So I install 5.b016 and I start in: ok, I will not read a bit of the manual and start messing around. I load in some of my Live 4 sets, things work pretty well. Very well, actually, when a few of the more loaded up ones start to hit higher CPU levels.
I load in one that is nothing but midi clips loaded into scenes in session view. I launch one of the scenes and one of the lines is missing... kinda odd, freeware synth plugin as the instrument. I unload and reload the plug, works ok. Anyone have this problem?
Then I start to use the new effects. There are some interruptions because my jaw keeps dropping, hitting the spacebar (user error).
Take a single bass drum hit audio clip from the included samples. I drop suppatrigga directly into the track's effects, and the run the bass drum through three separate sends to beat repeat, the flanger and a freeware Audio to MIDI converter called "Super Eel". Set the MIDI inputs on the VSTi tracks to the output from the Audio to MIDI. Things are all triggering from the bass note, this is practically bliss. I feed some of this output back into the audio to midi, keeping the levels low, nothing blows up. It's monophonic conversion, so it's kind of a race as to what actually gets converted.
Converted MIDI output going to several tracks running some freeware synths and Operator. I cake on some effects to these tracks, including scales, chords. I run a little bit of these back through the Audio to MIDI.
On one track I add the Arpeggiator. The Arp is getting input, but seems to generate notes only occasionally and at a much lower level- has anyone had this problem? I will need to use it more directly, playing notes from the kybd.
Put EQ four in front of the audio-to-midi, notch out and boost some of the tones. Fiddle with some of the controls on the audio-to-midi-- getting meandering chromatic chords and wild blips, all from a single bass drum note.
