How show control works

A local bridge between Ableton Live and your stage devices.

01

Prepare Ableton Live

Place the F&R Live Bridge Max for Live device on a track in your Ableton Live project, then open the project on the host computer.

02

Start the bridge

Launch the F&R Live desktop app and wait for its local connection to Ableton. Use “Open control” on the host, or open the displayed network address on a device connected to the same local network.

03

Pair your remote

Enter the pairing code shown by the remote and approve its six-digit request in the desktop bridge window. Up to two remote devices can be paired at once.

04

Navigate the show

Use the remote interface to move through the setlist and song markers and access supported transport and volume controls. The host remains responsible for Ableton and audio.
