The Next Instrument
ASTRO
Intelligent DAW Assistant
Control Ableton Live with your voice. No shortcuts to memorize, no menus to hunt. Speak naturally — “double the bass and add reverb” — and the DAW responds. ASTRO talks to Ableton through a native connection, not by faking your mouse.
How it works
Speak. Understand. Done.
No wake word to repeat, no rigid syntax. Engage ASTRO, speak your intent, and watch Ableton move.
You speak
Your phone or browser turns speech into text on-device. The audio itself is never recorded or uploaded.
ASTRO understands
Simple commands resolve instantly and locally. For nuanced phrasing, the AI reads the intent and knows Ableton's native devices and exact parameter names.
Ableton responds
ASTRO sends the action through a native local connection to Live — tracks, clips, devices, mixer, transport. No simulated clicks, no lag.
Why ASTRO
Built for the flow.
Privacy by design
Speech-to-text runs on your own device — your audio is never recorded or sent anywhere. Only the typed command text reaches the AI to interpret intent. Full detail in our Privacy Policy.
Native control
ASTRO speaks Ableton's own language through a local connection — addressing real tracks, devices and parameters. It doesn't fake keystrokes, so it never fights you for the mouse.
Contextual AI
Say “make the pad warmer” or “add a four-bar jazz chord”. ASTRO reads intent and knows your session's state — no rigid commands, no learning curve.
