Thank you once again for the knowledge boost! I guess I'll need to brush up my Max programming. In anticipation of that trek up Mt. Learning Curve, one further question if I may: Would the tempo exception utility need to be an integrated component of the M4L instrument, or could a "standalone a...

Hello! Is it possible to use an M4L MIDI device to allow a single MIDI instrument to "ignore" the global Live Set tempo and follow a tempo of its own? I just don't know whether or not the set's global tempo is always completely in command, or if it can be somehow circumvented in discreet c...

Happy New Year, everyone For quite awhile now, my Mac Studio has been nudging me to install OS14. I usually defer big-number updates at first out of concern for "breaking stuff" in the DAW realm, but -- do you all have any opinion on whether or not it's time yet to take the plunge? Thanks!...

hello again, everyone - I have a Live set with a UVI Falcon 2 VI plugin on an audio track. - In this instance Falcon 2 is being employed as a multiple-part / multi-channel instrument with a few different sounds loaded into a number of its "parts." - I'm sending MIDI to each of the parts in...

UPDATE - (somewhat) RESOLVED! First of all, I want to thank everyone for the hundreds views my post has gotten. I feel as if l really stumped the panel with this one, although it's probably more the case that my question is one for the deep vaults rather than having real current relevance since the ...

Hello everyone I'm posting to see if anyone can help me resolve a snag I've hit setting up an older control surface with a new production environment (Mac Studio M1 Max). The "vintage" of the control surface -- Euphonix MC Control -- might be the deal-breaker right there. But I now have th...

How does it respond to a set of only audio clips with zero effects in any channel, zero effects on Master, and zero effects in Return channels? And by zero, I mean not just turned off but completely removed Thanks for the question! Many apologies for my lack of reply -- I'm currently in the middle ...

Thank you for the thoughts, and I will certainly look at that preference setting as you suggest. However if I understand your comment correctly, then the problem I am trying to describe is the reverse of what you're saying:: the clip will start blinking when you press the hardware button but not act...

Greetings everyone Over the past couple of months I've been noticing that both Live & my APC40 Mk II are often slow to respond visually to some clip launches. I feel like the interaction was originally pretty seamless (that was back with Live 9 Standard on the same APC) and I enjoyed that respon...

You're absolutely correct! Dilemma solved, with many thanks.

Can you please tell me how I could have attached a screen shot of the settings page? I'm sure to find that useful in future.

Best,
O2k

Greetings everyone I am now noticing that Live no longer seems to be "following" clips launched on the APC40. It used to automatically highight the track of any clip launched on the APC, which I found quite helpful. Wondering if this has something to do with latest version of Live? It was ...

Hello again It now appears to me that Variation selections may indeed be retained by Save & Close, but that the Selection Indicators for the Variations (that little arrow on the right of each one) do not resume the display of their "Hey! I'm Selected!" appearances when the set is re-op...

Would it not be useful for the COLLECT AND SAVE process to first present us with the option to save to a different location than the current one? The current one could always be accepted of course but it might be nice to collect and save as a copy elsewhere too. It's just my opinion, but I think the...

Greetings! I'm a bit confused by one aspect of Macro Variations. Generally I'm very happy to have them, I think they are a terrific feature enhancement. However it isn't clear whether or not Variation Selections are always retained after a set is saved and closed. I think possibly that two aspects c...

Fantastic. Thanks! Wasn't sure if Live was programmed to look in one standardized location for all saved racks, or if source locations could be more flexible (although I can see how centralizing racks in the USER folder does make recall easier for... the user! :) ) Either way, however, now I know I ...
