Ableton Forum

LOL, just searched in Live's Browser here, found a couple devices I had built for someone who asked for a device that toggles with MIDI notes, had forgotten I ever built those. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/745dbne1p48hfkj73q9oc/PT-MIDI-Toggle.amxd?rlkey=5tb1tmxfq98o4mrmeq8hur5jz&st=v4w0rkot&a...

@siliconarc hardware, I want to use Drum Rack in Push 2 to live perform stutter or rhythmic effects on master or groups
@pottering thanks, I tried Shaper Midi, but couldn't find how to map an on/off switch of an effect. It works fine on things that modulate (like knobs).

My goal is to trigger native effects on/off (ex. Beat Repeat) in a Group Track by tapping pads in a Drum Rack. The idea is to use the "External Audio Effect" to send midi notes from each Drum Rack pad to a midi receiver in a different Group Track, and then use Midi Mapping in the Group Tra...

I have a Push 2, since Live 12 came out I noticed this process takes an unreasonable amount of CPU load and memory.
Even when idle it can go to 7% of CPU load, why Ableton, why?

1) You need to adjust the ADSR settings for the Pitch Envelope. (...)

What exactly do I need to change? I didn't find a solution yet.
video example

Here what I see (latest version of Live): 1) Pitch Env prevents the sample to play until the end. You add a long sample into Simpler. Then you set it as 1-shot, gate on. Play the sample (hold the key down) it plays till the end. Now enable Pitch Env, set it to +12 st. Play the sample it will not pla...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_rg94NS3-k Explore Ableton Live 12’s incredible new MIDI Tools yes, thank you, I already experimented with them. However, I still have not figured out how to use them for my goal. An example of what I mean is here: https://youtu.be/IsfyVe0M0_o?si=1zCFEi5tFBe1UQas&am...

Just checked out this video demonstration of Groove shaper.
Wondering how to achieve similar chord/melody chopping in Ableton Live Suite 12.
The idea is to have long midi notes dynamically chopped to come up with chords and melody rhythms.

Any suggestion?

After I record audio directly in Ableton, then convert it to Simpler and chop it up... How do I save it in my User Library along with the sample itself? https://i.ibb.co/R9Dr5Hp/Simpler-brah.jpg So far, the way I'm doing it is to edit in an external editor (trimming only start and end), then save th...

Maybe I got it set wrong, but after updating Ableton Live to 12, my Push 2 does not light the keys that are pressed. In 11 when I was playing notes, they would change color. Or even by playing midi clips, I would see the notes changing colors in Push. How do I set it correctly? Edit: solved, a full ...

So I came across this video here, at 5:42 you can see an effects rack with various transitions. It would be great to trigger transitions with a drum rack, a-la "akai flex beat" (kind of).
Anyone knows where to get something similar, that uses only native plugins?

Sup! I wanted to give a try to MPC Beats (standalone app) using Push 2 as controller. I was able to assign all the buttons I need (with Push 2 in default user mode). However, MPC Beats has 16 knobs, I was able to assign the 8 central knobs (cc 71,72,73,74,75,76,78) and I trying to see if I can assig...

perfect, thanks!
As suggested by the article, Kontakt has an "automation" section in the browser:
Just link the controls there and they will be auto-detected by the control button in Live.

I am trying out Kontakt player, wanted to add it into an Instrument Rack and assign the Macros but I can't:
if I click on the "Configure" button and move knobs in Kontakt, the parameter don't auto populate.

Anyone knows a fix/workaround?

Is there any way I can turn off an EQ8 filter only when its gain is set to zero,
so that if I reduce or increase the gain the filter automatically turns on?
