: it writes editable MIDI, tracks, and session changes inside Ableton Live, so a garage bassline or DnB break stays notes and clips you can reshape, rather than one render you either accept or throw away.
Push-to-talk starts on Starter and up, and Realtime Talk Mode is planned for launch from Studio up. Push-to-talk is handy when your hands are on the controller: you speak a request and LIA responds with editable MIDI and session changes in Ableton Live through the LIA Bridge on macOS and Windows.
Yes. It runs from your browser on desktop or phone alongside Ableton Live on macOS and Windows, so a bedroom or small-studio setup is enough. LIA prompts and responds in English plus nine other languages, and the Free trial includes 10 total trial productions to test the workflow first.
