I’m considering replacing my MIDI controller keyboard, with a slight upgrade. I currently have a Novation Impulse 49, which I actually really like – and although it’s not a particularly important feature, I love its design and the way it looks. But I also love the layout, button/fader sizes and it’s...

OK, so I've done lots more testing. It's still hard to pin-point it, but i can confirm the issue doesn't happen with a different keyboard. I've spent some time just tinkering, recording some tracks of piano, and at some random points, part of the track went up 1 semi-tone. I managed to find evidence...

I think what I'm trying to establish, is if there is a fault with my controller keyboard, or something in Ableton that I don't understand.

My keyboard is just about in warranty, so I want to figure this out ASAP, so I can contact Novation to put a warranty claim in. Not sure where to go from here.

Many thanks. I spent over an hour last night on the track I was working on, with the keyboard unplugged. No pitch / transposing issues, so sounds like it more than likely is something weird going on with the MIDI controller keyboard. I might try disconnecting the transpose buttons as well, although ...

After a bit more troubleshooting, i thought I had narrowed the issue down to the pitch bend wheel on my controller keyboard. I noticed that there was potentially a correlation with me tapping the transport and channel/mute/solo buttons on the controller with periods when this strange phenomenon woul...

Very recently, I’ve encountered random issues in Ableton with the pitch/key of recorded and playback of MIDI notes randomly changing. It’s basically the same as this description on Reddit from a couple of years ago. I’ve been doing a combination of playing in MIDI notes on my controller keyboard and...

Having checked out the new stuff in 11 Vs 10, it seems like a no-brainer to upgrade. Seems you get a lot more than 8 extra tracks!

Thanks for the replies! Good to hear I can use 10 and 11 in tandem, as in the middle of lots of projects on 10 and don't want to have to mess around sorting out issues with 11 if there are any! I'm slightly apprehensive about the upgrade as effectively I'm paying about £70 just to get 8 extra tracks...

I am using Ableton 10 Lite, but am considering upgrading to Ableton 11 Intro, as now require more than the limited 8 audio/MIDI tracks. As I’m using v10, I assume I can’t just apply the new license key to unlock the Intro features and keep all my settings? If I have to install a fresh copy of v11, w...

I’m new to Ableton and finding it increasingly frustrating to navigate through the song timeline, particularly when editing. Firstly, I’m in the habit of pressing Spacebar to play, but often I’ll find Ableton will start playing from the start – e.g 1.1.1.1 rather than from the point I’ve positioned ...

What completely fixed latency for me was: While in Live 10 go to: "Options" > go down to "Reduced Latency When Monitoring" and make sure it is checked. I completely forgot about this option. This is the video that reminded me, good video too: https://youtu.be/Iz8Zs18inE4 For day...

I recently bought an M-Audio Oxygen MIDI controller to rekindle my inspiration for writing and editing music. I used to do this about 20 years ago using Cubase VST / SX 1.1, and I realise how things have moved on, but I want to get back in to it. It came with a license for Live Lite, and this was on...
