I wish Ableton would showcase the step automation more. It’s really a killer feature that could attract a lot of Push users!!

Copying / pasting pages of the step sequencer is a really cool feature. It makes it really to introduce pattern variation in larger sequence. Unfortunately, it looks it does not copy the arrangement automation. Given there is a feature to be able to edit the device value per note, it is really disappointing that we are not able to copy those automations when we duplicate pages. :( Hope Ableton fixes it that soon

Just to ease any confusion. He is using the Push in "in key" mode instead of "chromatic"
If you're in chromatic mode, the 8 pads above the root note will show all the notes and highlight the ones applicable to the scale you've selected. If this ends up not leaving your root note on the bottom row of pads, just use the slider on the left to adjust it.

Can we just all stop touching pads for a second and make a round of applause for the guy? He's incredible and his script, voice and phrasing are so exceptional I don't ever need to see a video twice

I wish I could use this layout for Drum-Rack, so I would be able to have access to (at least) 8 sounds in the step sequencer at once. You can work around this by using a midi clip on another track, triggering Drum-Rack on another track, but.... Come on ABLETON you can do it, it´s just one more layout!

Is there a way to select more than 8 bars in the loop selector view?

[chrisliddiard]

wow - i didn't know this was a thing till now.

[MadelnMachines]

Can select a scale first to make sure all of the notes conform to a scale before you start step sequencing them?

[skiltywibble]

How do you exit the step sequencer and get back to note mode?

[kevinbranson]

Is the melodic step sequencer available on all MIDI tracks, or only certain instruments? I made a track that was used from splices from a simpler, and it's not looking like the step sequencer is working.

Hey another great tutorial, Thanks to all at Ableton for creating a truly awesome DAW that allows for more creative writing time instead of draining technical/DAW learning time! If possible pop over to my channel (kesa online) and check out my Ableton live set, Thanks again.

Very unintuitive. Hope a new Launchpad gets released soon. Push is ancient garbage.
