Overview
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.
Create in a traditional linear arrangement, or improvise without the constraints of a timeline in Session View. Move freely between musical elements — without stopping the music and without breaking your flow.
Create with Studio
Everything you need to seize an idea — Session for speed, Arrangement for structure, recording and stems when the source is audio.
In Session View you freely mix and match ideas without timeline constraints. Getting ideas down is fast — the ideal place to improvise with clips and scenes.
Arrangement View is where you organize music along a timeline. Find the best parts, shape the form, and keep producing with the mixer in reach.
Record audio takes into Arrangement, drop samples from the Library, or ask the Studio agent to place MIDI you still rewrite by hand.
Stem sessions pull a source into drums, bass, vocals, and other — raw materials you send back into the song.
Perform with Studio
Launch scenes, control the mix, and host devices while the music keeps moving — the same flexibility Live users expect on stage or in the studio.
Launch scenes, stop all clips on Main, ride sends to returns, and keep devices on the chain while the transport runs.
Mute, solo, and reshape clips live. Open a MIDI clip into the piano roll mid-session without tearing down the grid.
Stack Rewire devices and VST3s — including plugins you built in the Editor — for performance-ready chains.
Sounds & devices
Host devices, pull stems apart, build plugins in the Editor, or license titles on Market — sound design isn’t locked to a factory pack list.
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.
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.
Create, connect and customize
Ableton extends Live with Max for Live and Packs. Rewire extends Studio with the Editor, Market, and your own sample 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.
Highlights
The same three selling arcs Live leads with — ideas, sounds, and intuitive workflow — mapped to Rewire.
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.
