The 6 target instruments are routed to from the one instance of the VST. Unfortunately, the target instrument midi channel cannot be filtered in Ableton. This leads ...

How to get Microsoft Wavetable to work

I'm using Live 12 and I want to get Microsoft's GS Wavetable synth to work. I've enabled this synth in in Live's settings and created 16 channels with this synth as output. I'm using ASIO (but have tried MME etc)
I've dragged in a midi song and, when played, I can see the midi activity at the output ...

I have just purchased the plugin to use on Live and I'm not getting it to work as expected.

Re: Max for Live Help

OK, thanks. However, I don't think this is actually a pack and so no help at all.

Max for Live Help

With the latest addition of Expressive Chords I decidided I might have a play with these devices. For Expressiove Chords I'm told its intuitive, but I don't think so. The Live 12 manual covers few of the available devices.
Is there a help page of Max for Live devices?

Automating Kontakt in Live 12

I am experiencing some real confusion with setting up host automation within Live 12.

When I use my original Kontakt Factory Library I see a fairly straightforward way to automate.

Copying tracks to Live 12 problem

This is a problem that I have experienced with previous versions of Live and I'm hoping I can overcome it, but so far I have no joy.

At least one of my plugins needs to run under Aminstrator permission (Windows 11). My workaround for this was to run Live 'As Aminstrator'.
However,one side effect of ...

Re: Starting Ableton from default set.

Starting Ableton from default set.

I appear to have developed a serious problem with Ableton.
I have been using Ableton 12 for some time now and I've noticed that it takes significantly longer to load and be responsive to input than it has been in the past. One significant issue is that when I create a new Midi Track from the top ...

Using the Chord Midi Effect for progression

Out of curiosity I thought I migh be able to use the Chord midi effect in such a way that I could create a basic chord progression for a particular scale. Is there any way in which this can be done?
