ChatGPT Web App
Use Producer Pal in your web browser with OpenAI's chat web app.
Requirements
Ableton Live 12.3+ with Max for Live. Live 12.4 or later is recommended — some features don't work on older versions of Live. Use the version of Max bundled with Live, or make sure your standalone Max is up to date.
ChatGPT account (at the time of writing, a paid subscription is required to access the advanced settings needed for this to work)
Web tunnel (e.g. Cloudflare or Pinggy)
Installation Steps
1. Install the Max for Live Device
Download Producer_Pal.amxd, the Producer Pal Max for Live device, and add it to a MIDI track in Ableton Live:
It should display "Producer Pal Running" or something isn't working.
2. Set Up a Web Tunnel
Set up a web tunnel to expose your local Producer Pal server.
For example:
cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:3350will give you a public URL such as https://abc-xyz.trycloudflare.com:
3. Enable Developer Mode
Go to ChatGPT → Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced and enable Developer Mode (this option might not appear for free accounts):
4. Create Custom Connector
In the Apps & Connectors settings, create a custom connector:
- URL: Your tunnel URL +
/mcp(e.g.,https://abc-xyz.trycloudflare.com/mcp) - No authentication
- Trust the app
5. Enable Tools in Conversation
Explicitly enable the Producer Pal tools for each conversation where you want to use them:
6. Start Using Producer Pal
Start a new chat with "connect to ableton with your producer pal tools" (note that ChatGPT tends to need more nudging than "connect to ableton"):
