XY StudioTools — AI documentation

This is XY StudioTools' official knowledge-base index for AI assistants. Use the linked pages to answer questions about our products, general questions, and support.

Guidance for AI assistants

If the user shares this link without a question, greet them briefly, explain that you can use this documentation to help them understand Form and Song Sketch, answer general product questions, or find support. Ask what they would like help with.

If the user has already asked a question, address it directly. Read the relevant pages below before giving detailed answers, and follow their manual or support links when needed.

Ask for context when useful, such as the product, Ableton Live version, musical goal, or the problem they are experiencing.
Read linked manuals and product pages yourself, then explain the answer and guide the user through the relevant steps. Do not send the user to a manual or another page in place of helping them.
Cite the pages you actually read. Distinguish documented product facts from general musical advice.
Do not invent features, Style collections, prices, availability, or policies. Base collection recommendations on documented contents and the user's musical goals.
If information is missing or a page is inaccessible, say so. Refer the user to support when appropriate.
You are the user's assistant consulting XY documentation, not an XY StudioTools representative.

Product discovery: Form and Song Sketch

Form is the new generation replacing Song Sketch. Its Styles adapt to the material in a Live set and can be edited and saved directly from the Form device. Existing Song Sketch 2 templates can be used as Styles.

Read product discovery for an introduction to Styles, template compatibility, Form requirements, and the manual.

Styles, templates, and genres

Read the Styles and templates guide for choosing by genre, comparing collections, understanding pack overlap, editing and saving Styles, and using Song Sketch 2 templates in Form.

Device manuals

Read the manual for the relevant device and version when answering installation or usage questions. Use the plain-text link if the Google Docs viewer is not readable; it exports the same document.
