Hi Per > > [on Ableton:] How am I going to switch from 4/4 to 7/8? > Manually, by using the mouse. Unfortunately. Yeah, just figured that out. I'm not able to set any keyboard or midi shortcuts for global meter. :-( (maybe some Mac Automation workaround?) I'm still experimenting with Ableton Live & Odd meters. Some success: - You can set a tempo for each scene. This way, you can duplicate a scene, assign different tempo to it and every time you switch scene global tempo will adjust. (Nice stuff, alas, no key/midi mapping possible) - I have created a file with default scenes where each scene has a midi clip with 4/8, 3/8, 5/8, 7/8 or 11/8 meter. This sounds much better than the obnoxious metronome and can be good starting point for an odd meter loop. (i.e. close/open hihat 7/8: one-two,one-two,one-two-three). - This way, I can start with the default file, select the scene with my desired meter, start playing this scene with my desired midi clip - Set global tempo to x/8 (with mouse :-( ) - Duplicate the scene with my desired tempo several times - and there we go! - Alternatively, probably you could create various files with different meters (maybe, with midi controller software: i.e. open prepared file for each meter setting?) - I have prepared 9 audio tracks. I have assigned Number Pads 1-9 on keyboard to mount track 2-10 for recording. - When I launch a scene, all other tracks playback and the mounted track starts recording - sweet! (you need to select global preference "record on launch ON" to be able to do this, though) [on Kid Beyond] > The most important part is to use a third- > party software that translates external (controller) MIDI events Yes, thank you. I have actually posted an update on Kid Beyond's setup, since he's switched from Windows to Powerbook Mac. When I have a choice, I actually always opt for the hardware choice. So, I'll wait for my RC-50 and give it a chance. Still, Ableton is very tempting. Especially combining loops with the effect section is very attractive. Now I need to experiment with effects. If the Ableton setup works, I could get a footcontroller. best regards Buzap -- "Feel free" – 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ... Jetzt GMX TopMail testen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/topmail
