# Live Jev

**Control Ableton Live with one short sentence.**

Press **⌘⇧Space** while you work in Live and a small bar appears on top of it. Type (or dictate) something like “turn it down 3 dB”, “Serum 2 on a new track”, or “quantize to 1/16”, then hit Enter. The bar disappears instantly, Live stays in front, and the change is applied. The bar only comes back when it needs to ask you something.

English and Japanese are both supported, with many ways to say the same thing.

> **Status: app 1.02, Remote Script 0.18.** Live Jev is distributed as source, and this repository does not plan a packaged release.

## What it can do
- **Mixer** — volume, pan, mute, solo, arm, monitoring, sends (“mute”, “down by 3 dB”, “pan left 20”, “send A up a bit”). Return tracks can be addressed by letter or number and support volume, pan, mute, and solo. Master supports volume. Master cannot be muted, soloed, armed, or renamed. Returns cannot be armed. If you don’t name a target, Live Jev acts on the selected track.
- **Transport** — play, stop, record, loop, metronome, tempo, jump to bar, Live Jev undo, capture MIDI.
- **Clips and scenes** — launch and stop, loop, warp, pitch, gain.
- **Notes** — quantize (1/4 to 1/32, triplets, strength), legato, transpose by octaves or semitones, velocity, double the loop.
- **Devices** — insert plug-ins and Live’s own devices (“new track with Omnisphere”, “add EQ Eight”, “put Valhalla on the master”, “add Echo to return A”), turn devices on and off, and change parameters. Devices on returns addressed by letter or number, and devices on Master, are targets too. Instruments cannot be inserted on a return or Master. Candidates come from *your* Live browser. New tracks land where Live would put them and get Live’s default names.
- **Tracks** — add MIDI, aud
