Ableton Forum

I work in the genre of music.

Of all the 'labels' that have been created, I really dislike the term 'experimental.' Artists that categorise themselves as experimental rarely are. I'd go further and say any art that truly pushes boundaries isn't created by someone who is conscious they are treading ...

Brilliant - that's not a term I've heard since the mid-90's!

lol. I've dumped all my controllers except the LP. The only issue I have is that there's no interpolation between volume levels on the mixer side. Because of the buttons, volume is stepped of course. Would be nice to have an open for gradual change. Still, I'm in One Controller Bliss Mode, and that ...

To be fair, I don't think Ableton have ever suggested that Max for Live will come as part of Live 8 or be free to Live 8 users. It's been clear from the start that MfL will be an add on - hence the term 'Extend' in relation to it.

I would agree that it is frustrating when new developments are ...

Have given the LP with Live 7.0.18 a thorough test this evening. Everything works as it should, and I am now a very happy chap!

Not sure what else was changed in 7.0.18 but I'm also getting lower CPU usage than in 7.0.16, which is always useful!

To be fair to the OP, most DAWs do let you overwrite keyboard shortuts, and to come up with macros. To be able to do this in Live would be handy.

Did anyone test this version with their Launchpad?

Have installed and given it a quick test. Seems to work fine so far!

Music is a ridiculous art form because sometimes people don't write songs that I don't like.

Hooray!

Thank you for this Ableton. Can't wait to get home and try it out.

I am loving this function. I also like that using LP I can quickly arm a track, select a clip to record into, then start entering MIDI note data, and then begin looping the clip - and all without touching the laptop/mouse! :D

The only ways LP could be improved for me is to be bigger (I want a ...

Volume / pan / send level ramping-to-values would be a nice feature. However, I am enjoying the effects you can get with parameter jumps. Maybe the novelty will wear off, but I've had no desire for knobs/faders when using the LP so far.

Also, I am using a load of dummy clips for when I want to ...

Indeed - I was just getting excited too...

I will get M4L at some point I am sure, but my main reason will be to have access to the stuff other people create for Launchpad. I just don't have time right now to build my own patches. So, I would appreciate a 'runtime' with the option to upgrade to the full version later.

I got mine two days ago. I works as intended. I don't know how the original promotional video used the record in user mode to get drum rack driven loops in user mode.

I thought for sure there'd be a utility app or something other then just drivers... something for the user modes 1&2... i ...

no I didn't. Not being interested in something isn't the same as questioning people getting excited over just a color change when there are now comparable controllers with more options for less $$.

Well beyond the obvious aesthetic changes there will now be a bus-powered 128 with the tilt ...
