Rewire Studio
Rewire Studio is fast, fluid software for music creation and performance. Arrangement and Session View, MIDI, mixer, stems, devices, and a local agent — everything you need to sketch ideas and finish tracks.
Highlights
The same selling arcs Live leads with — ideas, sounds, and intuitive workflow — mapped to what Rewire ships today.
Sketch in Session View, commit in Arrangement, reshape MIDI by hand or with the Studio agent — without stopping the music.
Session View lets you mix and match clips in scenes — launch ideas, stop all on Main, keep returns sticky.
Arrangement View organizes music along a timeline. Develop structure, loop sections, and keep the mixer beside you.
The Studio agent composes bass, chords, melody, and arps into real MIDI clips you edit in the piano roll.
Draw, select, slice, fold to scale, humanize, and ride velocity and probability — without leaving Studio.
Host Rewire devices and VST3s, pull stems apart for raw material, build the plugin you wish existed in the Editor, or discover titles on Market.
Insert chains for Rewire devices and scanned VST3s — audition while the transport runs, bounce in place when it lands.
Separate drums, bass, vocals, and more — then reshape layers and send them into Arrangement.
Build what isn’t in the catalog
Rewire Editor is your Max-for-Live-class workbench: visual DSP, UI, real JUCE VST3 — load back onto Studio tracks.
License plugins from independent makers and install into the same Desktop suite as your sessions.
Mixer where the music is, Library on disk, export what you hear — stay in flow between Session and Arrangement.
Levels, mute/solo, sends, and Main stay available without jumping views and breaking flow.
Toggle Arrange / Session — clips, devices, and mixer state stay with the track.
Index local folders, search WAV/MP3/AIFF/FLAC, drag onto Arrangement or Session slots.
Master or per-track render, loop-region export, bounce in place to freeze a chain.

Timeline
Arrangement View is the linear timeline where songs take shape. Place audio and MIDI clips on tracks, set loops and tempo, and keep the mixer beside you while you build structure.
Learn more →Clips & scenes
Session View is a clip grid for sketching and performing. Tracks run as columns, scenes as rows. Fill slots, launch a scene, and keep returns and Main sticky while you explore — without committing every idea to the timeline first.
Learn more →Notes
Open the piano roll on a MIDI clip and reshape notes without leaving Studio. Draw, select, or slice; fold to scale; ride velocity and probability; or let the Studio agent sketch a pass you still own.
Learn more →Levels
The mixer isn't a place you escape to — it's a rail beside Arrangement and a strip under Session columns. Balance, mute, solo, and send without breaking the idea.
Learn more →Plugins
Every track has a device chain. Load Rewire devices and scanned VST3s, open editors, audition while the transport runs, and bounce in place when a sound lands.
Learn more →Separation
Stem sessions turn a source into focused layers inside Studio. Mute, solo, and level each stem, then pull pieces onto arrangement tracks when the idea lands.
Learn more →AI assistant
The Studio agent works on your live session — not plugin source code. Describe a bassline or clip layout; it places material with session tools. You keep every edit.
Learn more →Render
Export the master or individual tracks. Render a loop region, choose WAV or AIFF, set sample rate and bit depth, or bounce inserts in place to audio clips.
Learn more →Samples
Index sample folders on your machine, search across formats, and drag hits onto Arrangement tracks or Session View clip slots. Your library stays local.
Learn more →Capture
Arm lanes, monitor inputs, and record into Arrangement. Takes land in project media so you can edit, stem, or process immediately.
Learn more →Session View
Mix and match clips in scenes — launch ideas, stop all on Main, keep returns sticky. The place to improvise before you commit.
Arrangement
Clip-based timeline for audio and MIDI. Move, loop, and reshape without breaking the groove — mixer beside you.
MIDI
Piano roll ops that stay out of the way — split, join, fill, scale, and generative compose via the Studio agent.
Stems
Stem sessions inside Studio — then pull layers onto arrangement tracks.
Devices
Rewire devices and VST3s on track inserts — including plugins you build in the Editor.
Studio agent
Local agent for arranging and MIDI — place material, then reshape it as yours.
Create, connect and customize
Ableton extends Live with Max for Live and Packs. Rewire extends Studio with the Editor, Market, and your Library.
Ableton’s Max for Live lets you customize Live. Rewire Editor is the parallel path: design DSP graphs, UI, and ship real VST3s you load in Studio.
Ableton Packs extend Live with sounds. Rewire Market is where independent makers ship plugins you license and install into Desktop.
Index sample folders on disk and drag into Session or Arrangement — no proprietary vault required.
