Ableton Forum

Alright, scoured through the forums and couldn't find the answer. What Midi Notes/CC#s/Channels is Launchpad sending on? It seems to be rediculously all over the place, and as a result does not play well with other controllers. Has anyone made a comprehensive list of what channels and Notes/CC#s Lau...

Wow, thanks man! This not only solves the problem I wrote about but the additional challenge I was about to take on with regards to getting quick control over 16 knobs

Big thank you Bjorn!

Is anyone else able to make this device work with Ableton 8.2.2 and Max 5.1.6 ? I can't seem to store parameters with clip...I can turn on learn mode and map parameters to the knobs in Clip Mapper, then I press "store with clip" to store it with the clip of my choosing. However when I turn...

I would love some kind of feature that would allow you to take all those multiple lanes of automation that you've done in the arrangement view and print them to a clip that could then be dragged and dropped into session view. So for example, when you consolidate a midi clip, it automatically prints ...

You can use the Chain Select function that's built into the Racks. Put each of your instruments that you want to play with in one big rack in a new midi track. Above the list of devices you have loaded into the rack, press the chain button to display the chain select window. Now what you can do is g...

Welcome to the long and borderline mad scientist road of performing live electronic music... :) Everyone has their own way of approaching it, but as you've no doubt discovered, you can't just load up a bajillion projects and hope to transition through them in one huge set. The trick is becoming effi...

You cannot map one parameter to more than one Midi CC# (Control Change Number) or Note. However, most midi controllers will allow you to edit what CC# or Note messages are sent from each control. So what you would have to do is make the two controls that you want to control the one parameter send th...

Hey Benirose! It's funny because I was literally going through the EXACT SAME thought process yesterday. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a setting where you can have a sample be interrupted and then play on from where it would have been had the other clip not interrupted it. This would be a g...

I want arming to be "exclusive", so that I can use midi buttons on a controller to quickly switch between different midi devices. However, it doesn't remain exlusive if I'm turning the ARM button on and off with midi commands. When I click with a mouse, only one will stay armed at a time, ...

Yep, latest version is rock solid.

Awesome! Thanks! That was exactly what I needed.

Anyone have suggestions?

Unfortunately, that's not really possible with Sampler, because what you are wanting to do requires time stretching, and Sampler does not have any time stretching algorithms. Time stretching in Ableton happens only for audio clips. So what you could do is create a bunch of audio clips that are warpe...

Hey Francis, thanks for the words. I already have saved the default Simpler preset the way I want it. I get the new default preset when I drag and drop a new copy of Simpler from the Instruments folder. I want to drag a sample into a new midi track or Drum Rack slot, and have the sample open in my n...

I created a new default Simpler preset with a different default velocity than the normal preset. How do I make it so that when I drop a sample into a midi track or a Drum Racks slot, the sample opens with the new default Simpler preset?

Thanks in advance.
