Control your Ableton Live set from the stage.
Build your show in Ableton Arrangement View, then control the set from a phone, tablet or computer. Jump between songs and sections, loop parts and keep the performance interface where you need it.
No plugin required. No changes to your original Ableton project.
Keep the show you already built in Ableton.
Markerlist is designed for artists and live crews who use Arrangement View as the timeline for their show. Your songs, sections and locators stay in Ableton; Markerlist provides the external control layer.

Ableton Live set controller — FAQ
What is an Ableton Live set controller?
It is an interface used to operate an Ableton Live set during a performance without requiring the performer to stay at the main computer. Markerlist is specifically designed around live sets built in Arrangement View.
Can I control my Ableton set from an iPad or phone?
Yes. Markerlist runs its control interface in a browser, so an iPad, phone or computer can be used as a control device on the local network.
Does Markerlist replace Ableton Live?
No. Ableton Live remains the host and playback environment. Markerlist provides an external control interface for the live set.
Does Markerlist modify my Ableton project?
No. Markerlist operates externally and does not write changes into the original project.
Do I need a plugin or Max for Live?
No. Markerlist is not a Max for Live device and does not require a Markerlist plugin to be loaded into the project.
How many devices can I use?
The plan determines the number of devices. One device corresponds to one opened browser window.
Your Ableton set. Your stage. Your controls.
