Ableton Forum

Just to follow up on this in case any future person finds this post: I found a semi-solution to this. So I couldn't figure out how to use MIDI clips to send the transport info to the Octatrack, BUT I did discover the Resync External hardware button (I had to activate it in Preferences/Link,Tempo&...

Ok, that's good to know it's a known issue. I'll make sure to make a detailed bug report when I find the time. Cheers for the head's up.
I LOVE other devices from the performance pack though

I never did as I only tried using Variations on my absolutely gargantuan DJ template set.

I've been looking for answers to this everywhere and can't find any info. What I'm trying to do is to be able to create midi clips in Ableton Live that can be used to send synced Transport info to the Octatrack MKII. Is this even possible? What I've already set up is for the Octatrack to receive Tra...

Were you rushing or were you dragging?

I'm not the best at keeping up with the latest tools either and I can't remember exactly who put me onto the Euclidean Sequencer Pro.
But I do subscribe to a lot of youtube audio guys, like Ned Rush, Jeremy Blake, and Stranjah etc.

So my first port of call would be to set your second track to Ext In, click on the channel drop down and play something on your keyboard. This should show you which channel to choose as you can see the little meters indicating an audio signal. My next port of call would be to check your Audio Interf...

What Audio Interface are you using?

What is the "Audio From" set to in your second audio track that you want to record into? If you're recording from an external source through an audio interface you'll want to set it to Ext. In and the correct channel. If your second track Audio From is set to "Main" or "Resa...

Unfortunately you're going to have to supply more info I'm afraid. What have you already tried to do to solve the issue? Are you using an audio interface? What are your in/outs? How is your routing set up? Is the audio output setup correctly on your M3? Provide as much info as possible when seeking ...

I can get Variations to work but it's REALLY slow (I have a really large template set). But this is a different matter. One thing I noticed was that the Info View is really useful and got me up to speed with what all the functions of Variations are. Just hover over a button and the Info View panel w...

If you do get a Push and depending on the type of music you want to create, you could maybe also check out Andri Søren's Push PLAYGRND.
He's created something pretty unique there and looks a lot of fun.

No worries. I just thought I'd share as it's been a bit of a mission to try and come to something that is simple enough to not hinder the creative flow, but complicated enough to allow a lot of flexibility. This is actually my second iteration of this template, this time I avoided using sends almost...

I can completely sympathise with how you're feeling. For years I only had Ableton Push to get away from the mouse and keyboard rabbit hole. It completely takes you out of the zone and for me is zero fun. Over the last year I've been building a 2 deck template that allows me to jam ideas and build up...

The comparison was to highlight value for money. Apples and oranges are both fruit that you can eat and they grow on trees. Like your idiom, Ableton Live and all the apps I mentioned are merely different tools that allow us to express our creativity. To put it into perspective, it's been 3 years or ...
