![]() I'll be fine nudging stuff instead of swing, but for performance that aint happening.Did you know that you can do Step Sequencing in Ableton Live without M4L, only with any MIDI keyboard or control surface? You just need to program a few macros and shortcuts, and you're ready to sequence! Without touching your computer or mouse :) Great, but where is the swing value like every other DAW.įor studio work, fine. In fact, on like every sequencer I've ever used.Īnd I'm assuming because Live itself does not have this functionality!! Edit - > record quantization - > 16th note. On an MPC, if you have a swing value selected, it will automatically apply that swing to the record quantization. The only way to get around this is to have premade, empty clips with groove settings applied? Somebody please tell me I'm wrong here. Unless you push the quantize button quickly AFTER both of these processes and incorporate that into your workflow? And when you put stuff in the step sequencer, it will still quantize it un-swung. ![]() One of my feature wishes for the future of Live is a single approach to groove that allows you to dial in groove with a button (as in Push) but that allows you to commit/not commit to groove (Pool) and that allows you to set global groove amounts (pool).Īm I crazy or is Push unable to automatically apply swing record quantization? When you have record quantization enabled, yes, it'll automatically quantize the notes you record, but NOT to the swing amount! Awful. But I find the Groove Pool clumsy and difficult to use, and you don't have a global default groove that you can select. So you can change groove options globally. What is nice about Groove Pool is that you can choose to commit (or not) to a particular groove. You can always use the Abelton groove pool instead till Ableton get there stuff together about the swing and quant.Īt the moment Live has two competing approaches to applying swing: groove pool and the swing knob. ![]() Kompletemail wrote:Ya it certainly does work better when you use the MPC swing from the groove pool so IDK You can set the swing quantization to decide at what resolution this principle should be applied. It is about changing the timing and emphasis of the upbeat. That's exactly how swing is supposed to work. Please give this a shot and see if you can reproduce it guys.thanks I look at the window and can see that when I'm applying swing to notes, only the notes on the upbeats are moved around! Its crazy, try it if you don't believe me! The notes on the downbeats don't move at all! Am I doing something wrong? Does Ableton honestly think this is what swing is? WTF? This is not how swing is supposed to work or sound, at all. ![]() I then applied swing using quantize, and voila it then it sounds like the swing is being applied! So at this point I'm really confused. So I tried to apply swing to a 16th note repeated pattern of hihats or shakers, entered in via the step sequencer. MTG105 wrote:Ok so I found the problem - I was trying to apply swing to notes on downbeats (like a clap or snare on the 2 and 4 for example) and couldn't hear anything changing no matter how much swing I applied. Of course Push is still very young so maybe they're just waiting to add to it, the instrument step sequencer coming in 9.1 is certainly great.Īnyway Ableton PLEASE FIX THE SWING!!! As the Duke said 'If it don't swing it don't mean a thing!' Explains why PDC and a bunch of really obvious other things still haven't been fixed. HOW TO USE STEP SEQUENCER ABLETON 10 CODEThe code must be so old that there's only so much the Abes can do with it. Im getting the feeling that Push was developed as an after thought and not as a ground up new addition to live. You should just turn a knob with a pad selected to get swing, why do you have to even use quantize at all? That should be a separate function. I agree with the quantize thing as well, the whole system is really unnecessarily clunky. They HAVE to fix this.preferably with the option to choose which groove that is assigned to the swing knob. This is totally wack, I sold Maschine for Push which is so far a huge step back in the swing department. The MPC grooves in the groove pool certainly do. I'm pretty sure the MPC swing applies a groove across the whole pattern, not just the upbeats.
