I think this is a great idea. But even a half way house would be so useful. So many times for my workflow I will begin with an idea which lives in one scene. Then I want the same thing but - say in minor instead of major - or also transposed - just to add harmonic variety and build a song structure ...

Hi Again folks. I made a small YouTube video summarising *my* particular list of missing features - as described in my earlier reply here. Please like and share etc.. if you want to get something hopefully done about all this in - say - Live 12 ... Its titled. 'Ableton: Whats missing for Orchestra/M...

No brainer. For orchestral stuff but also other libraries and plugins this makes articulation switching much less of a pain.

Cubase, Logic, Studio One and Performer all have articulation maps.

For those writing a lot of orchestral stuff using the Vienna Ensemble Pro plugin server - users this allows us to require less VEP instances. Currently we are forced to use many instances each with a max of only 16 MIDI channels. If Ableton supported more than one MIDI port per plugin ( Like Cubase ...

I have a serious question regarding all these feature request. These are all valid, I'm really just curious... because I also posted features from Cubase I wished in Live in another thread but thinking it over it will not happen because Live and Cubase, S1, Logic, etc. just are so different. On an ...

Its now 2021 and some of the suggestions here have actually been implemented now. However- here is *MY*. personal minimal list if feature enhancements to at least keep me ( us? ) in Ableton for longer before having to export work into a scoring app or Cubase etc.. : Ive already been forced to use Cu...

Why are the export features in Ableton so poor? if needing to move one's content to another DAW - say Pro Tools, Nuendo or Cubase - Ableton provides virtually no help at all. For example why can't we do a bulk export of all MIDI tracks or clips? Why no facility to export to one of the universal medi...

Firstly [shelluser] why on earth would I post a dishonest comment? Secondly someone else wrote " I think he's referring to virtual MIDI ports, not physical ones. " Yes thats correct. Cubase and Logic allow a single multitimbral type client plugin like VEP to send MIDI to more than 16 instr...

This is something I wish Ableton would fix once for all. And its been requested in Centrecode. Currently unlike Cubase or Logic etc there seems no way of accessing MIDI ports other than 1. Hence for any VEP instance one must limit instruments in VEP to 16 max so that they all appear on MIDI port 1 a...

Vienna Ensemble Pro is an app that acts as a plugin-host "server". It allows those huge plugins that use massive sample libraries such as orchestras - to be held in RAM all the time and accessed via a CLIENT plugin in the DAW - so that one doesn't have to endure the huge waiting times as a...

Ableton 10 CUE & Metronome question - have the CUE stereo outputs in the MASTER track set to channels 3+4 of my USB interface. But when I do this I can't hear any metronome. The CUE output does seem to work for CUEing tracks though. But just not for metronome? As soon as i return the CUE output...

If you mean adjustment of notes in order to fit these into a specific scale, that's what the Scale MIDI effect addresses.

very poorly it has to be said.

Add an option for grouped tracks where only ONE clip on any track inside the group can play at any one time. As soon as a clip is launched on any track other than the track where a clip is currently playing the current clip playing is stopped as soon as the launched clip begins to play. This would b...

I support your ideas 100%. ABLETON FOLKS: PAY ATTENTION I might add that a BandInABox or iReal Pro-style Chord-sheet-mode chord progression editor would be useful in addition to a more basic chord time-line approach. The other feature request - this time under the hood that I've already passed on to...
