Ableton Live 11

[bangaio]

I sold my license and it took around 8 days. So long for my buyer that they logged a claim with Ebay and demanded a refund.

You sold your license on Ebay?

Now I have been waiting since 8th March when she says she has returned it back.

For what it’s worth it was all sorted and I am now back running live which I had almost instantly regretted selling!

New free M4L device....

Great addition and implementation to this fantastic DAW.



Wait for the invasion of response from the “other side”

Thanks for the link
I've not had any notification from Ableton ...

Microtuner looks both handy and crazy, but does it work with common, non-MPE synths?

It IS a fantastic DAW - I learned it inside out at version 4 and have topped up ever since .
I want them to make resonators with a midi follow option like corpus - and the arp could be powered up, but besides that … I love it.

I am on both sides (Bitwig and Live Suite) and I couldn't be happier with Ableton lately, they really seem to have upped there game with and since 11 and together with PUSH 2 and MAX its an amazing integrated environment that looks and feels 'solid' and despite its amazing depth remains easy to use and uncluttered.

I was hoping they would have added MPE to their other devices by now, particularly Operator and Collision

great, thanks!! i was planning to by ODDSOUND MTS-ESP Suite, there is some overlap now... didn't try the ODDSOUND Suite yet, but this gives me already a lot, me thinks.

to lazy to edit my previous post, indeed! and for Simpler! strange that it is so slow... Simpler can only do MPE via a workaround, via Sampler, but you loose control over sample loaded... via Push 2... so for me, it works only at the end, and that doesn't suit my workflow...

I guess Collision may need some AAS involvement to go MPE (and the AAS native stuff isn't MPE yet) but Operator should be pretty easy as it's a relatively simple synth?

Sooner or later all of Live's instruments will be MPE ready but given the complete lack of MPE adaption from the big MIDI controller manufacturers Novation, AKAI, M-Audio, Arturia, Native Instruments, and Alesis, it could take some time. There simply might not be enough demand, yet.

Many of the latest DAW updates (Ableton, Bitwig, Cubase, Logic come to mind) have been focused on workflow and device improvements. There were very new instruments, and or big, heard-turning features were scarce. It's hard to tell if this trend will continue, given the amount of feature request in the workflow realm the community has. Or if Ableton comes out with 11.2 or 12 with a revolutionary new feature or instruments.

The two big developments in DAW land in the last few years have been immersive audio and hybrid workflows of video and audio. I expect the next big Live updates to heavily focus on those since the DAW is still pretty behind in both areas, natively.

I'm all for MPE being more mainstream, especially since I already own a few MPE capable instruments. The expressive potential is huge! But the current price for a decent MPE controller is going to keep me on the sidelines for now.

So in that regard, MPE still appears to be a niche technology as far as user demand goes. But someday, when demand becomes more mainstream and the controllers are being mass produced, the prices will drop.

I 100% agree! When I first played a Seaboard, with all its flaws and shortcomings, this was a true revelation of how expressive MIDI could be. Fingers crossed that this will change in the next few years.

If someone big and mainstream like Ableton launches a good MPE controller like a PUSH 3 for example I think it will become more mainstream. Until then it’s quite niche and expensive and having had a linnstrumet, and rolli (both sold) owning a morph and with an Osmose on order I am still looking for something that works for me…

IIRC Push 2 already supports polyphonic aftertouch in hardware. It's just not handled by software ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
