    If its not pitch bending by note expression, do not forget to "enable MPE mode" on the VST/Plug in by right clicking the VST in the effects rack.

      I don't have that option when I right click. Why tf is this not enabled by default, so frustrating. I think it just doesn't work with certain plugins, it works with vital but not modo bass. That's getting uninstalled.

    Hey, is there a way to use the midi pitch wheel to add pitch bend to existing midi notes? I'm not tryna draw everything in, nor re-play all the notes live...
    Thanks so much!

    • @quintinspina4270
      @quintinspina4270 2 роки тому +1

      ​ Anybody wanting to know, I figured it out. It's the 'MIDI Overdub' button next to record automation or 'Automation Arm' button, if you wanna check it out, here's a vid ab it:

    Do you know if it's possible to automate pitch bend in the master channel? Or at least groups. I'm curious if there's a way to pitch bend multiple channels at once.

    • @kylechumchal
      @kylechumchal  2 роки тому

      The best way I can think to do it would be to do the pitch bend in the midi and then duplicate the midi to the other tracks that need the pitch bend.

    Note expression doesn't work on some instruments unfortunately, the pitch remains constant (using "Saw 3 Waveforms" instrument for example).

    How do I select a note without it deleting it or having to right click it and have the menu pop up? Also how do you bend all the notes at once? If i'm bending a 20 note chord there is no damn i'm way i'm doing that to each note individually.

      It sounds like you have draw mode on. You can disable this by pressing “b” on your keyboard when musical typing is turned off or you can click the pencil in the top of the screen.

    Hi man, thanks for the video, but would you know how to record the pitch bending automation directly from your midi controller hardware? As exemple when I record something on the Akai MPC software, I would simply record the notes as such, and then I would record on overdub and only play with the mod wheel to add pitch bending. I'm sure sure this is something that can be done on Ableton 11 but I cannot find how.

I need it to pitch bend higher and it seems even when maxing out the pitch bend it will only very minorly pitch it up when in reality shouldn't I just be able to pitch it up or down as much as I creatively want?

    • @kylechumchal
      @kylechumchal  Рік тому

      This really depends on a number of things. If you are using a plugin there are a lot of factors that could cause this. If you are using MPE (the note expression one) then you need to make sure it is an MPE enabled plugin. If you are using an actual pitch bend you may need to change the pitch bend range in the plugin.
