I guess the problem is that the GS Synth always uses the Windows Default audio device as it's output, it does not send any audio into Live.

You should have received a license serial number from Arturia, use this serial to add the license to your account on the product registration page: https://www.ableton.com/en/account/add_license/

(..) the E in the mode was bounced twice, while it should be a F.

Sorry, but something seems to be wrong here: in C Lydian, an E should not be bounced at all, because it's in the scale, and nothing should be bounced to F, as it's not in the scale.

Check out the spec for Ableton's tuning files: https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/10998372840220-ASCL-Specification, your zero-eth note in the octave will always be your root note. You need to change the reference pitch to:

! @ABL REFERENCE_PITCH 4 0 432.0

This will make A your root note ...

Just in case no one ever figured this out: in Live you don't double-click on the BPM value, you just click it once, so it is high-lighted. Then you can type in your desired value. Double-click in fact resets the tempo to the default 120 bpm.

Den Doppelklick bin ich auch gewohnt, ist aber in Live anders: einfach anklicken, Wert eintippen, fertig.

Edit: Doppelklick setzt das Tempo auf 120 zurück.

This is a technical thing with the OS and it's hierarchy of the windows - you can only move a complete app to another desktop, but not one of it's 'sub-windows'.

Some of the sounds in that pack (Operator20) are instrument racks, which I guess could use devices only found in Live 12.


Yes, that's it. I'm running 12 Standard with the Operator license I got with 10 Suite years ago, and the pack installed just fine. I just quickly went through all the rack ...

Has anyone checked if this is actually true? On the Operator product page it says, all you need is Live 9 Lite or higher.

On Windows, it's C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live X.X.X\Preferences

Thanks for your answers, and finally the right question is: Will packs or instruments purchased together in a Suite edition be treated as separate purchases ?
This would mean that they could still be downloaded and used in higher versions of Live in the Standard edition.


When Live 12 was ...

You can set the FX channel to pre-fader mode. This lets you set the volume of the instrument's channel to zero, while you will still have a signal on the FX channel.

Try this: type Ctrl-R, then right arrow, this will put the cursor at the end of the description without anything selected. You can also double-click somewhere to the right of the description, this will only select the text for overwriting, but not the "# ".

The new tunings in Live 12 work perfectly fine with all MPE enabled plugins I tried - except Arturia's Pigments, where they have no effect at all. Strangely, Pigments behaves as it should when I use the Microtuning M4L effect. Am I missing something?

1) Yes, that would be "just one little glitch", reporting a sample rate of 48 kHz and still recording at 44.1 kHz
2) Yes, if I did my math correctly, playing 44.1 kHz samples at 48 kHz should pitch up the audio by 146.7 cents - or 1.467 half steps.
3) Yes, I would try to use Audacity to export your ...
