Ableton Experts needed.
Posted on: 17.06.2009 by Amada Brierley
Hi Guys,

I hope one of you can help me, i'm going nuts.

Ableton Live 7 (upgrade soon hopefully )

MIDI Clip triggering a synth:

The first note, doesn't trigger properly when you launch the MIDI clip, it triggers fine when the loop comes back round.

At first play it just gives a little "clip" noise, then plays the second note fine.


Argh why!?!??!?!?!

Any help much appreciated

right click the wav form and use the option to make your cursor stick to the grid so this isnt an issue.

no problem. dummy clips are an INVALUABLE tool for doing really cool things in ableton.

I've used dummy clips to re-map my APC40 to be just a bit sexier. ^_^

nah, you want to make a dummy channel with dummy clips.

The dummy clip will have a midi CC signal of pitch UP and a dummy clip with pitch DOWN.

Then use external control to control the synth in the first chanel. Then midi learn the OSC4 to the dummy clips CC signal. voialla. single button action.

You can even use different kinds of launching of those dummy clips to do interesting things, or "gate" it so you have to hold it down to send the signal.

Are you familiar with using racks?

ok well done! Kvitamin wins round one. Round TWO:

I have a synth, and It's easy to automate a jump from 0 semi tune tuning to 7, but how can i just set up two buttons, midi pads, or keyboard notes, to make it jump between 0 and 7.

I am playing a midi clip with a melody sent to the synth. It has four oscillators and i just want to change the tuning on one of the oscillators.

I have isolated the OSC4 pitch control, and can MIDI learn it etc. Just want to be able to jump instantly.

Bit harder?

make sure your first midi note is actually hitting on the one, and not a fraction before. quantize everything, or if that's not your style, just quantize that first note.

also make sure your start point and the loop point both start on the very start of your clip

sounds to me like you need to change your start point on the clip .
