Dear Ableton,

Please can you adjust your next version of Live so you can have seperate controll of Swing amount and also Velocity. At present you can only controll the two at the same time which is a bit limited. Also can you incude a feature which allows you to do on the fly editing to swing ...

Im sure Max for live could provide something that i need but these days i spend to much time pissing around with M4L rather than writing tunes!!!


Found a solution for now,

Using a synth with allows you to set the pitch an osc via freq such as NI Massive, I have wipped up a little M4L patch ...

I know you're asking for live control, but just wanted to throw it out there that FM8 lets you link envelopes to DAW tempo, so you could design a riser that goes for exactly 2 or 4 or 8 bars, for example, no matter what track you're playing. It's not the simplest synth out there, but it's certainly ...

Cheers for the reply Chris,

I did think off that but the problem is that you are limited to only 2 octives or somerthing like that,

Im wantin to do rizers that range from 0 htz all the way to 20K !!! (sort of thing),

Any other suggestions?

Yo yo,

Does any body out there know of a decent simple synth where i can assign a few midi CCs to variouse knobs and creat my own on the fly rising effects?

The problem with most synths i.e. operator is that when you adjust the transpose the piitch rises in semitones rather than a smooth glide ...

The weird thig is, I wrote a tune once and for some reason was able to do what the documention said, but when i opened the tune up again same problem occured?

Can anybody from ableton comment on this please?

doing me nut in!!!

In the live manual it syas that if you have a drum rack, with a sample (simpler) and then midi effects upstream of the sample and then audio effects down stream, when you drop a new sample to the relevant pad it only replaces the sample and the midi and audio effects are left intact?

When im ...

and viser versa,

I have have figured out how to call the notes from a clip using observer but how do i get the appropriate information to populate a live.grid or live.step and vise versa?

there is a cool Max for Live patch called Clipstates. look for it on the maxforlive.com. it solves everything!

is there a way to increase the number of macros and possible have a macro that controlls sube macros?

Maybe, but would more Impulses mean more CPU, and also, wouldnt the userbilty be affected because you are hving to switch between chains etc rather than working off the one impulse? thanks for reply tho

It seems unless im missing something,

You spend ages mapping your perfect custom midi mappings to a live device preset and then save it but if you then drag that device back into a new set the midi mappings are gone meaning you have to re map everything!!

Am i doing something wrong here? is there ...

My first of probaly many ableton posts,,,,,,

Does anybody know if there is a way to assigin the outputs of impules to individua outputs to chains in a rack (say instrument rack) instead of OR as well as assiging them to mutiple Audio tracks?

If I was able to do this then i can not only keep things ...

I agree that this would be a great feature. It would simplify the per-drum-slot effect routing that basically everyone *wants* without having to create a bunch of audio tracks.

Here is my workaround:

1. Chain 1: Your basic impulse setup.
2. Chain 2: A copy of your basic impulse setup + effect.
3 ...
