Automate Pitch Bend from Arrangement View ?

Post by chapelier fou » Thu Jan 31, 2019 9:30 pm

Is it impossible ?
For some reasons, automating it from the clip is not possible in my case.

Edited because I thought that the "Detune" in Simpler was going beyond the +/- 50cts in arrangement, but realized I was mistaken, not looking at the right place because I was tired and a maybe a little drunk. That's why I deleted the post without explaining.
It was useless wasn't it ?

Anyway, here's why I'm stuck :
I've got a Simpler loaded with a sample. Loop is on, on the last part of the sample only. I want to hear the starting portion only once, then the looping portion gets looping during the whole song. There are 3 voices, and I want the chord changes to be made by a pitch slide.
So I copied the track 3 times, one per voice, made an infinite note in the clips, and thought I could automate pitch bend in each track. It's only possible in the clip view, but it's not really practical since I'm composing and moving stuff a lot.

YES I WANT MPE. :mrgreen:

Also, that made me discover something unpleasant :

If you have an infinite note in a clip (detach loop brace and put it somewhere in the middle of a long note), and run in an Arrangement loop, the note is retriggered at each arrangement loop.

that's a byproduct of the Chase MIDI Events feature (reported ages ago..)
turn that off and it stops retriggering.

Damn, this is now possible in Live 10.1 !!

Thanks a lot !
Modulation envelopes are back in clip in arrangement view, that's a game changer for me !

Hey, was I just stupid ?
It seems that it's totally doable...even in Live 10.0.5.
