Hey - Ableton Live's internal metronome can be on or off - that doesn't effect the visual metronome.

Yep it is - you would need to use those devices here 'in between' - ua-cam.com/video/8W4BuRu_FGg/v-deo.html

@@abletondrummer Ok thank you !

Hey unfortunately Ableton decided to not make 'everything' which is MIDI Map-able being accessible to the M4L-API via selecting it via mouse click. I have done quite a few devices which can be 'sit in between' for that, meaning you would use those devices to access certain functions via them AND then MAP the Pacer plugin to those M4L devices. Here is one free/pay-what-you-like one for Clips and Clip Slots - ua-cam.com/video/8W4BuRu_FGg/v-deo.html - plus I have a lot of "AutoMate" devices for some Global functions blog.abletondrummer.com/automate-ableton-live/ and for Track stuff blog.abletondrummer.com/control-track-automations/

Hey the device will monitor PRG CH as well - does this answers your questions?

@@abletondrummer Midi out from ableton will be monitored?

@@mirandazohran Hey IF you are sending out MIDI from a Track then yes. IF you are using the native blue MIDI MAP function and send messages out via a MIDI Remote Out port then you would need to use an external app for monitoring MIDI messages.

@@yarov_me I be tried some similar things bit havent decided yet what to choose for V2 - could you do me a favour and send me a short(!) video explaining/showing what you mean

@@abletondrummerfor sure! The youtube deletes my comment with the link to my Short, so I sent you an email instead. Thank you for your work! 💚

Hey please make sure and test IF the MIDI Note is really going into this track (e.g. record it into there or use a MIDI Monitor M4l device to double check) - IF that is being received: currently the "Off by Note Function" is set to work IF the LOOP ON was engaged via the device. Does this help?

@@abletondrummer Thanks for the advise! I recorded the note onto a midi track and found it was a different note?! So the Roland module is not sending the same note I told it to. Even when switching the device to the correct note it didn't work quite yet. But I used the repitch button and hit the pad and it fixed the issue. Thank you! It's working great now.

@@iangalloway6360 ah great - yep thats what the "S" (Sync/Learn) button is for, just activate this, hit the pad + the MIDI note pitch is set automatically. Roland starts counting MIDI note numbers one octave below then Ableton Live does. So C0 in Roland is C1 in Ableton Live and so on...

Hey - it is a known 'issue' and Behringer is stating in the FCB1010 manual that the Expression Pedals needs to be calibrated by the users - here is a tutorial on how this can be done: ua-cam.com/video/iNFSyvD3Qs4/v-deo.html

@@abletondrummer It's working. Thank you for what you brought to us musician. This is amazing !

@@james_amute thx - please spread the word!

Hey it all could be set up but working a little different then you described. MIDI is ‚just‘ a controlling signal - it is not sending Audio - but you can set up the SX to stream the Audio and record that in Ableton Live and edit afterwards . I made a few courses going through the basics and explaining connection types, you can find those here: blog.abletondrummer.com/online-courses/

Another good resource is TobiBot a chatbot I trained on Ableton Live topics: blog.abletondrummer.com/ableton-support-chatbot/

@@abletondrummer Thank you so much!! I'm very interested in your courses and potentially your SPD SX controller. I'll be in touch. Thanks again for all your great work. It's very hard to find people as passionate and clear of thought that can explain this stuff simply.

Hey I just responded to your emails. The Advanced MIDI Control Dials/Faders will work with every MIDI controller dials which are sending MIDI CC values from 0 to 127. I assume you could set the Akai Key dials to that via the provided MIDI Editor from Akai. I emailed you a download link for a my MIDI Monitor devices which might be a good resource to see what is currently being send from a MIDI Controller into a track in Ableton Live.

@@abletondrummer Cool, I’m looking into possible solutions, currently there’s no midi editor for the Akai apc key 25 mk’s

Hey - when ARMing via the Auto-Arm device the exclusivity ARM doesn't work in 11 as well, so this is not a Live 12 issue or am I missing something here? One option could be to use the "Auto Arm Selected Track" device and combine that with the "Automate Track Selection" both included in the same pack. (Obviously automate ARM-OFF for tracks would work as well) - I hope this helps?

@@abletondrummer Thank you for the response! I haven't managed it yet but I'll keep trying! Apart from that: your Max for Live packs are really great and very helpful!

I’m guessing a way around this is to set up another midi track and send the on note to the looper midi track to automate turning it on?

So I went to your site and found you have another device that does exactly what I was asking so disregard my question!

