What is SoundStage for Ableton?
SoundStage runs inside Ableton Live, not in the browser. You install the .ablx extension from its GitHub releases, restart Live, then right-click a track and choose Generate music with FXI.
Sign-in uses a secure browser handoff (PKCE) to your FXI Studio account; the session is kept in your operating system’s keychain, never in files or your Live set, and you can revoke it from your account. The extension is free; generations draw on your FXI credit balance.
