Please tune one color in the default color Scheme.

I ran into this problem when I ran Live with another program already running that tied up MIDI ports. The Default Skin shows disabled ports as bright orange on light grey, which is unreadable. My suggestion is to tweak the orange color down in brightness so that it's legible. http://cornwarning.com/...

Make APC Mini work in combination mode

I don't know whether Ableton or Akai bear responsibility for this, but you can't use the APC Mini in combination mode with APC40 or APC20. I don't understand why the APC MINI (and the APC Key 25, with which it shares remote script implementation) don't get the love & support that the more expens...

Proper way to direct knob values to all voices of poly~?

Apparently, I'm not properly able to feed the filter knob values in to each of the instances of the filters inside the poly~. It makes some crazy ugly sounds: http://www.cornwarning.com/chaircrusher/max-polysynth-f-up.mp3 http://www.cornwarning.com/chaircrusher/testPolyPatcher.maxpat http://www.corn...

Does the BCF work differently than the APC40? You'd have to have a button send a CC, I guess. The APC 40 doesn't give you that option.

beat repeat 'repeat' switch as gate instead of toggle?

Is there a trick that would let me map a button on my APC40 to turn 'trigger' on and off as a gate? I can make a button (I use 'STOP ALL CLIPS' since that's dangerous to hit accidentally in a live set) toggle the 'repeat' button in the Beat Repeat, but I have to hit the button once to turn it on and...

Why am I being defeated by poly~ ????

So I have read the tutorials for poly~ and thispoly~ and I can't create a working patcher to use in an instance of poly~. I've included them below. My procedure: 1. Start Live, load an empty Max Instrument on a MIDI track. 2. Save the empty instrument in a Live set's directory. 3. Creat new patcher ...

Re: Making control devices...

I've been trying to make a simple control device for use with my JX-3P. When i save the device in M4L, the patch connection lines continue to show when viewed in Ableton. How do i get rid of these? Here's an image of what i'm talking about. http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/205791_1015...

Re: Using poly~ -- question about file system paths

OK, I've been trying to get this working for some time, with no joy. 1.

Re: Granulator not lettng me drag audio from ableton into it?

Granulator should work just fine with mono or stereo files. You should be able to drag them from the live browser and from the finder on Mac, did not test on a windows. You cannot drag clips from session or arranger yet, that's a limitation of M4L still. Robert What I noticed is that it won't work ...

Using poly~ -- question about file system paths

A naive user question: If I use a poly~ in a patch (to get a polyphonic Max Live instrument), I have to specify a patch file name, which gets loaded in the poly~ object. The documentation mentions 'the patcher containing the object must already exist and be found in the Max/MSP search path." My...

Re: Reaktor 5 locking up in Ableton Live 8?

Start up Reaktor in another host and load an ensemble. Then, go to Reaktor's preferences and check "auto save off by default". Note that this option only appears in the preferences when Reaktor's used as a plugin. ew Thanks to all who made suggestions. I also contacted Ableton Support, an...

Reaktor 5 locking up in Ableton Live 8?

So I start Live 8.1.1, load an instance of Reaktor 5.15.002.

It prompts me to select my auto-save folder. I click the 'browse' button and it hangs up forever. What gives?
