Ableton Forum

Plesae all laugh at me I cannot believe this has taken me 3 years to discover.

I knew that holding ALT key when making paremeter adjustments in live increased the controls resolution. For years I didnt think this applied to the transpose control for IMPULSE presumed it was a limitation of the audio engine and there is no visual feedback of fine pitch control. But last night I found out the ALT key does make fine adjustments!

I was just about to buy a 3rd party drum synth mainly for this one fundamental purpose, now i can make percussion tracks with some sort of harmonic content for no additional ££s I am so happy thanks ableton.

I am using impulse for all my drums as well.






Actually, I'd love too see impulse, get an impulse 2... But, Ableton did drum racks...

However, I'm very keen on impulse.

another handy trick, and this seems to work well with many of the abe controls -- you can type a decimal value into the control ... the decimal won't display, but the control will still use the exact value you typed in.
