You guys should check out “remotify” you can use it to make scripts for ableton and any controller. If you have a launchpad pro or X you can make a script using the midi port and use it with custom modes alongside the standard live mode. It’s recently been updated to be compatible with live 11.

That sounds really top, i have that Faderfox EC4, when i could click T1 -T16 encoder, and then could control the macro within that track, i check it out.

Yeah I sold my MIDI Twister because every incremental Ableton update would hose the code and it was a hassle getting it all going again. I am probably just going to map my Arturia keystep to plugins and save the macro and plug in a group for future use when I upgrade to 11.
It super cool to mouse over a plugin and have the knobs automap but I have given up on that happening reliably.
I have 3 weeks annual leave from work starting today and I’m just sitting here twiddling my thumbs until this goes live… it’s already 11am on the 23rd where I am, I can’t wait to play with some MPE

The machinedrum came out in 2001, now in 2021 ableton has plocks, 20 years!
I am really looking forward to v11, I feel like with all the things ableton can do now I can probably drop a bunch of hardware.

It works really well, I’ve made several scripts for midi fighters launch controls and launch pads with it.

Does someone know when its gonna be released today? Which time do they usually release a release on?
I’ve had the same experience over and over with Ableton which is that I basically like the software and believe it works well, it’s solid etc but that I really don’t need the vast majority of the features that cost the extra money for the higher “tiers” so I’ve just grabbed Intro for £55. I’ve bought and sold Suite several times over the years (yes, I’m that indecisive guy) and I’ve never got on with M4L and also never been impressed with the bundled AAS instruments or the Ableton ones either really. Wavetable is OK, but I’ve already got Serum. The AAS ones just don’t interest me. We’re in a world of plenty with cheap, useable software synths and FX so I just don’t think the extra £300-400 is good value for me personally.
I can, however, definitely get £55 worth of fun from Ableton Intro, and they’ve increased the scene count from 8 to 16 which is significant in my mind. They added the complex audio stretch modes to Intro some years ago and Simpler is a brilliant sampling/synthesis tool - it’s now a very full-featured DAW for that sort of money even in it’s most basic incarnation. I got on the Beta (very late) and I think some of those quality-of-life workflow improvements seem small but are significant e.g the scale modes in midi editor, probability, scene follow actions, nice GUI tweaks etc. It’s a lot of value for £55.
If a newcomer wanted to start producing music with a computer I’d send them towards Ableton Intro in a heartbeat.

I love Operator, Wavetable and Collision. Great internal synths

I certainly don’t think that they’re bad! I already have enough synths and also use Bitwig which has loads of bundled synths. Operator is a classic for sure, but I think a lot of people are intimidated by it. Me included!

Ableton 11 looks great, but as a push 2 owner and Live user since 1.0 I wish the discount was a little better than $183, anybody remember what the discount was on Black Friday?

guess I’ll just shimmy on back to my L10 then
I think the 20% extra off deal was over today
yep
Have they, I can’t see it anywhere, perhaps they are doing it in stages? Is the download link in your Ableton account page?

Hmm, yeah, they are probably doing that. This is on the site and yes I have the download link on my account. I’m in Sweden, maybe they wait a few hours for the US.
I’m in Copenhagen, Denmark (Same timezone as Sweden), I have no download link either.
Thanks for the update, that’s strange, I’m in Scotland and my account is still located in Germany. Oh well, guess I have to wait! cheers.
