Where did you see that?
can always add automation/modulation to clips though. i mean… not like it lacks ability to change every note per note and now w/MPE even more so. but also some max4live devices work like p-locks too.

right, clip envelopes = p-locks, and those have been around for ages, at least 17 years.
More “recently” than that, SOS wrote about them all the way back in 2008

I believe the Push 2 can do p-locks to a certain degree but that feature pre-dates Live 11. I have a Push 2 in front of me that I suppose I could test if I weren’t up to my earballs in work at the moment…
On Push 2 you can hold down a step on the step sequencer when on the Device Page (with Sequencer Layout active) and enter a per step parameter offset (as a percentage).
However, you can only do this for notes you have sequenced using the pad grid/Sequencer Layout of Push 2. If you live record notes using Push 2, they do not “appear”/will not be reflected in the Push 2 Sequencer Layout on the pad grid - only in the on-screen Clip view. So no p-locking in that context. I would love for someone to tell me I am wrong about this part.

fabrizio’s step locker looks interesting… love that you can stack multiple params per step.
One thing i’ve been trying to find is a X/Y parameter sequencer. There’s one in Reaktor but thats sort of a pain in the ass to route the midi out, and I haven’t had too much time just build one myself in max yet… if anyone’s got a lead.
On the other hand there’s always just running Plocks into ableton from the octatrack

Liking live 11 on my M1 MacBook Air. It makes such a difference to not have fans whirring. To me it finally feels like hardware, as the Mac is responsive and the software mature.
If anyone is interested, I’ve been getting good results sending link to my iPhone, which has the Link to Midi app on it, then through a cheap USB interface to my elektrons and everything stays locked in better than midi clock. You also have the ability to use any iOS sequencer (Xynthesizr in my case)
Also loving the randomise feature on macros

I was wondering if there is anything like sample slot randomization in ableton 11. This is a feature i would miss from the digitakt if i fully switched over to ableton as a sequencer/sampler. Setting an lfo to the sample slot on the DT is pretty fun. Maybe there a m4l device like this?
Live’s Sampler has the Sample Selector where you can add up to 128 samples that can be chosen from one of Sampler’s LFOs, random or not.

Ned is killing it . . . again.
Sorry if this was posted already, but his hate and discourage about Live 11 is obvious . . . . oh well … ;-).

It’s almost perfect, if only the CC were send realtime.
Did you find a solution for this?

You can also do it by setting each sample’s root note to a different note within Sampler, making the sample only play on the root note and then use the random pitch midi effect to select the sample if you want to keep all the LFOs free. Its the way Ableton does it for their multisampled libraries.

I ended up just using the max4live device CCMapper - MIDI CC Mapper and Modulator version 1.2 by flec8 on maxforlive.com
Mapping push to this gives real time control

OK - I’ll do that then.
I accidentally downgraded my Live 10 Suite to Live 11 Standard, doh!! Been waiting 3 days and no response from Ableton on how to remedy it.

OK - I could only make the CCMapper work with 8 Macro’s so I ended up using the multimapper32cc instead:

It’s a bit easier to set up and use overall. And it has a few more tricks up it’s sleeve
Ah well in that case, Ableton is indeed beating the 20 year old Machinedrum.
