Microphone Access Record Audio

Our mobile apps require access to your microphone to allow you to record new audio samples within the integrated graphical audio editor. Our apps only access your microphone when you manually initiate a recording session (e.g., by long-pressing the main record button and then pressing the record button in the audio editor).

Privacy and Data Handling:

All audio recordings are processed and stored 100% locally on your device. Our apps do not automatically transmit, share, or upload your audio to any external servers. You may choose to manually share your recordings using the standard Android share functionality; in such cases, data is only transferred to the specific destination you select, and our apps retain no further access to that shared data.

Foreground service with type “mediaPlayback”

Our mobile apps require the foreground service permission with type “mediaPlayback” to keep the audio playback running while the app is in background, if and only if the Stop-Lock feature is activated.

Our mobile apps will never use a foreground service for any other purpose

Android 13.0 and higher – Show notifications

On Android 13.0 and higher, our mobile apps require the notification permission to show a permanent notification while our apps are playing audio in background. Our apps keep playing in background, if and only if the Stop-Lock feature is activated.

Note that the background audio notification is also shown on Android 12.x and lower, where no special permission is required.

Our mobile apps will never show notifications for any other purpose.


Android 12.0 and higher –

Bluetooth Access – Scan and Connect

On Android 12.0 and higher, our mobile apps require the Bluetooth scan permission to be able to discover and pair nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (hereinafter “Bluetooth LE”, “BLE”) MIDI devices. Furthermore, our mobile apps require the Bluetooth connect permission to be able to connect to paired Bluetooth LE MIDI devices.

Our mobile apps do not use the Bluetooth access for any other purpose.

Furthermore, our mobile apps will never use or track the location while scanning for Bluetooth MIDI devices. This is ensured by using the flag android:usesPermissionFlags=”neverForLocation” in the Bluetooth Scan permission declaration.

All MIDI data is processed and exchanged locally between your mobile device and the connected Bluetooth MIDI hardware. This data is never transmitted, shared, or uploaded to any external servers or third parties. Our apps do not collect or store your MIDI performance data off-device.

Internet Access

Our mobile apps require internet access for the use of Ableton Link. Ableton Link is a technology that synchronizes beat, phase and tempo of Ableton Live and Link-enabled apps over a wireless network. In order to access a wireless network, our apps require the internet access permission.