@@iangalloway6360 Hey - yep that would be one option BUT IF you know that you want to loop a section and already have that set up you want to look into this device here: ua-cam.com/video/BMdfVkKJUG8/v-deo.html - this would let you set up and edit sections to be looped X times

@@abletondrummer Yep thank you! I found that on your site this morning. That’s exactly what I need. I’ll be purchasing sometime soon from you after I have my rig set up!

Hey the Quad Cortex can receive a MIDI Clock from Ableton Live. I had a quick look in the Quad Cortex Manual but couldn't find anything about the MIDI Clock IN settings just for MIDI Clock Out at page 85 - it might just automatically sync to a MIDI Clock signal when you sent one out from Ableton Live TO the Quad.

@@abletondrummerdope I’ll take a look. appreciate your videos and getting back to me 👊

Hey this IS compatible with Live 12 BUT you would need Max for Live (included in Suite or available as an add on towards standard)

​@@abletondrummer Oh, thank you very much for the answer. I have now tested it in L12 and can confirm that. 😄 I bought it and then read on your website "It is compatible with Ableton Live 11 and Ableton Live 10.", maybe I took that too literally...

@@mjusick42 ah ok - I need to update this info - where did you see that? As on the selling page it actually says 10/11/12 - thx!

Ah I found it - in the article it was saying 10+11 only!

Hey Alex - I m sorry but it sounds like there is a misunderstanding here - my technique is NOT changing notes of midi clips but changing the scales the SCALE device sets the note pitches to. This is what I show and explain in the video here. Please get in touch via email if you have more questions.

@@abletondrummer okay, yeah I understand that, but it does not work. Are there changes in the scale awareness system between 12 and 12.1?

​@@Alexs_Music_Comps Just replied to your email but just here as well so for other peeps who are reading this: Ableton's integration of Scale Awareness IS NOT a global setting, IF MIDI clips are present on a MIDI track and IF they are 'Scale Aware ACTIVE' then the current playing will define the Scale Awareness for all Scale Aware MIDI effects on this track. The top display of Scale Mode/Root/Scale is just showing the current scale of a the clip which is selected, it is NOT a GLOBAL setting. BUT, and thats where Ableton's integration is irritating, IF you don't have a Scale Aware MIDI clip on this track playing the MIDI effects will follow the current setting of the Scale Awareness Top Root/Scale display. So in fact there IS some (unintended?) GLOBAL behaviour happening here but only for MIDI effects for MIDI tracks without MIDI clips- AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! This is very confusing and Ableton clearly failed to make this user friendly. TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT: IN CASE you want some flexible Global Scale Awareness being applied to MIDI clips playing notes you want to TURN OFF Ableton's native Scale Awareness and (only) use my technique for setting and forwarding Root+Scale Setting to SCALE Midi effects globally like explained here: ​ ua-cam.com/video/MpGtK5LZ1Pc/v-deo.htmlsi=RNZHPldHl110HbT8&t=1217

@@abletondrummer Thank you for your support and help it works now as expected. I did not understand the issues with Ableton. I have updated the original comment with a new Updated Version for Transparency.

Well its 'not just for fun' if you have hundreds of scene and want to quickly jump lets say from scene 5 to scene 450, right?

Hey - this is not a bug but intended behaviour. You are toggling between two values regardless of the state of the MAPed parameter. e.g. IF MAPed to a track activator button and sending "0"+"127" (On/Off) : IF the button is already "Off" and you send it a "0" it will stay off. Are you aware of my "FCB1010 Foot Control" plugin and the "MAP To" function on there? This will observe the MAPed parameter and trigger the opposite value. blog.abletondrummer.com/fcb-1010-with-ableton-live/

@@abletondrummer Yes, I have the plugin and I've used that function, I just have some macro values that I'm mapping back and forth between during my set, so not quite an 0/1 situation. It sounds like what you're describing is exactly what's happening though, and I can find a workaround now that this is confirmed. Thank you!

I would also love to disable count-in so recording starts instantly when the play button is pressed

@@hannahsandoz Hey - count-in can be disabled in the Ableton Live Preferences (-> Rec/Warp/Launch and then third from top)

Hey - soooo this is a little tricky - you can turn off Ableton Live's Global Launch Quantisation which is set to 1 Bar per default, just set this to "None". BUT regarding having the same length like the first loop this is not really how my looper works, it is actually an advantage (for a lot of looping artist) to not be limited to the length of the first loop but thats clearly not your (current) approach here.

