MODIFY ABLETON PROJECT VERSION

Script that modifies the version of an Ableton project. Useful when trying to work with a project in a newer version than yours.

How to run

Run the script directly

You can just:

python ./src/main.py <path_to_als> <ableton_version>

Help information:

usage: main.py [-h] [--xml] als_file ableton_version_to_set

Script to change an Ableton project version

positional arguments:
  als_file              Relative or absolute path to Ableton project '.als' file.It's been tested only with Ableton 10.0.5 and 11.2.11 projects.
  ableton_version_to_set
                        Version of Ableton that you would like the '.als' file to be set.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --xml                 If set, it does not remove the .xml file from the '.als' once created.

Run the GUI

I've created a simple GUI for the same purpose. Run the following:

pip install -r requirements.txt && python src/gui.py

You'll see a new window appear. Very simple to use.

Versions used

• Ableton 11.0.5/Ableton 11.2.11
