Slice To Midi Presets

[Innamourati]

Hey guys, Basically I've just recently started getting very into the slice to midi function. However there is something that is really annoying me. Whenever I slice a clip to midi the default velocity setting for every clip is 100% which is causing me to end up with over the top volume on every clip. Is there a way to change this so the default is 50% or something similar?

you can make your own slicing presets

I wanted to post a thread about the exact topic! Lucky i found this one

Sorry if it seems that i'm hijacking the thread, but i assume the OP would ask the same question - how do i create a slice preset?

Thanks in advance,

Tzvika.

put a preset in library/defaults/slicing

[yauluhim]

What do you mean? How do i create this preset? Say i want the sliced audio parts put in simpler and that the velocity sentisivity of each slice to be 0. How do i do that?

[longjohns]

make a drum rack with a single simpler, with velocity 0

drag it to the folder library/deafults/slicing

give it a name

then when you slice, it will be available in the drop-down menu in the slicing window

manual p.217

Hi..You create your own slicing presets this way..Empty midi track..Drag an empty drum rack into it..Then drag an empty simpler..Assign the vel in simple to a macro knob..Drag the rack into the slice preset list in the library and name it..Now then you open the options for slice to midi it will show as a preset...But the basic slice preset has the simplers velocity set to 0 already...JON

Can I have the slicer presets in my own place in my documtents on Mac?
I am not comfortable with saving my own stuff in Live Library, I have everything in my own place

how will you ensure that the program can find the slicer presets that are not stored within its own folder structure. I am guessing its not possible to achieve this, I've never noticed an option for it in preferences... maybe something in options.txt

just do what the man told you, he speaks the unequivocal truth.

don't worry about it, I just did this to set my velocity settings for default drum racks, if you want to change your settings back, it's no problem. This procedure works.

Hi, I have had this problem as well, driving me mad. I did as suggested, the velocity stays at zero but there seems to be a default comressor loading on it when it slices, so it is still louder, how am I cocking this up?

Cheers,

Steve.

I just realised that is it the volume on each slice that seems to be the problem, it is at -12 db, it sounds like it should be at -15db, I saved a simpler into the default slice folder but it is reverting back to -12db when I slice to midi.

AAAAAHHHH!!!

[mangiedog]

This has driven me wild for ages, not just the effect, but more the fact that Ableton though "let's set a random amount for this to go to so whenever you slice to midi it is an arbitrary level out from what you had originally..."

-12db
50% Velocity

Seems to do the trick for me.
