Setup
Describe and verify the rig
Maeztro reconciles what you describe with detected ports and signed data-only profiles. Onboarding reviews the rig without changing the Live Set.
- Rig Profile
- MIDI Learn
- Soundcheck
A conversation for your whole MIDI workflow
Describe the musical move. Keep control of the session.
Maeztro is a macOS companion for the workflow from rig setup to arrangement versions. One local project conversation routes safe session work, rehearsed Live control, jam markers, and source-preserving arrangement drafts.
Apple Silicon private beta. Standard MIDI first; deeper Ableton integration included.

The workflow Maeztro was designed for
One conversation, from setup to arrangement.
Setup → Create Session → Record Jam → Prepare Arrangement Versions remains the workflow Maeztro was designed around. The refactored interface does not force those jobs into tabs or a rigid order; it routes each request to a bounded capability.
Create session
Turn intent into a review
Ask for a session move in the conversation. Typed Studio plans and the Composition Compiler expose the tools, targets, and capability limits before confirmation.
- Typed plan
- Music theory
- Safe preview
Record jam
Log the musical moments
Your existing mixer, looper, or recorder keeps the audio. Maeztro logs markers, commands, bars, and state snapshots while Live control can remain armed.
- Performance Log
- Live cues
- No audio stored
Arrange
Prepare versions, preserve sources
Arrangement Assistant uses explicit markers and take choices to draft locators or build versions on duplicated tracks. Original Session clips stay untouched.
- Explicit takes
- Rollback
- Source preserved
Built for real MIDI rigs
The planner can propose. The runtime cannot improvise with your devices.
Model output never controls Ableton or MIDI directly. Plans cross typed contracts, device capabilities, confirmation rules, and Live Pack readiness before execution.
01
You choose the clock. Timed work stops if the selected MIDI or DAW clock is missing or unstable.
02
Manual touch wins. Moving the mapped hardware control cancels its active automation.
03
Control stays bounded. Only approved ports, channels, commands, and verified device capabilities enter a Live Pack.
04
Emergency stop stays physical. A keyboard or pedal binding can cancel automation immediately.
Your provider—or none
Use intelligence in preparation, never as the live control authority.
Start with deterministic tools and a safe planning template. Add local Qwen 3 through Ollama, or your own OpenAI key for broader Studio planning. Known commands always bypass both models.
One clear license
Buy the instrument. Bring the intelligence you trust.
No required subscription and no AI markup. The public v1 license covers one person, two personal Macs, and all v1.x updates.

Before soundcheck
Questions worth answering clearly.
Does Maeztro need an internet connection to control my gear?
No. Approved mappings resolve locally. Provider calls, licensing checks, and the network stay outside the real-time MIDI control path.
Do I need an OpenAI account?
No. Known commands, music theory, Live control, Performance Log, and the conservative planning fallback work without a cloud provider. Local Qwen 3 through Ollama and your own OpenAI key are optional Studio planners.
Does it generate music for me?
Maeztro can compile a musical request into reviewable notes, voicings, rhythms, and bounded patch intentions. You confirm what enters the session, and unsupported device capabilities remain explicit instead of being guessed.
Does it work only with Ableton Live?
No. Maeztro targets standard MIDI hardware and software. Ableton is the deepest first-party beta integration, while synths, drum machines, effects, controllers, and other DAWs connect through MIDI mappings.
