FAQ

Frequently asked

What do I need to run A1R?

Ableton Live 11 or newer on Windows or macOS. A1R installs as a Control Surface plus a small standalone server. You control it from any browser — on the same PC, or a phone/tablet on the same Wi-Fi.

Is it a subscription?

No. A1R is a one-time payment. You own your tier forever, including offline use.

Do I need internet to use it live?

Only once, to activate your license (Core needs no key at all). After that A1R runs completely offline — safe for gigs with no Wi-Fi.

Can I move it to another computer?

Yes. Each paid tier includes multiple PC activations, and you can deactivate a device to free a slot when you switch machines. Need longer update access? You can extend it from your account page.

How do I control it from my phone?

Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi as your Ableton PC and open the A1R address in any browser. No app to install.

How does payment work?

Checkout is secure via Lemon Squeezy. After payment you get your download (Core) or a license key by email — enter it once in A1R to activate.
