Advanced Toolbar Buttons enhances Ableton Live by providing an adaptable button bar with a transparent background that can be positioned anywhere on the screen. This tool enables users to customize button configurations, streamlining workflow and improving accessibility to various functions within the software. The interface is designed to blend seamlessly with Live’s color themes and supports multi-monitor setups, ensuring it fits perfectly into any studio environment.

This VST offers practical control over clip parameters such as volume, transposition, and groove selection without the need to open the clip detail view. It introduces a new mode for capturing and inserting scenes, along with global track activation and deactivation. Users can move loop markers in the arrangement more efficiently, automate the reset of overwritten automation during transport changes, and manage track visibility by automatically unfolding the selected track while folding others.

Additional features include assigning track colors to clips across the project, controlling volume, pan, and send settings for the selected track, and duplicating session view clips with ease. Users can switch between different Live color themes without accessing preferences and gain one-button access to actions usually hidden in context menus. The plugin supports preset creation with customizable layouts accessible via key mapping, and button sizes can be adjusted to suit any screen resolution, all without interfering with Live’s undo history.
