Hey guys! I'm working on a MIDI controller using Max/MSP and Arduino right now. I want to be able to send potentiometer values at high resolution, so I know I should be using the Absolute14Bit setting. Here's the problem: I can make 14-bit messages work when I map specific parameters (cmd-m) but I c...

I have a Korg padKontrol and it has a toggle mode, both for Notes and CCs. Hit it once, 127. Hit it again, 0. That should do what you want right out of the box.

Dunno if you want to cash out for more gear, though. Just another option.

I feel like my ideas are getting stale because I'm using a lot of the same, boring waveforms that came in Live's sample library. I think the thing that would help the most is just a bunch of One shot samples, probably of drums. Any recommendations? I've been looking at Drum Crate at Track team audio...

+1. I'm really angry about paying hundreds of dollars to upgrade. What I really want? For Cycling74 to finish Pluggo for Max 5. I know Max for Live will be really awesome, but I already own Live 7 AND Max, and I don't want to pay all this money for stuff I already have. It makes it even worse when A...

Look at Bomes MIDI Translator and AutoIt (or AutoHotKey).

Here's what you make it do:

When you push a button, Bomes will convert it to a weird keystroke. Then AutoIt will understand the keystroke and run "something.als"

My favorite way to do this is with a MIDI feedback loop (MIDI yoke) and a MIDI track in Ableton. Set up a midi rack in said track, and have two chains - one empty and one with a notelength plugin on it. (Set it to OFF). Tell the track to send midi to "Midi Yoke 1" or something. Then have L...

I love the first 8 function keys! They are very helpful for quickly turning stuff on and off and don't require a preset key to use. What if you could also ARM RECORD and CUE using a modifier (shift, ctrl, alt) and the function keys! I think it would be a great feature, and not too hard to implement,...

Sorry for the vague request and thanks for the reply! I'm referring to the "Lock to Control Surface 1/2/3/..." commands. When you set up a control surface and click on a device, a hand shows up on it to show you are controlling it. But if you right click and choose "Lock to..." f...

Now that I actually have one of these, I REALLY miss this. I remember seeing it in Live 6. Why did it have to go??!?

Please!!! It could work just like drum racks (and regular racks). It would be so beautiful, Ableton, inc. Please!

No, it will work just fine.

Select the notes you want to copy.

Ctrl + C

Ctrl + V

The notes end up right on top of the old ones. Click on one and drag it to a new place. The others will follow.

Has anyone tried this? My bandmate cashed out $100 for it and I'm worried that he wasted his money. Tons of clicks (little 1-sample glitches) are happening all over the place. It seems to be when he starts to play, and when he stops. (We're using the VST to pitch-shift a tuba. Slow attacks and slow ...

Wow, a lot of replies! Thanks guys! Please don't hate me if I heard the album for the first time after so many years. I was about 5 at the time, OK? :evil: As for the "IDM" genre, I agree - it's very pretentious. However, I really like the music that people categorize as "intelligent&...
