This is a work in progress.

Here's how it works:

  1. Use ADSR Sample Manager to auto-tag your sample-libraries
  2. Launch importer.py and select the location of your ADSR Sample Manager Sqlite database
  3. Select a directory from your sample library
  4. Fill in the red fields in the tag translation table to map Sample Manager tags to Ableton Tags (use the | symbol for nested tags).
  5. Press 'sync'. It will now apply the translated tags to your Ableton Live 12 library.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.

Note that it's not required to fill the entire translation table. Tags without a translation will simply not be imported.

Known Issues

  • Only tested on Mac OS currently
  • The GUI needs some work to make useable.
  • The sync is performed on the UI thread, which freezes the application.
  • If you get a blank window, try using the latest Python version from https://www.python.org/downloads/
