Noir Labs Shortcut Buddy v3.02 (WiN + MacOSX) for Ableton Live AMDX (Update)

Noir Labs Shortcut Buddy v3.02 is a workflow utility for Ableton Live users who want faster access to their regular plugins and effect racks. It lets you assign up to 64 items to keyboard commands or MIDI mappings, so you can load familiar tools without repeatedly searching through your collection.

Supported files include VST presets, AU presets, and Ableton’s .adg, .adv and .amxd formats. This makes it useful for hobby producers who rely on a recurring set of instruments, processing chains or Live devices while writing and arranging. Save Shortcut Buddy as part of your default template to keep your launch assignments available when starting a session. Its low CPU usage also helps keep the focus on your music rather than the utility itself.

Version 3.02 addresses two practical issues: keyboard commands failing to launch plugins after reopening a saved project or template, and plugins opening twice when the open button was clicked. For producers working in Ableton Live on Windows, it offers a straightforward way to reduce repetitive browsing.
