Open any Ableton session — even one a friend sent you. GRIDWERK reads the .als and shows every native and third-party plugin it uses. Tracks plugin usage across your entire catalog.
Built for the way
Ableton producers work.
Ableton's the instrument. GRIDWERK is the rig you work on between sessions. It reads your User Library, parses your .als files, runs the production tools Live doesn't, and handles the business side of releasing — clearance, splits, distribution. Native to your workflow, not bolted on top.
Six things only
Live users get.
GRIDWERK is built primarily for Ableton + Maschine producers. The deepest integrations live here. The .als parser alone is the kind of thing Live users see and immediately go "wait, you can do that?"
Recently-opened sessions surface automatically. One-click launch. Tempo and key follow your project across the workspace.
Auto-imports your Ableton User Library + Splice folder + Tracklib downloads. Tempo, key, LUFS detected on every drop. Search by sound, not filename.
Move ideas from blank session to release. Status, deadlines, collaborators in one view. Beats kanban for serial producers.
Pull a track apart with Demucs on your CPU. Drums, bass, vocals, other. Routes back into your Ableton sets.
Mastering with editable chain. Multi-format deliverables. Sample clearance, splits, distribution prep — all the post-Ableton work.
