Effects on single notes

[DJGreedy]

Hi all! First post on this website. Anyways, just wondering if I could place a single audio effect on an individual note within a clip/loop in ableton 8 and not have it affect my entire loop? Thanks ----Kurt

if it's midi then you can just duplicate the track and edit both midi parts and remove all notes except 1 from 1 track and do the opposite on the other

add the effect to the track with just 1 note

if it's audio you will have to try and isolate the note in the audio editor and then copy that out into another audio track and add the effect there.

it's most likey going to sound horrible though unless there's silence around it - you will get crackles and clicks and bits of other notes.

good luck

put your effect on a return track and use a clip envelope, or automation, to control the send level so that only that note is sent to the effect.

of course if there is more than one note sounding at the same time then they will all be effected.

Thank you!! More than I hoped for

3 editions and years late, but if you have Push2...hold the note in note view layout (sequencer so you can see the note in question to hold it), while pressed change the effect if they are already there (usually reverb and delay are there at minimum, but you could add fx too)

Also a bunch of editions and years late, but if you're trying to have different effects for percussive sounds, you can make a new drum rack, add in the same instrument across different notes, and adjust the chain (I-O) settings so that Receive and Play are as you like. Then, individual notes will have their own place for different effects.
