Bad Habits - Live looping with Arturia Keylab Essential in Ableton

[@JJJB]

Hello folks, since a lot of you were asking for a tutorial, I did a walk through video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nojJY5eBbs2dnMU Hope you like it.😄

[@mrollo]

not quiete my tempo

[@AmandaBallou]

Oh my gosh this is exactly what I want to learn how to do. I am lost at how to use Ableton and the Keylab Essential. Any chance you would do a quick walk through on how to setup?

[@JJJB]

Thanks for your interest mate. Probably I'll do a video, since I've got quite a few request on that.😀

hello i am a begiiner and wonder if i can do it like you do to record a arp to a pads diffrently sound and can play tham at the same time like you did in the video with keylab essentials ? i couıldnt find how to do it anywhere

[@worldlivestar9062]

Sir please tell me aurturia keylab essential 61 in how to transpose scale 🙏

[@JJJB]

if you mean semi tone transposing, hold down the "trans" button and press any key adjacent to middle C. The interval between the key you pressed and middles C corresponds to semi tones transposed.

[@laurelin5822]

Which keyboard is this? I need to buy it!

[@PIANOTUTORIELS]

Hello and congratulations for this video. How is the keyboard and Ableton configured? I don't have the same settings.

[@JJJB]

I just followed some tutorials on ytb and it works fine.

[@PIANOTUTORIELS]

Yes it works for me too, thank you 😁

[@JJJB]

@@PIANOTUTORIELS great

[@MarcinJaneczek]

@@JJJB hi, can you recommend something? I can't find any good for Essential version.

[@duranmxx]

Hi hope you can help me, how do you arm every next track without clicking in the arm button on the software, when i hit a pad in my keylab essential it just plays clips but it doesnt records unless I arm the track manually it manually

[@JJJB]

Ableton will arm any selected track by default. You can see me using the left and right arrow button to select the next track.

[@duranmxx]

@@JJJB Thanks man! I just found about this, this isn't a default option, I had to create an options.txt file in the preference folder with a code to enable arm on selection. This should definitely be a default option!

[@JJJB]

​@@duranmxx Yah it's possible every Live has their own temperament🤣anyway glad to know it's sorted now.

[@KenKeys-t1b]

How did you get Ableton to start recording on first note input?

[@sweatygreasemusic]

Change your global quantization to 1 bar or 1/4 bar, I hope it's help

[@mjaa1307]

He didn't, the clip record is quantized. He starts to imput notes along with the quantized beginning of the clip.

[@julienmarini1151]

Hey, how did you enable the option to start recording when you begin playing on a track?

[@JJJB]

I did a video to walk through my setup. Pls follow the pinned comment to that video.

[@AldoRodriguez]

What keylab profile do you use to loop? could you tell me? Very good!

[@JJJB]

I've uploaded a walkthrough video, pls follow the pinned comment.

[@xntricity6446]

Did you map the pads to ableton or something may i ask

[@JJJB]

No. After setting up the pads will map themselves.

[@xntricity6446]

​@@JJJB thanks, it looks like many have asked about your setup. Hopefully you can give us a quick 5 min run through please as i have not found details in KZbin how to set it up like you. Thanking you

[@JJJB]

​@@xntricity6446 Thanks for you interest dude. I‘m in the mood for that vid. Since I'm currently on travel I'll put it up soon as I'm back to studio and you could expect that possibly within this month. Cheers.

[@xntricity6446]

@@JJJB fantastic! I think it will get alot of interest as curently KZbin videos dont properly explore the interaction between keylab and ableton. It will definatly be a KZbin hit. Thanks man

[@JJJB]

@@xntricity6446 I'd be happy as long as it help out you guys a little.

[@noni852852]

congrats, sounds dope 🔥 could i ask how you managed to get the pads to trigger recording on clips? so far i'm recording loops using a foot switch, but i'd like to use the pads. the keylab's midi map is set DAW mode, yet the pads still play notes instead of clips in Ableton. any help would be appreciated 🤟

[@JJJB]

In Ableton select keylab as the control surface, and make sure to choose the daw midi port. Also a few youtube tutorials are out there so you might also want to check them out.

[@advlog992]

how to setup live loop like you ??

[@JJJB]

A bunch of video tutorials are out there on YT, just check them out.
