gary4live
this is deprecated now. i rebuilt the plugin in JUCE so that it can run in every DAW.
gary4juce here. it's free too and much easier to use.
if you just really like max4live devices tho...
gary4live v3.0.0 - pc installer
the max4live device that uses your ableton layers as input audio and does...whatever tf it wants with them.
nothing in this plugin will make a complete song for you. you have to do that yourself.
this is now version 3.0.0 (july 2025)
what's new in 3.0.0:
- jerry: stable-audio-open-small generates 12 seconds of bpm-aware audio instantly. perfect for drum layers and quick iteration. https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-audio-open-small
- terry: melodyflow transforms your input audio, returning audio the same length. transform gary's continuations or your recorded input. this model still hasn't been officially released in the audiocraft repo. https://huggingface.co/spaces/Facebook/Melodyflow
- gary: musicgen still does what he's always done - continues your audio with wild variations that tend to stack up with your ableton layers in dope, surprising ways. https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft
- major UI overhaul with better visual feedback
