Ableton Note

Ableton Note is a mobile music sketchpad for beats, MIDI, and recorded samples, with project transfer to Live.

Our take

A strong fit if you already finish tracks in Ableton Live and want to capture ideas away from the computer.

Sets can transfer through Ableton Cloud while retaining MIDI notes and samples as described by Ableton.

Keep in mind: The mobile Session View has track and scene limits; use Live for a larger arrangement.

What you can do

  • Sequence a beat or melody from pads or the MIDI editor
  • Record and shape samples or audio clips
  • Send a Set to Live or export audio

Good for

  • Ableton users who sketch on their phone or tablet

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone who needs a complete desktop production workflow on a phone

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • The mobile Session View has track and scene limits; use Live for a larger arrangement.

Privacy & permissions

Sampling can use the microphone. Sending a Set through Ableton Cloud uploads the project.
