    Why is this one not buy-once? Every progression is generated live by an AI model we pay for per request, so unlike our plugins CRUX has a real running cost. It's the only subscription we sell, and you can cancel anytime.

    Questions,answered.

    CRUX Chords

    What do I type?

    Anything you'd tell a keyboard player: key, mood, genre, tempo, instrument. For example, "a chord progression in F minor that works well with a trap type beat at 140 BPM".

    Is it audio or MIDI?

    MIDI. The chords land as notes, so they play through whatever instrument is on the track and you can edit them like any clip.

    Why a subscription?

    Every progression is generated live by an AI model we pay for per request. It's the only subscription we sell. Cancel anytime and access runs to the end of the period you paid for.

    Compatibility

    What do I need?

    Ableton Live 11 or later with Max for Live, on Mac or Windows.

    Does it work outside Ableton?

    No. It's a Max for Live device, so it runs inside Ableton Live only.
