Join a session

You don’t need a paid plan to join. You need SameSet installed and the code from the host.

Enter the code

1. 1

   Install SameSet

   If you haven’t yet, follow Install and set up — it takes about three minutes.

2. 2

   Click “Join with code”

   Open SameSet and click Join with code.

Check the project before downloading

SameSet shows the project name, host, size, Live version and plugins:

• Plugins: 7 of 8 installed — the missing plugin is listed by name. The project still opens, but that device will be silent until you install it.
• Project from Live 12.4, you have 12.2 — update Live first, otherwise the set may not open.
• The host hasn’t shared the project yet — keep the window open: the download starts by itself as soon as the host presses ⌘S.

Open the project

1. 1

   Wait for the download

   The project and all its samples download to ~/Music/SameSet/room code/project name.

2. 2

   Click “Open in Live”

   Your current set in Live closes — if it has unsaved changes, Live asks whether to save them.

3. 3

   Start working

   When the panel says Everything in sync, you’re in. Try moving a fader — the host sees it move.

Joining as a viewer

With a viewer code you watch and listen as the track comes together. You get a temporary copy of the project: you can touch anything in it, but your changes are never sent to the room, and the copy is deleted when you leave or the session ends.

Leaving

Full panel → Session → Leave room. The project stays on your Mac in ~/Music/SameSet. If the host ends the session you get a notification, and your copy stays too.
