Web Tunnels

For remote access to Producer Pal from the Internet, you'll need a tunneling service.

Security Warning

Producer Pal has no authentication. Anyone with your tunnel URL can control Ableton Live. Keep the URL secret and only share with trusted collaborators. If someone discovers it, restart your tunnel to get a new URL.

Local Networks

For studios, classrooms, or performances on a local network, you don't need a tunnel. Customize the port number in the Producer Pal device settings (default: 3350) to prevent unauthorized access from other devices on the same network. Update the :3350 in your AI connection settings if you change it in the Producer Pal Max for Live device.
