Ableton Forum

I think all these devices are constructed with m4l. But you are right that ableton don't wants the changing of standard devices. That's okay, but yeah, they aren't. Consider that Max for Live was a completely separate binary download not that long ago, an optional one -- and you had to specifically...

Could be, then it's just a disconnect in communication :) ... In the other thread the OP talks about "if ableton change their devices and give them an edit button for max editing", I figured that literally means Max editing instead of an expanded view. Also, "Edit Button" means a...

But it will be cool to get the edit button for all devices. It's a must have... It's also something that will not happen, as not all devices included in Live are made in the included modular Max for Live environment. Remaking everything from scratch in an editable modular fashion would be a huge un...

The actual built-in Live devices are compiled binary code, and a part of the actual application package. Asking for an edit button for something like that is like asking for an edit button for Notepad or Adobe Photoshop or Sylenth1 :). (Yes writing slightly in jest here, but you get the idea.) The e...

Yep, a regular collection of samples is perfectly fine running from a HDD. If you're doing Kontakt based composing however (with high voice counts of direct from disk streaming instruments), then the absolutely best use for the SSD is hosting those Kontakt instruments/samples, as this allows for muc...

Ah, about making velocity ramps (in relation to note value) in Live: see the aforementioned MIDI effect rack, not just the singular Velocity device. Create a chain and set the keyboard zone and velocity selectors accordingly. If you want to go really detailed, you can create several keyzones and the...

This can be approached in many ways, and the most convenient one depends on what is causing the louder notes. If it's the filter structure in the synth and the patch, for example, making the higher notes resonate more (or some other process in the patch accenting higher frequencies, or conversely so...

Also (sorry if this is too obvious :) ) google for stuff like "basics of music production", glossary of music production terms, and so on. And progress from there by focusing more and more into the kind of material you want to make, and the specific techniques used in that. This is jumping...

You have a long road ahead of you. And I mean LONG. :) If you're literally starting from zero, not knowing what the terms mean and how to do things, keep in mind that you aren't only learning Live; you are learning the methodology of producing songs. It's okay that it will take time, and you shouldn...

If you adjust a control that you have automated, it overrides the automation until you enable it again.

If you wish to automate a variable gain control but keep the channel faders free for mixing duties, use the Utility device and automate the gain.

My device "Configure" button don't respone on any Kontakt button :-/ I think that's instrument dependent... I mean, depends on the instrument you load inside Kontakt. Just tested it with some Spitfire stuff, and the controls (on the instruments themselves) were mappable and declared their...

As the actual MIDI CC data (like CC 1, modwheel) isn't parameter automation, and instead "just" MIDI data, Live currently places it sctrictly inside the actual MIDI item. However, you can use something that gives you a parameter automatable dial/control and outputs MIDI CC data upstream, t...

Max for Live to the rescue. Alas, I don't know of a MIDI routing M4L device that is made for this, right off the bat :), but I would be very surprised if there wasn't one. Search maxforlive.com for a device that receives multiple MIDI sources and can pass them as parameter control to one single dest...

Now that we can individually stop playing a session view clip, from the arrangement view, and have that channel go back to following the arrangement instead... you know, with these guys: https://i.imgur.com/2FBo3TM.png It would be cool if we could also show/hide buttons that can be used for going ba...

You can buy Wavetable separately. And when you do that, it's basically like buying any separate synth in that manner (although it only works in Live, of course). The added benefit being, it's available to you in all the subsequent versions using this separate license even if you decide to go with St...