@@abletondrummer Ahh gotcha, you had suggested your looper to me in a previous comment so I went ahead and bought it. I'm sure I can use it for another project sometime. Since I'm not able to use the FCB 1010 plugin you made with Ableton's native looper's multi-transport button, it seems I need to find another solution to my looping issue. Thanks so much and please let me know if you will consider adding ASCII values as an option for programming the FCB1010 plugins, the multi-transport button on Ableton's native looper plays nicely with key mapping so that would be a game changer for me.

@@hannahsandoz Hey please get in touch via email as I might have some unreleased stuff which could work for you - blog.abletondrummer.com/contact/

Hey there are many ways how this could be archived , my Max for Live plugin makes it possible that the FCB1010 ‚can talk‘ to Ableton Live out of the box. E.g. you could have different effects on one track and just mapped the On/Off button of each effect to a stomp via the „Map To“ function

Yep it is blurry - sorry about that - BUT I am describing every step in detail so just follow that

Hey - sorry for that - you should have been forwarded straight after purchase PLUS you get an email with a dload link. Did you sent me an email? Just need a way to be able to connect / make sure you will get the download link resent

Interesting idea but that would b a different concept then to the one being applied here. Of course you could automate and change the „Record to Scene“ parameter here which would give you the option to control seperate scenes. You might be even get lucky in using two Looper devices on the same Midi Track controlling the same tracks to record/loop

@@abletondrummer thanks for your reply-I’m excited to continue working with it

thx for your support!

Hey - sorry to hear that you are getting issues using it - there are two limitations which are pointed out here and on the selling page - 1st) Launch Quantisation needs to be active (like is is per default and set to one bar would work for one bar and values above 2nd) Ableton Live needs to be already 'playing' /transport is running - please drop me an email for further support if that doesn't do the job.

Hey - this is for racks only but you got a few options: 1st please check out my Advanced Midi Map devices, which might b a better solution for your use case blog.abletondrummer.com/advanced-midi-control-in-ableton-live/ - 2nd You would be able to use the Global ones plus using my AutoMATE devices within racks: blog.abletondrummer.com/control-track-automations/

@@Djoeeeeee ???

@@kittycloudz813 hey IF I get your question right then yes - this is exactly what this for: having several presets of mappings to use one controller to control different parameters in Ableton Live

@@abletondrummer are you familiar with the notation controllers that can switch pages and have a new set of midi notes to map via the same pads notes? basically two different mapping for the same pads, I want to do this with the apc key 25 mk2 , have each pad has two functions via a button that has a different set of mapping on each page .

@@kittycloudz813 yep that what it is for - the switching to another preset currently only can be done via a dial/fader or via automation

@@abletondrummer ok wonderful this could be a game changer 🎛✨…so 1 dail can switch all pad presents at once and new midi notes can be assigned to different parameters on all pads (in the apc 25 its 40 pads) correct? then easily go back in forth in a performance settings?

Hey - yep it really depends what you want to control and how you set up your audio routings. E.g. in theory one looper could be used to record different sources or do you really need the PLAY function for all three or DELETE ALL could be one the same Midi Note/Button for all loopers. I am already looking into options for being able to control more functions via one note/button for a version 2

How would you prefer it to be integrated? What functions would you have done differently?

Hey thx for your support! Unfortunately the FCB1010 'only' sends a message when pressed down and not on release - so only options I see here would be using a pre-set longer note length (e.g. via "MIDI FX Note Length") OR using some M4L stuff to have a note start on first press and note off on second press

@@abletondrummer alright, thanks so much!

Yep they are animated and 'look like' they are being pressed - not exactly 'lightning up' but its visible

You would need to get in contact with Ableton s support - they should be able to set your license to work for both

I show hoe to set the M Wave Chocolate to send MIDI Notes here: ua-cam.com/video/b0Fj0_JNHis/v-deo.html

Hey - I have some additional tools for that which can be used to set up automatic quantisation for clips (audio + MIDI) - so you don't have to press anything PLUS it can be customised to the current thing you are recording e.g. on a per track base - here s all the info and a tutorial: blog.abletondrummer.com/how-to-quantize-in-ableton/

thx for your support!

there are two packs - here is the one for slider/faders/dials: ua-cam.com/video/iINeKy5RGek/v-deo.html

Hey unfortunately Ableton implemented the MAP thing not for all parameters and some need to be addressed differently - it would be possible e.g. via my "Automate Arm" device which is part of this pack ua-cam.com/video/iuZ1z8h3Iak/v-deo.html - I m happy to send you the Automate ARM device please send me an email via: blog.abletondrummer.com/contact/
