Any way to step edit across octaves???

[jbw]

Didn't even know that Live had step editing, checked the manual, woohoo! It does.

Then I go to step edit a clip, and it doesn't work across octaves?!?!



Maybe it's something I'm missing, but when I press and hold notes from different octaves, then press right on the arrow keys it won't enter notes.

Maybe it's just a bug?

If there's a way to get this to work, please post a reply indicating how.

Hmmm, E3 and C4 don't work, but E3 and D4 work.

E2 and C3 don't work, but E2 and D3 work.

Wel, at least I'm picking up a pattern here.

Are you using qwerty or a midi controller input?

QWERTY.

Seems like any C with notes from the octave below it can be entered by step editing.

Strange too, can't even enter C# and D with a note in the octave below it. I mean, won't even play the notes at all.

Edit: Actually C# and D with any other notes won't work, regardless of octave. Very annoying. Just updated to 9.1.8, and I wonder if that's the problem.

I know that in the past I have experienced some
PC laptops that had limits to combinations of letters I could hold on the keypad. And it was usually combinations of 3 or more that would result in others becoming unheld.

Do you have an external qwerty to try?

No, no external qwerty to try. No midi controller either. So now I am reduced to the sequencer plug-ins I use.

I'm finding other combinations not working as well, this is on a Macbook Pro. Seems like it's mostly # notes that cause the problem.

How unbelievably annoying.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with step editing, it's just the qwerty input that is a problem.

Brilliant.

Not just a Live problem either. Same thing happens in Logic Pro 9.

So uh, WTF.

I recently updated Yosemite to 10.10.3 so that might have something to do with it. Pretty sure it's not a hardware problem.

Pardon me for a second... FUCK!

The epic mystery continues...

Setting up a midi effect seems to "solve" this issue. In other words notes can be entered and heard just fine this way, which makes me conclude it's a hardware issue of some sort. Beyond my understanding.

Riveting stuff I know.

I suppose there is a slim chance someone else out there has or will have this problem, which is why I'm posting this. Again, just using the chord midi effect registers all the notes.
