Fold My Scale
Fold My Scale
I have no idea what scale I just made, but I like it and I want to fold it with all the octaves available.
In fact I never start with a locked scale, I jam and play around until I find something I like. Like probably most people do.
For example it could be incorporated in the gui with first hitting the fold button, then the scale button, (now both are active) while having no scales selected in the scale menu. Aka «Fold My Scale»

Re: Fold My Scale
You can do this now, albeit not dead easily. See my post on constraining with Drum Racks.
Re: Fold My Scale
Thanks. Its cool, but to much work around for me. Especially when jamming out musical ideas it must go at once, or I loose my flow.jonljacobi wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 8:51 pmYou can do this now, albeit not dead easily. See my post on constraining with Drum Racks.
Prefer to be able to fold and de-fold on the fly, like current fold but with full octaves, aka "Fold My Scale".

Re: Fold My Scale
Understandable. Who knows? Seems like a performance-oriented feature. Maybe in 10.2. If you've already got notes, drag them to the left beyond the beginning of the clip, then hit the fold button. Only works for one clip though.
Re: Fold My Scale
Yes, something like that could work. Or even better: Fold a clip like normal, but let us see all the octaves too! aka "Fold My Scale".jonljacobi wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 11:36 pmUnderstandable.

Re: Fold My Scale
I'm sure you've found the info by now. Congrats!
Re: Fold My Scale
I have set of this sunday to learn all the new futures of Live 11.
I can still not get it to fold my own scales.. Been through the tutorials, and the manual.
Does not seem possible. I don't think it is possible.

Re: Fold My Scale
I was wrong, you can only fold they're own scales. But if you just created a scale, you can just use the plain fold. To keep it, drag the notes off the grid to the left, then fold, then save the clip and use it as a template.
Re: Fold My Scale
..and actually one of the ableton guys tipped me that you can shift up arrow a norrmaly folded scale, and as such increase the octave range of the fold.
So that sort of works..
