Ableton Forum

Hey D, Thanks for the recommendation! I just realized I made a typo in my original post (since updated). I'm looking to alter the factory preset for a Launch Control, not a Launch Pad. I saw a Launch Control in one of the videos for Oktopad, but it's unclear to me if it works for Launch Control in a...

I'd like to change the "mixer" factory preset on my Novation Launch Control so that releasing a pad (as opposed to pressing the pad) toggles the track on and off. For me, it's a lot more fun and accurate to release buttons to kill audio channels than to press them. Here are the options I s...

Thanks for the examples. Guess I'm not as up on it as I thought!

Ableton's ability to warp audio clips to a particular bpm and time signature is one of its most powerful features. Are there any other DAW's that use a similar warping system? I'm not aware of any. Does Ableton have patents/IP that prevent others from shipping products with similar warping engines?

Anyone have an update on this? I'd love to be able to load a file in a slot via M4L or some other automated means.

Looks like live.drop is still a work in progress judging by this thread: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=126411&hilit=live.drop Personally, I don't think this object is useful on its own. What can you currently do with a file path? Find and load a clip in your Max environment? ...

That was easy to follow and informative. Thanks!

I just came across the live.drop object, which returns the filepath of a clip dragged from live's file browser or dragged directly dragged from the OS (i.e. Finder). While this isn't what I'm looking for, it seems to infer that there exists or will exist a means of using a filepath to load a clip in...

Live's file browser leaves a lot to be desired for my dj uses. I need to sort tracks and samples by bpm, key, genre and tags, but all Live gives me is filename search. I can (and do) use an external program (Mixed In Key) to sort through tracks and samples, but I hate having to drag the clips into m...

Count me as extremely interested in this feature. It's essential for the visual coordination I hope to do with Max for Live.

This sounds interesting. The link's gone bad though. Do you have it up somewhere else?

Awesome! Looking forward to it.

How DARE you! Haha. I've been accused of the same before, so I guess I'm overly sensitive. That aside, anyone have any idea how the total number of Live instals is divided up between macs and pc's? I've never seen Live installed on a pc. That's probably because I live in the mac-centric western U.S...

Aren't you just passing lighting data from Ableton to the interface? What's the codec for? true, but I wish to sell music to night clubs so people KNOW when the strobes kick in so can do some sophisticated dancing. I could then build a online shop and help everyone make money and me too. Are you se...
