Yeah, that’s the spirit of the Performer device :
create an interface that mimics your hardware controller.
Or design a particular “virtual” controller for a specific live set.
And the mapping abilities are quite nice (multiple destinations, modulation, curves, etc…).
So, still a very cool device.
Nothing in Ableton Live remembers MIDI mappings, it kind of sucks.
For this, you would need to use track midi input, and then save the CCs, etc, in the device, which could have presets. Doable, but not currently with Performer.
true, except in template, which is a real pain to maintain compared to preset or a rack.
I really appreciate FabFilter implementing their own midi learn which remembers mappings across projects, I wonder how difficult it could be for Live devs to implement it, it’s not THAT much data to store and maybe show some mappings collision message if a device tried to overwrite an existing mapping.
it would be extremely useful if they could do that.
I’d love to see an option to select more than one audio editor. I have it mapped to Sound Forge, but use SpectraLayers and Melodyne, and going into the Preferences and changing the target is a buzz kill.
Is there a way to set the default grid for new clips? I always want it to be 1/16 but in 11, it defaults to dynamic (I think, it is never the setting I want anyway!)
Right. I made a suggestion on the feedback/suggestions on Centercode to enable folder creation and nesting for saved searches, as well as the ability to rearrange the saved searches like you can with places. My left panel’s a mess at the moment.
If they can resolve that, I’ll be stoked. It’s nice to be able to organize plugins a lot better than being stuck to the 7 collections.
Do scenes on the Push finally show the scene colour, and an indication of which scene is playing? On the Push 2 in Live 11, they’re just all green, and there’s no indication at all which one’s playing/last triggered. Blinking or a brighter light would make sense to me!
Also new for Push 2: You can now group/ungroup, freeze, and flatten tracks. Press Shift and a track-select button to access it (it’s in the same page that you use to change the colors of the tracks).
So far, though, I can’t manage to select several tracks at once, so you can only group a single track at a time.
yes, you can see that on the video I put here. But for now you can’t colour the scenes from the push or I didn’t find how. I think is only for the push 3, the push 2 are only green the buttons I think
Two tracks I made using stock Ableton 12 sounds (the synths are all Meld, and Roar is all over the place):
Messing around with key changes
Messing around with tuplets
The beta has been super inspiring already! The two new devices (Meld and Roar) are incredibly well thought out (although I do wish you could use “scale aware” mode on Roar, as it would make tuning the feedback in note mode just a little easier). I hope more devices receive the scale aware mode as well (stuff like Corpus or Spectral Resonator). The midi editing features are incredible. I used to absolutely hate editing anything with the midi roll, but now it’s quite a lot of fun (and I might actually finally take the plunge into M4L to make my own generators)
