Push feature requests

Post by djadonis206 » Thu Apr 04, 2013 9:18 pm

We have Push, now what else do we want?

Naming tracks from the hardware
A macro page so I have all the relevant controls in one place rather than on individual tracks
Be able to record into the arrange page when inspiration strikes
Erase notes from the step sequencer with one button combination rather than deleting each note (this is tedious if you have sequence longer than 4 bars)
In the step sequencer mode I'd like to work on editing one part of a longer sequence while the whole loop play rather than stopping the loop by selecting one part of the sequence (get at me if this doesn't make sense)

How would you imagine this would work? Turn the pads into a keyboard? Or scrolling through the alphabet with the knobs? Both seem quite cumbersome if you ask me.

Do you mean to have say a 4-bar loop running but only be able to record into bar 3, for instance? This could be quote a good idea but I really like the super fast workflow of isolating a loop quickly, drumming my pattern then checking it in context again.

forgive me if I'm wrong here but would Metastatik's amended Push scripts give you what you're after?

+1 to your other requests.

I'm holding off on any of my own requests until I'm sure I have sussed the way Ableton have intended in case I'm requesting things that already exist.

Elektron has a neat way of doing this from their hardware.

A little alphabet graphic apprears when you go to name or rename something. By holding down the function key and using a knob, you can scroll through all the letters. No need for a key board! Pretty cool

Oh yes, and per step automation.

That would be a live 9 feature request. Not likely something you will see as it would likely take a code overhaul.

I hope it's not that complicated, but I'm not a computer code guy so what do I know

We can record automation into clips, so it seems that we'd be able to record one step at a time in the step sequencer.

C'mon ableton smart people - figure this out for me. Pretty please

Unlinking clip automation from the hardware. I'd like to have a 2 bar loop but an 8 bar filter sweep. Sure I can do this in the arrange page but I'd like to see it implemented with push in session view.

fundamentally, i dont think thats possible for a step sequencer since it had to "step" through each part of the loop to know when to play the sample....

with technology and max4L, maybe who knows

Ability to switch the touch strip to modwheel. For any non-ableton instruments having modwheel accessible is basically a necessity so it would be nice to have the strip switchable between pitch and mod

dj, not to go there but you can edit parts of sequences without breaking the whole loop in other applications like Maschine. I feel dirty for just saying that LOL!

Amen. This is freaking ridiculous that the Pitch Bend can not be switched to work as a modwheel.

Anybody got a killer solution for cycling VST presets. Only thing I've come up with is to use Jurgen's "Dial for Program Change" M4L Device
http://www.mossgrabers.de/Software/M4L/M4L.html
but only works for some synths. It would be a zillion times better if Live simply let us select the VST presets via the LCD screen. Is that really so difficult?

How about being able to use the loop length pads as additional drum rack triggers? So you could have an 8x16 pad if needed. That would be cool
