One MAJOR thing to note, is that the white midi track on the far left is a dummy that sends out a CC value through MIDI loopback (IAC on mac), and I mapped that CC to the song index. So all I do when I start a new song is trigger the first scene which sets the tempo and triggers the dummy midi clip ...

Song index refers to the value of the macro knob, which is mapped to the rack chain ruler, as well as the device enable button for the instrument rack for that song. See attached screenshot. I'm going to put together a comprehensive layout as a separate post, also as a followup to this post https://...

My goal is to generate notes with different, randomized release values. The problem with using a M4L LFO to randomize the simpler's release is that it will update the release for all notes currently playing, which means that if a note is triggered with a long release, and then the release knob gets ...

It appears that Push decides whether to use scale mode or drum sequencer mode by looking at the first chain in an instrument rack. I have one chain per song, and the type of instrument changes per song and I just disable the chains that are not in use. Is there any way to force push to use a certain...

An easy way to debug CPU usage is to set your sample rate to 96K with a reasonably small buffer size to make the CPU meter more sensitive. Then start trying out enabling/disabling things. I am using racks within racks everywhere as well, and I have found that disabling the parent rack is enough. For...

I can't answer the question, but did find a way to solve my problem. I used a dummy control clip in a dummy midi track to send data to a MIDI loopback using channel 16 on the IAC bus on mac to set the value. I kind of needed this for a program change, so now whenever I need a new song I just trigger...

I have a rack macro knob with a value @ 1. If I launch a clip that modulates that knob @ 2, and then the clip in the next scene has no modulation info stored, the knob will jump back @ 1. Is there any way to get it to stay @ 2 so I can avoid the maintenance nightmare of having to modulate that value...

I have an audio effect rack with different chains to be used for different songs. I mapped a rack macro knob to the chain selector but I can tell that the effects are still being processed by looking at the CPU. turning off the chain speaker button doesn't disable the effects either. The only way to...

Here is a guy doing something similar although he has far fewer different kinds of instruments than me. He uses instrument rack chain filtering to switch instruments in a single track which is a more vertical approach instead of my horizontal approach of using a track group per song. I've never play...

Discussion revival from 2007 (ORIGINAL: https://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=58528 ). I have all my songs with their own live set, each with live VSTs, live instruments (audio in), and creative use of side-chaining and other live effects. I currently try to cram them all into one big li...

This bothered me for a long time, and then I bought a new retina macbook and it works perfectly, even with the FW-400/FW800 adaptor, and then FW800/thunderbolt adaptor.

Is it possible to load a set from Push? My sets are all ready to play with push, and the only thing I have to use the computer for is loading new songs.

Thanks!

Holy shit this thing is amazing. Definitely worth it.
