thanks! Actually it's www.similarmusic.com (since that webspace will change soon)
there's some little vids here http://www.users.on.net/~edan/cosmos/

I'm also working on a new interface using this amazing keyboard www.fingerworks.com it RULES

howdy, I'm playing live wednesday at 9.30 at Loop in Melbournes CBD. We've made an AudioPad'est interface to live, so the gig is a little different :)
here's the flyer

and here's a few screenshots of the interface and mp3 snippets

ah melbourne people. I played at Loop in the cbd with live and a weird tactile interface we made like the AudioPad. I'm playing with it again on 11th August. Where do you guys play?

I can understand why they don't, but a simple tooltip when you mouse-over clips to reveal their name would be a good stop-gap measure

thirded. I use a wacky custom interface to ableton so I could really use multiple assignments. Plus a way to unassign something (shock! right-mouse button?? or is there a quick way now?

how about using insert/backspace to nudge? that combined with cursor control of the position is so powerful and quick. I use it constantly in oldschool trackers and pianoroll would benifit greatly

try it in my flash mockup for another program

yeah the logic one is probably the best. But a combo of logic/some functions in fruity and tracktion would make a good pianoroll
I think the scrub line thing in fruity is really important for me (previewing chords etc without playing)

howdy, you know the next/previous scene assignable buttons? is there anyway to get that functionality for individual tracks? ie as if you were clicking down the list in a track with your mouse, but from midi.
You see a friend and I have made a custom tactile interface much like the Audiopad. Now I ...

yeah I'm really interested in the pianoroll. So much so I did a flash mockup for another program! (www.ioneo.com).

it's flash 7 I think

All current pianorolls are pretty weak afaik so I'm hoping ableton can breath some live into them.
One vital ...

I agree with the Monkeys audio idea, as it's lossless and usually at least halves the size of wavs. Plus it's well supported with winamp plugs etc

1. What advanced pianoroll editting features can we expect?
2. Is there a scrub/preview tool for midi (and audio) clips?
Check my flash mockup for details on what I'm talking about here http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8221

forge: no, ghost clips are totally seperate to each other, so you could have a block up the end of the song that's a 'ghost' of another block at the start... the 'real' one. You can edit either and both will change. ie for beats you can lay out a whole song and decide you want to change it slightly ...

hi, here's a mockup I did for a few idea's for the Aero Studio program. But now Live 4 has pianoroll it might be worth considering :)

http://www.users.on.net/~edan/aero/pianoroll_ideas-vectrex.html

Now the key feature for me is INSERT/BACKSPACE to rearrange the notes, try it out (del=backspace ...

Can you have referenced/ghost patterns? eg alt+drag creates a ghost so one change in the parent block changes throughout the song. Basically I find programs extremely tedious without this... like Reason

or you could just pop the spacebar off :)
hmm, I think I might mangle a keyboard just for live LIVE use, remove spacebar and windows keys, put coloured dots on the keys to correspond to clips/tracks and put masking tape on all the others and the rest of the surface so I can write on them old school ...
