Help & Contact
Common questions answered below. If you still need help, reach out at the bottom of this page.
What do I need to use Yuma?
You need Ableton Live 10 or later (any edition), a Yuma plan, and macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later or Windows 10 or later. The Mac download works on both Apple Silicon and Intel. The app runs alongside Ableton, with no plugins to install.
How does it connect to Ableton?
Yuma communicates with Ableton Live over a local connection on your machine. Nothing is sent to external servers — your session data stays entirely on your computer.
How does billing work?
Yuma uses a credit-based system. The Beta plan is a one-time purchase with credits that never expire, and monthly plans add a fresh pool of credits each month. Credits cover AI chat, MIDI, and audio generation. No external API keys needed.
Is the Beta plan a subscription?
No. The Beta plan is a one-time purchase, and you will never be auto-charged. Monthly plans renew each month and can be cancelled anytime from your dashboard via Manage Billing; you keep access through the period you have paid for.
What can it actually do in Ableton?
Create and manage tracks, build drum patterns, write chord progressions and melodies, add effects and sends, control automation, adjust BPM and time signatures, and more — all from natural language.
Does it work with any Ableton project?
Yes. You can use it on new or existing projects. It reads your current session state and makes changes based on your instructions.
What is the refund policy?
All sales are final. Due to the nature of digital products, we do not offer refunds or exchanges after purchase.
Is my music data stored or uploaded anywhere?
No. All Ableton session data stays on your local machine. We never upload, store, or access your audio files or project data.
Does it work with third-party plugins?
Yes — Yuma can control any third-party plugin whose macro parameters are mapped to an Ableton Rack. It can also load plugins onto tracks and adjust basic parameters. We have some exciting things coming soon for deeper plugin integration.
