Ableton Web Control
Ableton Web Control lets you control your instance or instances of Ableton using your browser.
Prerequisites
To use this library, you'll need to install and activate the MIDI Remote Script in
Ableton.js. To do that, copy the midi-script folder of
ableton-js to Ableton's

for better identification. The MIDI Remote Scripts folder is usually located at:
- Windows: {path to Ableton}\Resources\MIDI\Remote Scripts
- macOS: /Applications/Ableton Live {version}/Contents/App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts

To use the server, you need to have Node.js installed on your system.
Starting the Server
Run npx ableton-web-control and the web server should start. You can now access the
web app from any device using your computer's IP address.
