So, likely at or near the same time I did. Are you in North America or across the pond?

14th of November, Iā€™ve also been in the 11 beta for ages. Based in the Netherlands.

Will all user library saves and settings and stuff follow over to the full version, or will all i make in the beta only stay in the beta?

Not at home so canā€™t test, but just to be clear:
The new devices (Roar, Meld, Granu3) are fully controllable from Push 3 in controller mode? What about Granulator 3, does it allow to load a sample or set an audio input for live input? If so, that means it will probably also do that in standalone mode later on, so Push 3 will be a full blown granular synthesizer as well :slight_smile:

The drum rack sound swap for a whole new kit is blowing my mind, I own XO but somehow this seems much better. Meld sounds pretty incredible as well.

Itā€™d be nice if the new midi tools were editable from the push, as far as I can tell they are not at this point.

Can you swap a whole kit in one go? I havenā€™t seen how to do that.

373

yea, you can click the similar button on the rack. then lock whatever cells you want to keep, & click left or right on the swap thingy to swap em all out at once. each cell has its own swap arrows too.

That sounds fantastic. Ableton has so many great drum sounds, but I donā€™t like going through all the kits to find them.

Iā€™m going to try sampling hits from songs, and asking Ableton to match them to built-in one-shots.

itā€™s very elegant I must say. being able to swap the whole kit, then lock one you like, swap the remaining kit, lock a couple more, swap again etc. very nice indeed.

I was wondering where it took samples from and did some digging and it looks like it will use your user samples, ie: Iā€™ve got a folder with all my own sample packs and one shots and it grabs them from there as well.

They even have a shortcut key, hold down Option (on Mac, not sure on PC) with the Drum Rack focussed and the similarity controls come up.

I have been demoing Sononym and so far on one shots I would take the results from either.

I did not realise it also worked on instruments till I tried just now. It uses the preview sound for the comparison I assume. Going to have to figure out if I can make those previews for my own presets now!

Same here. It really feels like this will hit a great middle ground between the power-user heaviness of XO / Atlas and the frustrating randomness of regular sample auditioning; I canā€™t wait.

Iā€™m absolutely here for this also.

I havenā€™t read the whole thread so sorry if someone mentionned this already butā€¦

Anyone knows if Live 12 finally remember the damn audio interface?

I would upgrade for that reason alone.

Sounds like you have some other issue with your system. Iā€™ve never had that problem in many years of Ableton.

Live only ā€œforgotā€ my device and reset to none selected when I was disconnecting or turning it off while Live was open, otherwise it always remembers the device, but from the beta release notes it seems theyā€™ve addressed this as well:

If an audio device selected in the Preferences doesnā€™t open correctly, the audio device chooser will now preserve the selection instead of reverting to the last used device.

btw question for all the beta testers, anyone tried this? does it work good? it should really be useful to scroll around

Holding down the mouse-wheel now pans views in Live, such as the Arrangement View, Session View, or any scrollable area.

I havenā€™t tested this yet, because I didnā€™t plug it to push. I did notice that the plugins add no latency, which is great and to me it shows that they are doing an effort on that direction. There was also a user on the push 3 users thread that said that those instruments have full compatible with push. But that was right on the begining of the beta testing so I didnā€™t want to bother the guy and said to try have single feature and knob of roar, meld and granulator and see if there is 1to1 compatibility. In would bet that there is. There is a million of granulators, distortions and complex synths in the market, but there is only a hand full on P3s. I bet that P3s users are the ones that are going to use Ableton synths the most. They have to :slight_smile:
