Given that they had a segment in their presentation about trying to prevent myopia in people (apparently 50% of the world’s population will have it by 2050, yikes), I imagine the lenses built into the thing might help with focusing your eyes further away. And no, the thing is not translucent at all, all you’re looking at is 4K-ish screens.

We should probably move to DM or the WWDC thread before the mods get annoyed.

I used Acid (the DAW) because they gave it away at basically every street corner. The jump to Ableton was a smooth one. Tried Reason for a few months, and really liked the offerings, but maybe they tried cramming too much on the screen at once. Don’t know, get kind of claustrophobic when I use it.

Asd (Ableton Sound Design) has another brilliant tutorial over on their YouTube.
Grab a tissue for this one it gets emotional 🥲

Syncing question here:
I am recording what I play live on a TD-3-MO directly onto an SD card in my mixer. I want to bring these audio files into Ableton Live and add drums and percussion and do some arranging.
How do I get the timing right on the synth part (i.e., the TD-3-MO part) that I bring in? I’m recording at 120 bpm, so I am setting the same BPM in Ableton. But since the start of the recorded track isn’t the exact starting point of the recording, I’m not sure how to line up the audio waveform with my other percussion tracks. I can look visually and see the waveform, but since I’m side-chaining it isn’t always clear visually where the downbeat is, or an easy to spot transient.
How does one go about doing this?
maybe record a bar or two with very short plucks, like in metronome style, would make it really easy to align and you can trim it later
doesn’t matter if you do it at the end or at the beginning btw
Interested in this, how does it fatigue your eyes?
I thought with VR each eye looks at a different point, so the actual focus point would be somewhere in reality, behind the goggles.
I can definitely understand how having screens strapped to your face could be fatiguing though 
Very interesting stuff, but I refuse to sit there and listen to someone tell me I won’t be the next Fitness…whom ever they are.

Maybe I’m dense, but there’s all these looong videos on Drift, and I just want to find out how to configure MPE properly. Is the pitch bend range limited to an Octave? How come when I set in to 12 semis and set my Linnstrument the same it does some wacky uncorrelated bend?
Not sure if you meant that as a joke. But THEY ARE Fitnessss.
I had to go trial-and-error with the settings in drift and linnstrument to make it work. If you still have trouble let me know and I will look up what I found to be useable settings

Don’t worry, Ableton’s in there.
Oh boy this one’s tasty. Watched Yan Cook’s latest video and he was using Ableton’s Shaper tool to manipulate the filter of one of his Simpler devices. Can’t believe I didn’t think about exploring these midi tools more. That set me on a journey, and one thing I suggest is using the Envelope Follower and experimenting with that. Want a more pronounced Side Chain effect? Slap the follower on the kick channel and map it to the volume of a channel/device or whatever. Slap it on one instrument and have it modulate a different one. That along with the Shaper tool offers up a whole world of possibilities!
Pity you can’t modulate the clip’s Transient Envelope. That would be really wild.
Link to Cook’s video. I recommend (again) watching some of his videos. He rarely uses anything else than Ableton’s devices, so you don’t have to worry how to make something work that you watched because you don’t have the VST (unless you need the Suite edition).

Anyone know if there is a way to mimic the Groove Bend slider on the Toraiz Squid? In Ableton or M4L?
It momentarily slows down or speeds up midi notes non destructively. Looks pretty cool!

Not sure how well momentary would work with it, probably a bit more set and forget, but check out FlexGroove on the Ableton packs store - love it for weird stuff that pushes and pulls against tempo.

This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Looks really nice. Thanks for the tip!

It’s wild! Initially downloading and trying to implement I was a little confused - definitely worth following the little Ableton lesson that pops when you install. Biggest aspect being it really needs MIDI notes of 1/4 note. Incredible stuff awaits!
