You can do all of this by using your mouse to first set the BPM, then select the track, then double click on the top of the track or press Option-Command L. Stray has created a language where many of Ableton’s functions can be reduced to single commands and written into a sequence of commands.įor example: I want to set Live’s Global Tempo to 145 BPM, select a track, select a clip slot that I’m going to record a sequence into and arm the track to record to take in MIDI notes. Scripts essentially allow you to automate the execution of tasks that otherwise would have to be executed by a human with a mouse. I’m going to do a series of blog posts on this remarkable addition to Ableton Live to introduce its functions and then go into advanced techniques for live performance.Įvery software has the possibility of being scripted and Ableton is no exception. Despite its incredible versatility, there is a way to massively increase its functionality and flexibility by adding a simple free script to the program – ClyphX designed by Stray from NativeKontrol. This makes sense considering the ability to use it live is built into the DNA of the program (hence the “Live”) and it is also the only of the widely used programs created by performing musicians (Gerhard Behles and Robert Henke). e.g.Of all the DAWs currently on the market, Ableton Live is arguably the best suited for live performance. Some controllers may show up as more than one USB device starting with the same character string. One thing worth mentioning to avoid surprises due to using partial device names: Native Instruments Traktopr Kontrol S2 Mk1 Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 Mk1 Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 Mk2 I've got a few midi controllers (in my never ending search for controller perfection), so if there's something you want me to test or figure out with one or more of the following, don't hesitate to let me know. A very valuable addition - especially for standalone Unify.
Wanted to mention my enthusiastic appreciation of the MIDI Controller Files.
