Re: What is this sound effect and how is it done?

Sounds like a fast arpeggio setting with a bit of delay, then you roll out a scale very quickly i can get something very similar with this approach. although the patch reminds me of something from a Korg M1 or similar

Thanks lloydforth, that's a good start point. :)

However, I don't have a Korg ...

Transpose a pattern (clip) whilst playing

A friend showed me how to do this in the mixer window by using the midi icon and choosing an octave on the keyboard (c1-c3) , does any one know how to do it in the arrange page ?

Melda dynamic EQ and Sidechain Issue

Hi i'm using the Melda Dynamic Eq in Ableton Live 8.2 and would like to know if anyone has figured out how to route a track to the side chain. I posted the question in the Melda forum on KVR but the developer referred me to here as he didn't have specific Ableton Knowledge.

I'm specifically trying ...

Re: Can you use keyboard to shift a riff (transpose)

Hmmm, i can get it to transpose up but cant seem to get it to transpose down. I'd like to be able to trigger the riff to transpose over 2 octaves. IE an octave either side of the original playing point. The problem i'm getting is the midi map function seems a little temperamental. In that it only ...

Re: Can you use keyboard to shift a riff (transpose)

Just gave this a try but i'm not able to map a range of keys.

i click the Midi map function top right of screen and select the clip i want to meddle with then i hit C3-C4 on my keyboard only for bugger all to happen.

What am i missing?

Can you use keyboard to shift a riff (transpose)

I had a search of the forum and have bashed the manual but i am drawing a blank.

Say i have a clip with a simple midi riff (1/4 bar ) what i would like to do is be able to trigger the riff from the keyboard transposing it as i play differing keys.

Is there a way to do this in Ableton ?
