I an using a Samplepad Pro to trigger the scenes via midi using the up or down selection in the master track, but selecting the next scene does not make it play that scene. Why? Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong but what's the point of selecting the next scene if it won't play it? Just for referen...

I have an Alesis Strike Pro kit and a few of the custom kits they have are ones where the sounds are layered in a manner where the drum sound for a particular pad may stay the same but a layered note that is also on that pad arpeggiates within a chord or set scale. This way you can play some pretty ...

For anyone who is still experiencing problems viewing the ClyphX Pro lessons in the Ableton Live Help View please note the following. Also, I am assuming here that you are using Live 11.x. The target directory is: C:\Users\<your_user_name>\Documents\Ableton\Factory Packs The source directory, i.e.,...

Hope springs eternal! 13 years later, Live still cannot output multiple channels from a track. The output of each midi channel is merged to channel 1 on the receiving track. Pure insanity. I downloaded a really interesting free probability sequencer in Stochas and I figured this was going to be som...

I have a reasonably functional arrangement with a couple keyboards and drum pads for the instrument inputs, and a Novation Launchpad X running along side a Novation Launch Control XL. I've been dabbling with VCV Rack and decided to buy an AKAI MIDIMIX which is essentially AKAI's version of the Launc...

I have Kontakt with numerous vst's as well as some stand alone like u-he Zebra. Can I add these to an instrument rack? I can't figure this one out..

Edit - Zebra just drag and drops. But what about Kontakt instruments nested within the Kontakt player?

I have my instrument rack set up so the Chain Selector Ruler is mapped to the Chain Selector. I can map the Chain Selector to any knob of course, but what about mapping it to a scene so when I change to the next scene, the instrument changes? I have ClyphX Pro and I suppose there is an answer there,...

Is it a 32bit plug in by any chance, and you're using the 64bit version of Live? That very well could be if that's a thing with Ableton. I use a 64 bit version of Reaper as well and it's not an issue there. I looked in the pdf that came with Supertron but it doesn't say. Is there a way to tell? (Ot...

I just uploaded a nifty VSTi called Supertron and have it in my typical VST folder but Ableton doesn't seem to want to pick it up. It works great in Reaper.
I copy / pasted it into another sub folder with a bunch of VST that show up fine but no luck. Might anyone have a suggestion?

I have a track where I have dropped several drum scenes / loops in session view. The longest I seem to be able to drop a loop for is 8 bars and then I can loop that as much as I want. Once I have recorded an arrangement, the loops I can work with seem to be only 8 bars in the clip overview window bu...

It was a driver issue FM. Thx for trying to help. Appreciate it.

What driver do you have selected for Sound Preferences? Is it the same one you are using for Reaper? Reaper shows the driver as being Focusrite USB 2.0 Audio Driver and ASIO Live shows MME/DirectX as the Driver with the Audio input as my (18i20 usb)DX If I change the Driver in Live to ASIO it says ...

That won' help you one bit, becaus a re-install will keep the screwed up Config.cfg. But fortunately there's an easier way: How to reset Live? | Ableton

Thx, fixed. So how do I steer Live to all the different VSTi locations?

Well now. If this were Reddit you would get Gold!

Thx.

What is your buffer setting? Well... oddly I can't check that at the moment. I just screwed something up pretty good. I was trying to get Live to find all my vsti I have in various folders and couldn't figure out how to get it to look in multiple folders other than going to the parent folder.... wh...
