Looking to take the heart rate data from the charge 2 and send it to Ableton to control the BPM of this Digital Audio Workstation, is this possible via SDK. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated 🙂

The SDK only works with the Ionic at the moment.  With that said, you could write a simple app for the Ionic which would send a message to the phone with the heart rate, and then the app could pass that data along to a web API of some sort which would then work it's way back to the Ableton somehow.  There's a lot of gaps to fill, and it's not going to be 100% reliable as the messaging API seems to be pretty flaky at the moment, but it's certainly possible.
