MIDI Clip Envelope Defaults?

[bobcharest]

Hi,

I'm controlling our lights using the M4L Device CC to Program Change. To do this, I set the controller number to be used as input in the M4L device to 1. I then set the CC to Modulation in the MIDI Clip Envelope.

I save the live set.

When I next open it, the MIDI Clip Envelope CC initializes to Pitch Bend.

Although I can then change it to be Modulation and use the M4L MIDI device the way I want to, I can't seem to find a way to make the Envelope CC default to Modulation.

Is there something I'm missing, or is that just the way things are?

Best regards,
Bob Charest

Hi Peter,

Thanks for letting me know. The pics (hosted from my website) appeared to work on Chrome, but, as I found this morning, not from IE or Firefox.

I created an imgur account, uploaded both pictures, and replaced the resource string between the img tags with the imgur string, but they now didn't display on any browser. When I looked at what was copied from imgur, the files extension had been left off.

I fixed that and now I'm all set.

Thanks again!

Best regards,
Bob

hi all,

I'm bumping this in case someone has encountered this and has found a solution. Hopefully that's the case.

I can make the change from Pitch Bend to Modulation each time I start Live, but I would like to understand why the clip envelope opens with Pitch Bend instaed of Modulation (which is what it is when I save the Live Set.

thanks!
Bob

MIDI clips defaulting to the Pitch Bend lane – whether it contains env data or not – is a small but annoying issue to which there's still no fix

The clip's last-viewed MIDI CC lane really should be saved with the project. Works for devices and plugins so i don't know why it doesn't work for MIDI clips. It's been this way for so long, i've never reported it but it might even be a bug. An ancient one, like a mosquito trapped in amber...

Thanks for the reply - The "mosquito trapped in amber" line made me laugh!

I guess I'll just have to minimize the impact of this whenever I start up Ableton.
