We could just automate every little bit in the arrangement....

I'd really like to be able to use envelope and lfo modulation on macros also,
because I don't think anyone has the time for that ^^^^.
+1000 Pleases, Ableton.


Without having to buy Max for live...

I'd like this:

I bough M4L, but it didnt help me much. Turned out all those fancy lfos occupy the source, hereby the macro, the same way macros does. In other words, if you assign the lfos to a macro, and you later want to record or play that macro manually by hand, you cant. Not without removing the lfo.

So I wanted lfos to assist my liveset. But when you cant jump in and over ride it, its pretty useless.

I think theres some good ideas here. I would also like to see an upgraded macro section in the racks. Optionally have 8 x 3 directional xy pads, optionally switch/replacing the macros. Lot of controllers have touchpads, inluding iphones and ipads. Look at the great SoftStep midi pedal and its software editor:
