That uses MIDI Map Mode. it only works with external MIDI, not internal MIDI nor Computer Keyboard.
You can use a virtual MIDI loopback to send MIDI outside then back into Live.

But simply buying a MIDI keyboard would be simpler IMO, especially when it would have saved ten+ years of effort.
to be fair I got a launch key 25, and a launchpad pro x. its just that I love making music on my lap, and I got no convenient place to but the launchpad while producing, so ive conveniently used the Mac keyboard instead.
there is a saying like, the camera u got in the bag is the best camera, which is often the phone.
for me the MacBook Pro keyboard is convenient. and I got no idea why I can't play midi clips in multiple pitches with it. I can do that in renoise effortlessly. and it's a feature in ableton. Like ive already bought two controllers, I just prefer the Mac keyboard.
I guess I need to find a stand that I can put over my Mac for easy management.. ahhh, I just wish this was a feature, like it really bugs me out that its not a feature for the Mac keyboard. its such a musical feature. like it would make so much sense to do this.
I know I can manually map midi clips to each letter, but easily playing a clip in different pitches seem like such an intuitive feature. I love things that are intuitive. things that doesn't take me away from the flow.
I love my launchpad too even though I haven't used it. mainly cause I had a 2015 MacBook with too much latency, now I got a newer Mac so it might be time. but it still feels clunky for me to bring the launchpad its so big. I was originally gonna get the launchpad mini for this reason, but I could get the more expensive one so I got that one instead lol .
Ableton team I would really appreciate this feature. all do some crazy shit for it. im a fiend for that feature alone. forreal. I was so frustrated today with not having that feature that I made a painting instead.
