Are Ableton Live 12 MIDI Tools Worth The Hype?

MIDI Tools in Live 12 should've been truly game changing... some of them are, some are far from useful... 🤷‍♂️
Fortunately enough, Max 4 Live developers don't miss. Chord Pallete should be here by default. But it's free and you can grab it here:

Don't know bout you, but I can't wait to see what's to come with M4L MIDI Tools 🔥

It’s probably easier to say than to do but I find Abletons chance and midi generators too mathematical and not really musical. This is not a specific criticism of Ableton as I notice there are other plugins touting generative music creation and then you realise that it’s just an algorithm mathematically plonking stuff in the piano roll with no appreciation for genre or musicality. They could create a database of patterns and generate based off of that and then apply chance and other probability patterns and then I think it would be a far more useful tool as a jumping off point. Right now you use the tools and generate something that you end up having to tweak so much that you would have been better off making from scratch yourself

Your videos are always the very best. I'm eager to install the update. Please hope Ableton won't wait version 13 to bring more features that speed up the workflow and stimulates creativity. Cheers from Paris

Great video! Live 12 download in progress 😍

[lucwall]

love this type of videos helps me decide if i want to by it or not

I love a lot of the midi stuff, but especially the probability options. I can have a the same midi chords, but randomize inversions at different plays. Definitely won't use all the new features, but I personally find them worth the hype (along with the new browser, mixer in arrangement, Meld and Roar, all of that)

nice! on of the easiest explanation on how to use these efficiently

[CaseySabol]

Yo where can we grab that snare sample though

[DRGONITmusic]

OMG such a great video!
I feel like this workflow tricks will help me a lot! :)
Making stuff way to complicated for myself all the time...
and asking myself afterwards: Why does this shi* not work together

Just found your channel and really enjoying thus far!

I'm happy about a good amount of offerings in Live 12. There are definitely more features that are useless for me personally than features that I will use. The changes are welcome. Since I play keys proficiently and know music theory 90% of the midi changes are useless haha. I have to admit, I do think it's strange that musicians that don't understand music are the norm now. It's like if an architect didn't understand angles, or an author needed a sentence and paragraph generator to write a story. In one sense it can be a tool for learning, in most cases it's just a crutch. I've got mixed feelings about it, but I always encourage everyone to learn, so hopefully people do!

I really don't mean to be a dick, but it is something I do think about so I figured I'd share and hope to get other perspectives on.

Can you define ur own scale or does it have to the ableton presets? Or any way to make the bassline midi generation only use the same notes as the chord being played?

[elretsof]

Excellent-I've bought the Chord Pallete but can't figure out how to get it into Abelton on my iMac ?

[weselle]

Does anyone know if it's possible to MIDI map or automate the parameters of the new Transformer devices?

[allancerf]

I thought the same thing - Ableton 12 has simply moved things out of Max for Live into version 12 and charged for it.

[henri-fillipbauer]

I only upgraded because it run much smoother with less latency on m1 then It used too

[BromotheExplorerDog]

Where can I get the "chord pallet max for live piano roll tool" ???

[blkrbbt]

I picked up Chord pallette.. and even got the supporter version... but how do you load it into Live 12 MocOS? whats the file path to place the M4L device folder?
