Ableton tips

Here is a quick demonstration of how it works. All you simply need to do is select or highlight your desired MIDI Note(s), and hold ALT/CMD and drag in a vertical fashion, and you'll be able to adjust your Velocity levels instantly. This will enable you to maximize your screen real estate while still providing you the ability to change Velocity as needed. The only drawback to this technique is that it would retain the same velocity level value for any subsequently created MIDI Clips, but it's not too bad of a trade-off for the added screen real estate you get! When utilizing this shortcut, you can still see a numerical representation of the velocity values even without the editor being open by using either of these velocity indicators. Enjoy!

INTRO*Looking for a way to map Roli Lightpad Block XYZ Pad in Ableton and I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocl_KTpgFNMThis method uses the BLOCKS Dashboard XYZ Pad in Edit mode to manually select which CC is sent and map them one at a time. But this actually isn't necessary.TIPWhen mapping a controller that sends multiple MIDI messages at a time, Ableton MIDI Map Mode will only map to one of them. The trick is if you want to map to one of the other ones sent, just hit UNDO and you can scroll the mapping back through the other messages.EXAMPLEWhen the Roli Lightpad Block is in XYZ Pad mode, it sends CC113, CC114 and CC115. Ableton MIDI Map Mode maps to CC115, but if I immediately hit UNDO, it maps to CC114...UNDO again and it maps to CC113.
