Ableton Forum

An alternate method to assign a loop to a MIDI note would be nice, instead of the 'MIDI learn' style it is now.

I like the 'MIDI learn' style, but it is difficult to program my PC1600X/Live to change loops using a string send of MIDI Note On commands. I use the sliders to change between the loops ...

Well, it looks like they're going to have something kinda like a beta forum...

This site says it's going to list all of the currently identified bugs...

Did you ever consider going with a smaller manufacturer?

Sager sells incredible, powerful laptops and has a great customer service record. If you do decide to buy, I suggest PC Torque be your eTailer of choice for Sager equipment... Adam at PCTorque is brilliant...

be patient...

do you want a useless, buggy beta?
wouldn't you rather wait a few extra hours/days for a stable, usable beta?

the abletons found a few more bugs yesterday and decided to work them out before a beta release...

your graphic design skills are the shiz-nit by the way. iknow because i'jm a graphic designer.

damn. nice.

are you talking about me? if you are, then i thank you very much. it really is just a hobby, though. unless someone out there would like to give me a fulltime job doing it.... anybody ...

No need to be sorry....

Get some damn sleep. I don't want sleepy and cranky programmers working on a product that I'm going to rely on in a live situation!

Rest up and start again fresh...

A day or two more isn't going to kill us. [it might kill you, though...]

Well, I think you may have misunderstood me....

I'm developing Flash-based material that 'listens' to live music and reacts, or in some cases even generates content, to the music...

This isn't a web based product, but visuals that would accompany a live performance in a club...

Thanks. I try...

I'm working on an assload of Flash content that syncs to music as I'm starting to dip into the world of VJ'ing.

Yo Alex!

Is this beta test limited to current owners of Live 1.x, or is it truly a PUBLIC beta?

//bsom

As soon as I get off my ass and finishing something. I have a perpetual case of 'start and don't finish'. Plus, I've been working on alot of programming/graphics projects lately, so music has kind of taken a back seat.

Ah, yes, a knob!

But, it is only a single knob! What does it control?!?

//bsom

OK....that talks about the 'LOOP' section, but I'm talking about the 'WARP' section....

//bsom

{bump!}

Will Live2 be able to assign midi controllers to the "WARP' section of clips? I would very much like to change the BPM, etc. of loops while they are playing with my PC1600X instead of my mouse....

...i'd be happy with midi timecode/midi sync information being sent to the vst effects plugins....

...and the ability to load sounds into memory instead of disk streaming...

other than that, live is pretty much where i want it to be.

good job, guys [and girls]
