Suno Bridge (beta) brings Suno into Ableton Live 12 on Mac

Suno released Suno Bridge in beta, a standalone Mac app that runs next to Ableton Live 12 and generates instrument and vocal parts that land on your timeline in sync with the session.

Bridge is a separate app, not a plugin, so both it and Live need to be open. Open your Live session, open Bridge, and upload the project when it asks. That sends the Live project and its audio files to your Suno account so Bridge knows the tempo, key, harmony and groove it's writing into. Only the project you choose is uploaded.

Then set a loop in Arrangement View. The loop markers are the window Bridge generates for, so looping bars 9 to 16 asks for an eight-bar part starting on beat one of bar 9. Pick an instrument type in Bridge and describe the sound, and the clips drop onto the timeline without any dragging or lining up. In Suno's demo, a prompt for gritty 80s polysynth chords on bars 11 to 14 of a 131 bpm session comes back as a new keyboard clip in the arrangement.

Bridge is included with Premier subscriptions, and generating uses Suno credits the way Studio does. The app itself is a free download. It's Mac only for now and works with Ableton Live 12. Suno says more operating systems and DAWs are planned, without naming any.

Bridge generations don't show up in your Suno library. You'll find them under Downloads in the app. Uploaded audio goes through Suno's copyright filters, and flagged files aren't ingested.
