Thanks Anthony. Your'e a gem.

To anyone considering buying Anthony's courses:
You know what to do. You will be happy you did it. It's like a secret portal guys.

I'm a bit of a turtle when it comes to adopting these new features ;) I really appreciate your thorough instruction here. I understood the concept of polyphonic expression on new hardware like Hydrasynth, but never fully grasped editing the params in the piano roll. Now I get it, and I agree, ..Huge potential. Thanks again

This is the BEST channel to learn Ableton!, I hope you can do a video about FX racks, I play guitar and I have seen some people using several instances of plugins linked to separate FX racks and switching them instantly with MIDI footswitches, I hope you can explain about that too, Thanks!

Really been loving the MPE features for pads over the last while - subtle pitch bending of notes or just sliding individual notes in chords to the next note in the chord before the change can create a whole different feeling to the sound. Really nice feature.

Dude your videos are a godsend. I get so much inspiration from watching.

Got the push 2 and now for some reason the note expression doesnt work for slides anymore any idea why?

[tekhnopranaexploratoryelec]

Wow! Amazing features! Amazing explanation! Count me in soon for the sound design course!!!

[kokosnuss]

Right click on the dot, and choose "Edit value" option, for precision. Also if you turn snapping on it should lock into semitones

[extendedblundering]

This is did I not notice this! Thank you so much I am very excited to play around with this lil diddy. I have a push but until this I've felt it frustrating to fine tune these slides/shifts. Love these vids

[krystledawne]

Love this so much! The possibilities are mind blowing!!!!

[minutestoread]

I learn so much with every video, thank you for your hard work!

[ghash]

Awesome! I've tried to create similar effects by making a separate track for each note, but this is a heck of a lot better. I'm excited to play around with this process!

[dman]

that's awesome! i have an mpe kb, but this is just as fun and accurate to nail your sound down. only thing that they could add to make it more cool would be a note division on the matrix to speed up or slow the fx so you can cycle through different speeds to check out how they sound. ableton really knocked it out with 11.

[TheFunklin]

I don't even use Ableton but still end up watching all of these videos

[xrabbz]

This is outstanding, thanks for the content, this earned a sub!

[williambrandon]

what the hell.... that's.. nutty well done man on presenting good knowledge

[VD]

VERY pertinent video, man ;)
Thanks very much.
This was the Main reason why I upgraded to 11.
I've been postponing diving into it, ....and this might do the trick, and help me out with that.
Your videos are always cool.. You usually do them in a way that you show what CAN be done, the potential, AND.. not in a way that it is just too hard, to too easy, in a "been there, done that" way, do u know what I mean ;)

So thanks very much.

Cheers from Portugal

PS: one of these days I'll go into your paid content..
I feel that it is just a matter of time.

[Edgerrin]

Hey, i did everything as you explained but even at 6:50 i cant get the note to bend. Can someone help me please?
I googled basically everything around "note expression" and "MPE" "not working" but found nothing.
I cant get my head around why this is not working for me. Im on Version 11.2.11 btw, so everything i checked so far it SHOULD work... But it doesnt.
Oh and thanks for the Video of course...

Do you know how note expression works with plugins? I know Phaseplant supports MPE, but it doesn't react to note expression at all

[George-nxzu]

I like the way FL Studio does it, where you can color code your notes within a single clip, so that the red note slides to another red note, the green note slides to another green note, and so on. It seems a lot nicer to draw in than Ableton's automation line- which looks kind of messy if you have a lot of notes of a chord sliding. Plus its more visually expressive in that it tells you what note you're sliding to. Of course, you get a bit more expression in Ableton because you don't have to be on whole notes but decimals of semitones and so on.

Can you explain what the values mean in the MPE Tab of the Wavetable? Like if Osc 1 Warp is on 10, does that mean that pressure information affects Warp up to 10%?
