Turning Live 11 into a jazz quartet - Getting Creative in Ableton Live #11

The probability editor in Live 11 makes it possible for midi notes to not always be played but just sometimes. Why not use this to try to make randomized jazz musicians?

The final result is available for download if you want to. I've also cleaned it up a bit, and added a third chord for the bass. Just follow the link below and enter $0 to get it for free.

This was an amzing demonstration of some features of Ableton 11.

I'm a jazz musician who's just learning how to use MIDI in jazz, and this video was quite helpful! I love how it sounds too, this is awesome!

[Swancore]

I can't wait to try this for the purpose of resampling for my jazzy liquid funk drum and bass I make. This will be a game changer.

Funny how much “jazz” it sounds and how much helpful it is as a tutorial on Ableton’s 11 new features at the same time. Sweet.

Great work David. As someone just getting into Jazz but long term Ableton user, this is amazing!

[KletoReese]

This is Absolutely Incredible! I love jazz and love how you created this little piece on Ableton. I subbed!

[RickySweum]

I was excited to see what awesome tutorials you'd come up with using Live 11; you didn't disappoint. I learned a lot about the new randomness features, thanks. Looking forward to your next one.

I was messing around with 11 today trying to do exactly this. Glad I wasn’t too far off in my thinking.

Great demonstration of the possibilities of Ableton Live…

this is so awesome I lean more toward Jazz when creating, I am Ableton gang, so this excites me...great video!

I am a new user to Ableton Live 11 and have been viewing as many tutorials as I can to learn how to create music and use the software. I am amazed of how you put together and combined notes, beats and tempos to make it a jazzy sound. Excellent. Well done. Thank You

That chromatic movement on guitar leaks added SO much flavor.
Great work!

[djazasound]

Great job, not only this one but the rest of your tutorials. Thank you!!

[smileskenney]

wow this is eye opening with how to use live.

[persiansilkpavilion]

Fuckn' awesome. Couldn't help but laugh at the simplicity of your complex method and nonchalant approach... genius!!
Time for live jazz to step aside ; )

[johnnymichael]

nicely done!! really cool way to use ableton for live instrumentation. I just have to mention that you have to commit the grooves to the tracks you apply it to, after selecting it from the drop down menu hit the little arrow above. You will see the change in the piano roll once committed however many times you so choose.

David! :) So glad to see you are sharing new stuff with us here. Welcome back! :)

[noenduringcity]

Brilliant! This is exactly the sort of thing I was excited about in Live 11, but I didn't quite know how to approach. Amazing video!

[alanrudge]

Great demo, tons of new ideas for me...

[paultalentscout]

This is absolutely cool music! Just amazing how you could make these tunes out of this equipment! Great work! :)
