Ableton Forum

Hello, I like to develop plugins and random projects, and I was wondering if there was documentation for communicating with the push. for writing to the screen in user mode, showing button names, lighting up the pads to certain colors to indicate various controllability.

any guidance is helpful. I ...

Thank you so much! Do you have to use a USB hub, and if so what’s working for you? They are pricey. I think I only need one with three usb c inputs.


I've been cycling through different hubs... For my C devices I use C to "regular" cables, and the hub I currently got going on is intpw powered ...

I am using a 24gb M3 refurbished air (I splurged on ram because I develop web, and do lots of other stuff),

I've used this for live looping gigs running lots of effects and instruments, Works fine! These air's are way more powerful than most people realize!

you should be fine with 16gb.

My friend recently lent me his OP-1, and I'm sure there are a lot of mixed feelings about these units, but I find myself enjoying the limitations of the recorder, and I am wondering if there is some way to overdub audio in ableton.

I just want to set up 4 minimal tracks, record over them without ...

Trying to set up an instrument for a single midi channel, and I was hoping to have some kind of "exclusive" solo type of mode, where I could just select one instrument in the rack from my controller buttons (mapping 8-16 separate instruments), kind of a pain to disable A and enable C in a workflow.

Yes. It's a fairly recent addition, you can do it with M4L now.

hey my dude, could you potentially point me to the relevant documentation?

nvm, gpt got me there: https://docs.cycling74.com/apiref/lom/looperdevice/

I am having trouble putting words to what I want to do, so here's a video demonstration.

I want to take the audio from the "looper" plugin, and move it to a cell in the track that it belongs to, trigger the cell, stop, and clear the ...

I want to map my macros and stuff, but I don't want signals from device A to trigger signals from device B. And as I map out my set, I can see things conflicting.

Hello. I just loaded the CC Control and I am trying to figure out how to change the mod,pitch,pressure,and button in the first row to custom knobs?

Also is there a way to add more pages? tia

hello. I often want to record a midi track and then forget about it while I cook up new ideas, but the midi overdub being enabled messes up my workflow here.

How do i use a fixed length reocrding but then have the clip just enter "play mode" afterwards?

2025 wants this as well.

seriously, it can't be that difficult to add to the software

This isnt much of a solution but I also have the kind of timimg which sees me hit "end of loop" ... precisely 3 ms after I should do

So, I wrote a thing for my footpedal which truncates the clip to the closest bar, or wherever I need it to be. It's probably not too transferable to anyone elses ...

No, it's called timing, do it before you read h the end of the loop (it sounds like you have your quantise set to a bar so you can do it at any point in the final bar)...

Cheers

lol. timing.. dude, when you are strumming a guitar, it's kind of hard to hit the "stop the recording" button....

Hey friends, I am currently trying to jam out live loops with ableton, but I keep running into an issue, If I am recording a loop and I hit the "stop recording" pad on my launchpad a little too late, it adds another 4 beats to my loop, even though 99.9% of that bar is empty.

Is there a way to ...

seriously..

a multiple folder feature is so needed these days.
