Ableton Forum

Quite often I'll need to send rough drafts to people and having to constantly run them through itunes is a ball ache.
'Nuff Said.

Just go and learn clyphx, it's the best thing for clip based performances. Basically it let's you put settings in a clip name so when I launch this drum loop, I know it's going to launch with x effect settings and y mixer settings. And it's free. Monster.

Hi Daniel,
State is surprisingly easy to get feedback for, if you use m4l.api.deviceparamter, and point it at the loopers state parameter one of the outlets observes it, giving you a number 0-3, 0 being stop, 1 record, 2 play and 3 overdub. Then I guess you can use the select object to trigger ...

Hi, Chris Bartholomew here,

I've been rewiring into ableton since I upgraded from 6LE, but for the life of me couldn't work out how to automate parameters in Reason (4) within Ableton.

Largely it works in the same way as the pitchbend/mod wheel information, it's just a case of finding the appropriate CC numbers.

You Will ...
