Cubase has an input transformer for realtime operations on incoming MIDI. Anything like it in Ableton?

Not that I'm aware of. Only post-facto other than quantizing.

So you wouldn't be able to get C3 from a MIDI Keyboard to trigger C4 on a softsynth?

Yes you would, Live comes with a selection of MIDI effects. More complex MIDI mangling can be done with Max for Live.

I forgot Max. My bad.

Looks like a pretty basic DAW function for an optional add on.

Ableton Live has MIDI Effects, all of them work real-time:

https://www.ableton.com/en/live-manual/ ... di-effects

(EDIT: Basically, Pitch or Scale devices can be used to "get C3 from a MIDI Keyboard to trigger C4 on a softsynth".)

Filtering can be done with MIDI Effect Racks and their zones:

Record Quantization is a menu option:

Don't most of those work only with recorded MIDI?

No, incoming midi in real-time

Check out MIDI transformations in Live 12:

Never realized that. I might've used them more often!! LOL.

looks like its only post record and not realtime on incoming MIDI

Those transformations from 12 are only for editing, but the MIDI Effects devices do work in real time. However, and this is a big however, they don't seem to record. In my hands-on just now, only the note played on my keyboard recorded.

I'm not saying this is bad or good, but you'll need to bounce the track to record the effects as far as I can tell.

You’ll need to create a new MIDI track and grab the other track‘s output.

Can Ableton transform MIDI?
