If you want a good granular alternative to granulator, try Density. There is a M4L version which I use. I personally prefer it to granulator, it gets much more use and just fits with my expectations of what granular synthesis can achieve. That said it also approaches things quite differently so the ...

Just had my A4 a few days now but I'm really into it so far. Once I get the proper cables I will also sequence my Dark Energy from the CV Outs... Never have used CV so it will be a new experience! One thing I realized pretty quick is that to get a good flow going on the A4 I will need to get to kno...

Are you still using your stock USB cable. I changed mine for a longer one and had lots of problems like this, plus stuck notes and other strange things. Went back to stock cable and have had no problems since.

Elektron stuff is all about the sequencer, I like to use the along Live but not sequenced from. If you only want to sequence from Live I would get first a mono, maybe a slim phatty, a minitaur, maybe even some modular to get more experimental. But you should try Elektron stuff aling Live, it is a l...

I’m after a new analogue based toy, I would really like the option of being able to automate within Ableton, but tinker and tweak an actual piece of hardware. I have Ableton 9 and Push. 2 synths have caught my eye/ear: Moog sub phatty Sounds great, one knob per function - looks inspiring to use, has...

+1 on the M4L drum synths, very good. I have got some excellent results using instances of operator in drum racks. If you group each operator instance within a drum rack (nested group??? I don’t know the term for this) you get an additional set of macros that change as you select different drum pads...

Wow, that was not what I was expecting, in a good way. I liked it.

Interesting to see that you have the same hardware in your studio as mine, and I'm not talking about the music stuff! I'm overrun with baby crap too

so lemur is on sale for 25$. Now that touchable 2 is out anyone have any comparison? Just got an ipad mini and trying to choose between the 2 If you're only going to use the ipad with ableton, touchable 2 is much better than lemur livecontrol 2. Way better. IMHO. I'm not a fan of the lemur template...

This decision just got harder as Alchemy has gone on sale at 50% off. Mmmmmmmmm.

thanks everyone, i downloaded the Massive demo last night - so many presets! Tonight i'm going to try and get the Zebra demo, but its way more than i wanted to spend - i've been spoilt by cheap ios synths

I have Live 9 suite and so far am quite happy with everything it offers, I don’t have any 3rd party plug ins and mainly use Analog and Operator for synth duties – I’m reasonably happy with the results I get. It’s a minor thing, but one thing I dislike is the cramped nature of the interface of these ...

Last thing: i,m using a midi controller to record some automation using Touchable.When i go to the recorded automation i see it,s like a ladder, not very smooth.Even if i,m not using a midi controller and only using the fingers, the automation it,s not very smooth.It,s there a way to improve this? ...

I had this exact problem, it drove me nuts, you're getting parser errors too, right? Here's the fix (Ableton support helped me out here): This error is caused by dropping licensed protected samples onto a Max for Live device (Granulator II, Convolution Reverb). License protected files would be, for ...
