ANYONE SEEN THIS BEFORE?


I was wondering if anyone out there uses something like this to color code their clips.. I have started to color code things in my own wacked-out way but I thought this might work better because you'd beable to trigger all yellow clips and be sure that they are all in the same key of C. or blue ones would be in they key of Ab, and so on..

I'm pretty sure ableton has all of those colors so that you can do blue, blue green, green, yellow-green and so on..

D, A and E are all red.


to answer ur question: i havent seen this before. could be useful in some cases if not D, A and E were all red!

and: do u use so many different scales in one song?

They're actually 3 different shades of red, but distorted by compression. JPEG hates compressing reds.

ok, my monitor has sonethin to do with that as well, for sure. its crap. nevertheless i think i dont understand the whole thing. the minors have the same colours as the majors. u would mix up everything then

It's a different representation of the Camelot Mixing system:

Might make more sense now.

thanks for the link. i knew it was a 'quint-circle' (is it called quint in english? u know, a 5-step). and i also knew why the a-minor was at the same 'hour' as c-major, because its the same tones using. but then it doesnt make sense to color c-major and c-minor the same way. if there'd be same colour then c-major and a-minor. but this wouldnt really make sense as well...

I guess you could just label the clip minor or major and then color it.. and the reds are infact 3 different colors..

I am not using that many scales's in one song, the way my Live set is I have all of the songs that my band does in one file. so I'm trying to organize the different loops and patterns we use that are pre-sequenced..

i just wish some one would edit it down to just the peanut butter jelly part, so we wouldnt have to wait through all the boring stuff to get to the reason you posted it
