Piano Roll

[Sternenlicht]

Hi,

I saw a cubase tutorial where one Piano Roll was transparent and the guy used a second Piano roll of his current instrument to match chords from pad and lead synth. Is something like this also possible ? I.e. compare two piano rolls at the same time in Live ?

Did i missed a feature in the manual ?

regards

In Live's basic piano roll you can't even compare and edit two parts at once which I find so restrictive and unmusical it defies description. But, I have high hopes for Live 9

Yeah I was writing notes on a pad of paper for years before it occurred to me to take screen grabs of my piano roll. Felt real stupid.

Another thing I sometimes do is take a copy of a clip with say a chord sequence in it, deactive all the notes and name it template or something. Then use copies of this clip for subsequent parts. The good thing about this is you can get rid of notes that don't really tell you anything to simplify it to what's important. The down side is once you've made a bunch of clips this way, if you want to make a fundamental change to the sequence, you have to manually move the deactivated notes in all your parts. Still I find working this way is pretty good at the beginning.

funken, this is basic man seriously?!?

Go in your midi clip and second clic on one note [or select several ones]>>> in the sub menu: desactivate notes

Voilà
