Hold select + a drum rack pad. Now while still holding the drum rack pad, release the select button and you can adjust the note length, velocity etc for all steps corresponding to that particular pad. I use this all the time.

also +1 to why doesn't ableton make push documentation that is more than a "getting started" guide?

Why spend time making useful resources for your customers. If you wait long enough, someone will do it for you.

Come on Ableton, this is kinda ridiculous. I've been on live since v3, and it's the small things like this that make me scratch my head - really simple to do and your user base would be way better off with this info, and it may just inspire more people to do really cool, unique things with the tool.

Anyway, thanks to the OP for starting this thread.
