Why are the export features in Ableton so poor? if needing to move one's content to another DAW - say Pro Tools, Nuendo or Cubase - Ableton provides virtually no help at all. For example why can't we do a bulk export of all MIDI tracks or clips? Why no facility to export to one of the universal medi...

Firstly [shelluser] why on earth would I post a dishonest comment? Secondly someone else wrote " I think he's referring to virtual MIDI ports, not physical ones. " Yes thats correct. Cubase and Logic allow a single multitimbral type client plugin like VEP to send MIDI to more than 16 instrument chan...

This is something I wish Ableton would fix once for all. And its been requested in Centrecode. Currently unlike Cubase or Logic etc there seems no way of accessing MIDI ports other than 1. Hence for any VEP instance one must limit instruments in VEP to 16 max so that they all appear on MIDI port 1 a...

Vienna Ensemble Pro is an app that acts as a plugin-host "server". It allows those huge plugins that use massive sample libraries such as orchestras - to be held in RAM all the time and accessed via a CLIENT plugin in the DAW - so that one doesn't have to endure the huge waiting times as a sample li...

Ableton 10 CUE & Metronome question - have the CUE stereo outputs in the MASTER track set to channels 3+4 of my USB interface. But when I do this I can't hear any metronome. The CUE output does seem to work for CUEing tracks though. But just not for metronome? As soon as i return the CUE output set...

If you mean adjustment of notes in order to fit these into a specific scale, that's what the Scale MIDI effect addresses.

very poorly it has to be said.

Add an option for grouped tracks where only ONE clip on any track inside the group can play at any one time. As soon as a clip is launched on any track other than the track where a clip is currently playing the current clip playing is stopped as soon as the launched clip begins to play. This would b...

I support your ideas 100%. ABLETON FOLKS: PAY ATTENTION I might add that a BandInABox or iReal Pro-style Chord-sheet-mode chord progression editor would be useful in addition to a more basic chord time-line approach. The other feature request - this time under the hood that I've already passed on to...

Which product is your suggestion relevant to? Ableton Live Currently the looper type functionality in Ableton is not ideal for live loopers - Yes there is a single track looper effect. But this really could do with being turned into a multi-track looper effect - say with 4 tracks. In addition with t...

There is a hands-free live performance OSX app called ALK by Zen Audio which just impressed me as it allows a performer to easily automate the process of recording and playing back separate instruments and parts in a song in a live performance situation as Elise Trauw does - but in a kludgy way Chec...

Logic currently supports MIDI Effect AU plugins.

On iOS AUM and a few DAWs are starting to support MIDI effect plugins.

Isn't it time Ableton supported them too ?

I've raised a feature request regarding Ableton 10 and the close integration of Max4Live: This should be more doable now that M4L is now tightly integrated into Ableton. It would be very useful if now - whenever MIDI data is received into M4L - that metadata indicating the exact clip and clip note-p...

Wld b cool if Ableton-Link protocol V2.0 can support sharing Key and Chord-type information between linked devices
