Fenophone to Ableton Live

Make a loop in Fenophone, export it, and drag the MIDI into Ableton Live — named clips, the right tempo, the right key, ready to build on.

Make a loop to export The export guide

How the round-trip works

Fenophone sits upstream of Ableton Live: you play and capture an idea, then carry it across as MIDI you can re-voice or stems you can mix — in your key, at your tempo, owned outright.

Importing into Ableton Live

  1. Capture and export in Fenophone

    Capture the loop you like, open export, and confirm your tempo and key. The one-time unlock writes per-voice MIDI and audio stems.

  2. Save the file

    Export is a normal file download — the MIDI is a standard type-1 file with one named track per voice; the stems are WAV or FLAC at 48 kHz / 24-bit.

  3. Import into Ableton Live

    Drop the type-1 MIDI file onto a track and Live lays out one named MIDI clip per voice. The project tempo and 4/4 meter come straight from the file.

  4. Re-voice or mix

    Live imports each automation controller as its own 7-bit lane, so Fenophone exports the timbre and tension lanes in the published 7-bit form for Live — one clean envelope each, no stray lanes.
