Ableton Live Object Model (LOM) API Reference

This skill provides comprehensive documentation for the Ableton Live Python API used in Remote Scripts. The API is accessed through the _Framework.ControlSurface base class and provides programmatic control over every aspect of a Live Set.

Quick Start

from _Framework.ControlSurface import ControlSurface

class MyScript(ControlSurface):
    def __init__(self, c_instance):
        ControlSurface.__init__(self, c_instance)
        self._song = self.song()  # Access the Live Set (Song object)
        app = self.application()  # Access the Application object
