I was able to find the right device and get exactly the effect I was looking for.

Thanks, both.

Ah, perhaps I missed the MIDI version although I note in passing I am also still on Live 10. I'll have another look, thanks.

Thanks. Not quite as — if I understand it correctly — shaper is working on audio. I'm looking for a way to change the oscillator the Max LFO is using for modulation data. The term I was looking for an couldn't bring to mind when I mentioned "duty cycle" was "pulse width". A stand...

I'm looking for a way to trigger an effect (in this case TimeFreezer FX) where I want a long hold (playing frozen sound) and a short pause (resampling). What I think I want is a square wave with a low duty cycle — long peaks and narrow gaps. Fiddling with the M4L LFO effect I can't seem to change th...

I'm currently trialling SugarBytes Nest sequencer and I've hit a limitation that appears to be related to Live. Internally Nest generates 8 channels of MIDI which can be used to drive either its internal instruments, a VST plugin, or be routed to the host. Here's the problem. I was expecting to be a...

Since I updated to OS X 10.7 and Live 8.2.8 Live has been completely broken for me. Mostly what happens is that it runs but it's window is frozen. So, for example, say I click on the transport start button, the transport starts and the track plays but the transport counter doesn't move, the track mo...

Thanks Klaus but I don't think so.

1. I had a limiter on the master out, set to avoid clipping
2. If I was clipping I should have heard it in Live when playing the track, not just in the rendered wav.

Hi. Last night I was making a track in Live (8.2.7, OSX 10.7.2) which I rendered out to a WAV file. Puzzlingly the WAV file had some crackling in it. Yet, when I went back and replayed the section within Live, no crackling. A friend I was talking to who knew I was using an audio recording suggested ...

Thanks fx23. Should have just gone looked myself shouldn't I?

I've downloaded the LOMnavigator device to figure out what I need.

Hi. I would like to use something like Max for Live LineFO or PeakMod to generate automation data for a set of tracks sends (so I don't have to draw in the automation myself). Unfortunately none of the devices I have tried offer track sends as a target. Is this possible? Either via M4L or any other ...

Hey there! Might want to check out this thread: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=131553 Could have some useful stuff. As a short answer to your question, I usually put all of the unrelated tracks (instrument tracks, looper tracks, sidechains, etc.) all the way to the right group of ...

For me the automatic mapping of the Launchpad "window" onto the Live session view is okay but in some ways also a bit of a pain. I find myself inserting empty MIDI tracks all over the place to pad things into even blocks of 8 so I can switch between scenes using the session button and have...

Hi. Can anyone point me to any documentation of how to use the M4L API to implement double-buffering on the Launchpad? I've followed Michael Chenetz's tutorials and been able to implement bi-directional control/updating of my sequencer/Launchpad. That works pretty well. But I'm stumped for how to us...

I'm using Live 8.1.4 and Max 5.1.4. I'm storing the track current_output_routing and current_output_sub_routing information and then, later, setting it again using the following patch: <pre><code> ----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 621.3ocuW1zbaBCDF9L7qPiN6lgOM3dq8duzdrSFFAnhUKHwfDttIS9uWIAz Z2h...

I ran the message ordering tutorial and the debugger stopped in the tutorial patch at the appropriate place when I clicked the first button. Excellent! I went to my own patch and added some breakpoints. Enabled debugging. Nothing. Discovered the patch was no longer actually working. Then Max beachba...
