![]() You can do slides, record the pressure & a whole other plethora of things.Įven if you don't have a MPE MIDI controller, you can draw in automation on your instruments. Its aim is to bring the playing of electronic instruments much closer to how you'd play a real acoustic instrument. MIDI Polyphonic Expression allows you to record MIDI much more expressively. With Ableton Live 11, you now have support for this new technology. MPE stands for MIDI Polyphonic Expression. They're new features that have been missing from Live until now & many have used other DAWs for them, such as This is great for people who record a lot of instruments, vocals etc. It links the tracks you choose together & allows you to edit fades, cuts, looping and more. Linked track editing does exactly what it says it does. This basically takes sample chopping to the next level & streamlines the flow incredibly. On top of that you can create new take lanes & put audio into them. That means you can transpose & do everything else you'd expect. You can then comp together the takes by making a selection of your chosen take & hit ‘enter' to compose it into one clip.Īnd, like with normal clips, each clip is treated the same as a normal clip. This is one of the big features that has always been missing from Live, making it worse than other DAWs in terms of recording instruments, vocals & other live instruments.īy looping a section of your track, Live will now automatically create new clips and place them in a group. I'm hoping in future updates they implement something similar to the FL quantise where it highlights the grid, & I really hope we get triplets & dotted notes. They're still very basic and a lot of time is often spent shifting notes around with the arrow keys. One thing that I think is still personally missing from Live's piano roll is the quantisation options. ![]() ![]() (who knows, maybe we might be able to globally change the key of a song like we can do with BPM) Once you set a scale on a clip, new clips will automatically default to that scale, which is pretty damn cool & is going to increase workflow massively. The piano roll also gives you the ability to change how sharps & flats are displayed in the clip by right clicking on the sidebar piano. This is an absolutely incredible addition to Ableton's already fantastic software &, for producers that struggle with theory, writing chords or melodies, this feature is going to make that a breeze.Īnd, even if your music theory knowledge is great, it's still an absolutely awesome tool & will help ease your chronic case of eye strain (I'm not a doctor). Long gone are the days of printing out all the notes in a scale & then folding the MIDI roll.Īlthough, the option to fold is still included, which means that, if you don't want to hit or see any of the other notes inside the piano roll, then you can select this. It highlights them with the same colour that you currently have your clip set to & indicates where the root note is on the sidebar piano. When you select a scale, the clip you're working in highlights the notes of that scale, so you can easily see where to place your notes without going out of key. MIDI clips in Live can now be set to have a particular scale, from a whopping 35 different scale preset types. I have longed for a MIDI piano roll that's similar to FL Studio's, and with Live 11, we're basically getting it. This is hands down the best new feature in my opinion. I've divided this part of the article into sections explaining all the new improvements & additions that come with Ableton Live 11. ![]() Like I said above, there's a lot new in Ableton & it's a lot to sing and dance about. How Can I Test The Ableton Live 11 Beta?.I'm on Live 10 – Do I Get A Free Upgrade?. ![]() New Instruments and Effects (f*ckin ay c*nt)!.Log into your account on, click your name in the top right and select "My Licenses", look for them under the "Loops" header. Is this where I download it? Making sure I dont download malware. Where can I get a FL studio free trial? I saw something called image-line offering FL studio downloads and looked legit. I don't know about Ableton, but both FL Studio and Renoise offer high-functioning demos: ( and ). You can try FL Studio for free, by downloading the trial from their website () I think its a forever trial, and you have access to all the stock plugins, its just restricted in various ways (you can't open saved projects, for instance) but if your just trying DAW's on for size, that won't matter. ![]()
