Looking for a tool to find which plugins (AU, VST) were used in specific Live project or Live set?

Is there any way to get a list of loaded plugins in specific live set using Max For Live?

I don't know offhand of such a device, but this is possible. Check out the LiveAPI for "Device". You'd want to use "get class_name" to see if the device is an AU or VST, and then "get class_display_name" for the name of the plugin.

Thank you for your answer. There are two abandoned tools to enumerate plugins used in Live sets:

 (Windows only) and python-based Ableton live project parser: 

 . Unfortunately, both of them are abandoned and both of them use the .als XML text parsing, as far as I can see.

Am I right, that I can use LiveAPI Device only for currently loaded live set? If there is a chance to be able to recursive parse all the live sets in the current project?

JFYI: I was able to create a M4L device with this functionality using Node for Max.

This is a Max for Live device which populates the list of VST/AU plugins and M4L devices which were used in any Ableton Live session.

Usage: load Ableton Live session (als-file) of your choice by dropping it into PlugView window or by clicking on a big file chooser button. The list of VST/AU plugins and M4L devices which were used in this Ableton Live session will be displayed in a grid, sorted and counted. You don’t need to actually open the live set in Ableton Live to populate the plugins list. Just drop any als file from Ableton Live browser or Finder/Explorer into PlugView window.

I'm pretty sure this is the first M4L device which extensively use Node For Max.

PlugView was tested to work in Ableton Live 10/Max 8.0.3 (macOS Mojave/Windows 10). Note, please, Max 8.0.3 (or later) is required to run PlugView.
