Ableton Forum

hiya,


i have had ableton a little while and i am trying to draw in the notes for a melody i am making. normally you draw the notes in and they come up pinky colour but for some reason they are now coming up white and they don't make any sound when they are played.

please can someone tell me how to change it back to pink? i guess i must have put it on a setting accidentally or something.

i would really appreciate the help. thanx

my guess is that you need to hit the 'back to arrangement' button??

it's up top with three horizontal lines, should be lit up red...

...or it might be one simple thing. Checked the velocity of the notes below them? The lower the velocity, the whiter the notes become. Red means it's gonna make some sounds. You probably hit one note before that had a very low velocity, because live uses the velocity of the last note written for the next one, explaining why they're all like that.
Otherwise, "back to arrangement" button is the key to fixing almost all problems!
