NRPN's and better midi

What would really help me sometimes:

-> Automapped controls (APC40) marked in live, so one can see what functions are automapped and which not.

Can't read all of this right now, but I'm sure that someone has already mentioned:

- Improved Stability

- Record modulation in session for native devices

- Open Sound Control native support

Predefine the length of the clips (audio or MIDI) BEFORE you record them with a MIDI controller

THE PROBLEM:
If you want to have hands free while recording clips in Session View, you can't, because you need to hit the "record clip" button TWICE (using the mouse or dedicated controller like the APC). You need to hit the clip record button one time to start recording and a SECOND TIME to stop recording, so the clip start looping itself, which is very difficult while recording using BOTH hands.

THE POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
If we had an option to select how many bars the loop should have BEFORE we start recording (like the "Global Quantization" option), and we could control how many bars it should have (like "None, 1, 2, 4 and 8 bars ) by a MIDI controller.
The option "None" would maintain the flexibility of Session View, and you could whenever you want, predefine the lenght of the clip (audior or MIDI) BEFORE you record them, so you would hit the clip just ONE TIME, and get a perfect (1,2,4 or 8 bars) loop...
This is a really necessary workflow improvement IMHO

I've made a topic about it, and it has two pictures to explain it in more details

Convince your countrymen over at Access Music to create an instrument for Suite based on the Virus. Call it... anything, I don't care. I just really like the sound of a Virus and have no want for hardware.

My 9 upgrade would be to Suite, then

On a much-more-likely-to-happen note, a granular synth would be wicked-awesome. Call it Granular or something to keep it in line with the rest of the Instruments.

A thing I would really love to see, would be the ability to make expressions. (like in after effects) ([example: knob1.Value = knob2.Value*2] or [if (condition){ result1 }else{ result2 }]) I haven't seen or heard of a DAW that does this.

NOT FOR LIVE 9 but for a free 8.5 version !!!


because of this sad year of beta testing...so i dont want to buy a 9 version to have a stable 8 version .


here :

- better midi timing and latency !!!

- a completed audio editor side: bounce in place at least.

for eventually live 9 : i would love to have arranger track and arranger clips a bit like cubase's play order track kind of things... a convolution fx, the so waited capacity to record automations in clips in session and in realtime but it will be maybe in several months or one year so a live 8.5 version will be a great thing.


So i hope ableton will give a real presents to people who have bought a live 8 beta version and who are waiting still one year after its release to have the product they have bought - ( and im thinking about people who have discovered live with this version ... and who dont own live 7 ... ).


A good customers present will be a stable 8.5 version FREE, with good midi timing plus bounce in place feature at least...
will be nice to forget this sad year and all the crashes and long's hours of music and time lost ...
And please , not samples banks , stickers, t-shirt, artists live packs or this kind of things...

i really trust in their reactivity and their understanding

Clips

2b. Pre-named/re-nameable markers that exist above the clip waveform display.
- Example "Intro" "Verse" "Chorus" "Bridge" "Outro" "User1" "User2"
- Drag them from above clip display onto the waveform
- Assignable to midi (ie: easily jump to chorus)
- Absolute yet dynamic assignment to the track the clip is currently in (ie: jump to chorus for active clip on track 1)
- Are savable within .alc and sample analysis file

Devices

A tempo ramp plugin (ie: ramp from 110bpm to 120bpm over 200bars or 5 minutes) - perfect for drunken djing


BTW: Awesome thread - pitty it's not locked as the first thread in the wishlist topic.

-Bezier curve for automation.

-In the scene view having a small "pallet" window that shows all the clips you have in your clip view so you can brain storm your song in the clip view then have a easy way to pick and place them into your scene view.

-A more advanced Macro system where you have a envelope for the macro knob its self. For instance, just like clip envelope you will have a spline on a graf that represents the perimeter over the course of you turning the knob. Using this system. it is possible to have a perimeter jump to a even setting to glide to the next setting or appear to accelerate to or decelerate. It will also be possible to have a perimeter both raise and lower wile the knob is only being twisted in one direction.

-A system that is able to take a audio file and convert it into midi notes. Note values and note length.

thanks.

+ Mono Options on export (L/R/L+R)
+ More formats for export (Mp3, Mp4, Ogg, Flac, Alac...)
+ Option to to show view video position at sample block end (when dragging) - now Live shows the view for the beginning. Think about "sweeping - in" or "rising" effects - it would be much easier to synchronize with video.

Thank you in advance
