Somax for Live
As part of the REACH project in the Music Representation team at IRCAM, Somax for Live brings the real-time interactive capabilities of Somax2 directly into Ableton Live.
Developed by Manuel Poletti in collaboration with Marco Fiorini and Gérard Assayag, this new integration bridges advanced symbolic AI improvisation with a widely used digital audio workstation, opening new creative workflows for composers, performers, and producers.
Implemented as a collection of Max for Live devices, Somax for Live allows users to interactively co-create with the system within Live’s native environment, combining the temporal and stylistic modeling of Somax2 with the flexibility of Live’s clips, automations, and control interfaces. This tight coupling between musical intelligence and production tools encourages a fluid dialogue between human and machine musicianship, enabling adaptive accompaniment, generative composition, and exploratory performance practices within an accessible and modular setup.
This presentation will showcase the architecture, interaction paradigms, and artistic use cases of Somax for Live, illustrating how the REACH project advances hybrid human–AI co-creativity in contemporary music-making.
