moon.hands.core

A Gantt-like sequencer that lives inside Ableton Live.

moon.hands.core is a Max for Live device that streamlines automated event sequences within Ableton Live. Using a Gantt-like timeline, you build Events as blocks to construct and conceptualise complex musical forms — looping, scene triggering, and whole-arrangement playback, all from one interface.

What it does

Advanced looper — schedule events to start and stop recording or playback
Elastic scenes — trigger any group of clips without creating new Ableton scenes
Compositional tool — recall presets and generate fresh forms from a set of clips
Live performance — automate backing tracks and focus on playing
JSON preset system with unlimited storage across projects
Syncs track names, colours, and order live from your Live Set

Requirements
Ableton Live 11 or newer · Max for Live (included with Live Suite)

paid beta · v0.1

moon.hands.osc

Fire OSC cues from a visual timeline — in sync with your music.

Try me

moon.hands.osc fires cues from a visual timeline to your DAW, lighting software, or any OSC-compatible app. You place blocks on a timeline; each fires a cue when the playhead reaches it, with sample-accurate timing driven by a dedicated audio-thread clock. A standalone desktop app — no Ableton required.

What it does

Block-based timeline with sample-accurate cue firing
ON / OFF triggers per block, with custom OSC messages and template variables
Message catalog with ready-made addresses you can insert
Looping layouts, jump-on-next-bar, and a metronome on the audio clock
Ableton Link tempo sync (experimental in this beta)
Remote control via a bridge dashboard and UDP input

Requirements
macOS or Windows desktop · a DAW or app that can receive OSC / UDP

Paid beta — early access, regular updates.

paid beta · v0.9

moon.hands.prime

Timeline automation for live events — OSC, MIDI & HTTP in one platform.

Try me

moon.hands.prime fires cues from a visual timeline to your DAW, lighting rig, video software, stream setup, or any OSC / MIDI / HTTP-capable app — in sync with your music or your show clock. Each block runs its own internal timeline of plugins and actions, with sub-millisecond scheduling. The professional evolution of the moon.hands.osc line, fully operable from the keyboard.

What it does

OSC + MIDI + HTTP — drive almost any show-control target
Nested block timelines — a block contains its own plugins and sub-actions
Plugin system: OSC, MIDI, HTTP, Audio, Text, and a sandboxed Code plugin
Catch-up strategies (burst / compressed / skip) for long or 24/7 shows
Safe seeking — jumps never replay skipped cues or double-fire
Starter templates: DAW Companion, Theater Cue Stack, Installation Loop, Stream Deck

Requirements
macOS or Windows desktop · software that can receive OSC, MIDI, or HTTP

Paid beta — early access, regular updates.
