ok, I just tried and it is recorded as automation in arranger, not in clip. I see your point now. Yes, it is quite disappointing not being able to choose somehow.....

this is because automation values in the arrangement are the actual absolute values of the parameters whereas the automation recorded in clips is relative.

still, it could (should) be recorded, even relative.

No unfortunately Legato wasnt one of the options that made itself available when selecting multiple clips.
This is wrong info: legato is in the options if you open the launch pane in the clip properties before.

Very very nice. This will be very useful! Thanks for replying guys!

refering to the conversation with amo and peeddrroo a few posts back:

yes, that is what i mean... imagine playing a 2 bar midi loop in a live situation. you're in session view, the joint is smoking, you aim for your midi controller you assigned, the crowd anticipating, you have them eating out of your hand, everybody's ready for that wicked freq cutoff/pitch bend thrill you're admired for. overdub is engaged, or maybe you have set up a new track for this? cooool! GO! you do your thang! you want this to loop!

it's not gonna happen... very sad to see this feature missed in a looper/instrument/recorder/sampler, whatever you want to call Live.

but i'm still loving it and will get 5 asap, but hey...

edit: ok, the pitch bend is a bad example, because it's usually one of the only midi cc that's generaly assigned to what it's supposed to change. besides, what about recording fx on audio tracks, and all non automatically assigned CCs?

BUT, if you use a softsynth that has midi learn in it, recording midi cc# values in session clips actually does work. I think it does in v4 as well.

on the pingpong delay, a small "F" button has appeared between the "sync" button and the timing box

and guess what?
it's a freeze button... AWESOME!

oooh!!!! a little looper secretely made it into Live5? Damn!

That button has GOT to be the coolest ~10x10 pixel addition I've ever seen in a program. It even has a bit of a filter roll-off going on in the feedback loop ( I'm not sure I dig that).

but why on earth hasn't it been added to the other delays?

I know what my #1 feature request is now - increase that maximum delay size on ping-pong delay to at least twice its current size! Please!!!

yea. that junk is the business!

i like toggling it on and off when nothing is being sent to it... freeze it, then unfreeze it and let it degrade a little more. then freeze it again.

I dig tweaking the delay lenght when it's not in freeze mode and tweaking the filter as well, and then firing off the freeze, totally grabbing the tweak I just did. My main request now is that this function is introduced in *all the delay units!* - imagine how cool this would be in the grain delay!

hell, all the fx should have little motion capture units, just a freeze button and a little 1/16th->8 bar selector

well, you could slap a ping-pong after (or before) it and capture with that for now. that's what I'm doing over here, instead of sleeping...

yeah. So simple. And with the device groups there really are no excuses for not doing it.

only thing is that you'll need to have your track armed for that.
checking if tracks are armed if one of my major pains in Live. but there's no way to avoid it really...
if only this program could read my brain... well i think it would be my wife...

yeah, you need to turn on "record" to record. Go figure
