Use when the user wants an existing song rebuilt, covered or reinterpreted in Ableton Live — analysis feeding a Live build, end to end. For analysis alone use song-analysis; for a take the user played, bass-transcribe. To keep the original vocal or stems (a remix or a sketch), ableton-song-remix.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Song → Ableton (end-to-end orchestrator)
```
existing audio ──▶ A. ANALYSIS ──▶ C. HANDOFF ──▶ B. ABLETON (MCP)
stems · bars/BPM/key · chords bars + chords + build/reinterpret:
· bass MIDI · lyrics · drum read drum logic tempo · clips · MIDI
· devices · scenes · mix
```
**ASK FIRST:** "Do you want song analysis, Ableton building, or both?" Then route only
to what's needed.
> **GOLDEN RULE: reason in BARS, never seconds.** Every length and position is a bar
> count (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32…). Convert any "first 16 seconds" to bars and stay in bars.
## Routing
| Need | Skill |
|---|---|
| Analyze the recording (tempo/bars, stems, chords, lyrics, drum read, chart) | `song-analysis` |
| Drive Live — tracks, clips, notes, devices, mixing; connection issues | `ableton-mcp` |
| Arrangement craft — sections, bass/drum patterns, FX chains, dynamics | `ableton-arrangement` |
| The user plays bass (or another mono instrument) and wants it as MIDI | `bass-transcribe` |

How to install
mdr add peripan/music-workflow-skills/song-to-ableton@sha256:b6be54533b8e5f1dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.076b85e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
