The Decade Old Request: Macro + Math Expressions / Tension Curves
Posted: Sun Jun 23, 2024 2:39 am
Ableton Live's macros can be very powerful as I've made extremely useful racks for production, however, coming from FL Studio, I really appreciated how you can add math expressions to certain parameters and macros, similar to how you can adjust certain curves of mappings in Xfer Serum's matrix view:


And for the few who have already tried working around it, have to resort to using some sort of Max4Live device made for this specific purpose. Having to go through the trouble with workarounds for better macros only makes the producing experience feel much more janky imo.
It'd be great to have some of the math expression / curves implemented somewhere around where we already can adjust the min/max values of our macros:

There's even this post from over a decade ago that has literally zero replies requesting the same feature.
pleasee

It's crazy how all these years we still haven't had a way to do something so simple yet so powerful
