Hi! I think it'd be a nice addition if we could add names to empty clip slots (either if they have a stop button or not).

This could be used for adding user notes/markers to the session view and help with the navigation in large sets.

Why recording from the main track introduces latency whereas recording using 'Resampling' has no latency?

I'm testing this with Live 12.1.1:
1. Drop a simple drum loop to an audio track in the arrangement.
2. Arm one track taking input from the previous drum loop track Post-fader.
3. Arm another ...

Hi!
I think showing the info view under the browser while in full-height would save more screen space. It would also appear/disappear more gracefully when being shown/hidden.
As an alternative it'd be nice to have an option or make it draggable so it can be moved between the clip/device view to the ...

I'm developing this MIDI script in Python to use the Yamaha Reface CP as a Live control surface:
https://github.com/yannxou/RefaceCPLiveControl

I was looking now to add some note repeating there too. It seems that the note_repeat type only has a repeat_rate property but I thought it'd be great to ...

I wrote a script to support the Yamaha Reface CP as a control surface in Live.

I own that keyboard for a few years already and since it's easy to carry around I thought it'd be very nice to use it as a casual controller too.
Hope you like it!

Any hope for improvements in LiveAPI for the upcoming 9.1?

You could start transport with an API call and afterwards trigger the clips sequentially.
Then all clips will start in sync at the next quantization point.

That would be a workaround but then clips would be recorded with a 1-bar offset (or the quantization setting) in relation to the other clips ...

workaround would be to not stop the transport, but stop the clips instead.

then when you need to trigger the clips you trigger them sequentially, then set the transport to the beginning and you'll have the sync.

mmh, thanks for your idea but cannot use in my case because I want to trigger the ...

Is there a way to fire multiple clips at the same time using Javascript with the LiveAPI?

I've tried firing some clips inside a 'for' iterator but sometimes they fire separately. For example, the following code:
var api = new LiveAPI();
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
api.path = "live_set tracks ...

In response to this post title... don't worry about dubstep, here's the next level:

I totally agree that Lion's fullscreen mode sucks.. If you have multiple monitors probably you've noticed that the second monitor is totally useless while in fullscreen...
I hope Ableton stays with the old fullscreen mode until Apple resolves some concept issues there...

Here are some features I'd like to see in future versions regarding clip management:

1. Option to Consolidate clips from the Session View (via right-click menu).

2. Option to export (render) multiple clips at once (via the File->Export menu or right-click menu)

3. Support for drag&drop clips to a ...

Should I change the post title to 'scrub to absolute song position using LiveAPI'?

What do you mean with the transport controls?

According the Live Object Model there's no function like this:
http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/m4l-ref/m4l_live_object_model.html

I mean something like:
live_set.song.scrub_to(absolute_position_in_beats)
or
live_set.song.scrub_to(absolute ...

It would be great to have a 'scrub_to' function in the LiveAPI.

Right now the 'live_set' only has a 'scrub_by' function which takes a time relative to the current position. I miss a function like 'scrub_to' that allows to jump to an absolute song position while playing without losing the tempo ...
