Does Live 7 offer a chopping feature?

Post by before » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:46 am

I recently converted from FL Studio to Ableton and in FL studio, you could chop up your keys/chords to 16th notes and such. Is there a feature like this in Live 7?

I'll try it out thanks :mrgreen:

Edit: You can only it on audio files? What i'm trying to accomplish is chopping chords up in the piano roll to make it a patterned pluck

Render it to an audio clip (...or if you want a gater effect try autopan with phase set to zero).

The OP is not refering to slicing audio. Unfortunately I don't think Ableton's stunted midi capabilities offer a feature like FLStudio's midi chopping. I would recommend reading the manual's midi chapter to confirm.

Chopping MIDI? Did I miss that my whole life? MIDI is already small pieces: notes! What would you like to chop then?

I thought it was a misunderstanding that either he created a melody on a MIDI channel and wanted to do some glitches to it or was referring to a trancegate effect...
