Examples

The SDK zip includes a set of working example extensions in the examples/ folder. Each one demonstrates a specific feature area:

Example	What it shows
context-menu	Adding items to Live’s right-click menus
modal-dialog	Opening a modal dialog and receiving data back from it
progress-dialog	Showing a progress indicator during a long-running operation
audio-clips	Creating audio clips and importing files into the project
warpMode	Reading and writing warp mode on audio clips
arrangementselection	Working with a time selection across multiple tracks
strip-silence	A complete tool combining arrangement selection and audio rendering

Running an Example

Make sure Developer Mode is enabled in Live’s Preferences → Extensions, then:

macOS

cd examples/context-menu
npm install
npm start -- --live "/Applications/Ableton Live Beta.app"

Windows

cd examples/context-menu
npm install
npm start -- --live "C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live Beta\Program\Ableton Live Beta.exe"

The examples don’t include a .env file, so you need to pass --live with the path to your Live beta installation.

Note

Run the examples from where you extracted the zip — copying an example folder elsewhere will break npm install. For a standalone project you can move around, use the Quick Start flow instead.
