BONUS TIP: If you set up a new midi track and select "all ins" and set it to the chord trigger track, record arm both and you'll get all the notes in the piano roll!

I'm having trouble following this, what exactly does "set it to the chord trigger track" involve, please? I currently get the same MIDI output in the new channel's piano roll as in the original piano channel (just single notes). Thank you!

@@mykem Let’s say you only have one track in Ableton, the track with the chord generator on it and you’ve named it “chord trigger” and you’re using Operator as the instrument on it. Create a new, blank midi track and on the right hand side of the page where the track says “all ins” click that and select your chord trigger track. It might say 1 - Operator. Record arm both tracks and the new midi track will record with ALL the notes for the chords inside it as you play. - If you’ve already generated your notes on “chord trigger” you only need to record arm the track underneath, it’ll listen to the track above and generate the corresponding notes.

I play guitar and am learning piano (midi) keys but have found producing quality chords difficult. I'm so happy I found this tutorial you rock my friend.

Does the tool take voice-leading into account. If not, your chords will remain wanting of "quality." (An ironic turn of phrase.)

Love the channel. I switched to Ableton a week ago from Cubase/Maschine after seeing so many people I like use it. Cubase has a chord pad function which would be great in ableton. Chord pad can assign any chord to one key, it also has chord progression presets and you can change/edit each chord and the voicing…ok I miss that feature. One other way to make it quicker is to use a Komplete Kontrol keyboard press scale and you have whatever scale you want and multiple chord progressions. I think Arturia has a keyboard that does the same thing Either way I’m sticking with Ableton, great work flow and intuitive to learn

maybe this comment reaches you quite late but I write it anyway: There is a free MIDI plugin called ripchord (by trackbout) which exactly does the things you described Chord pad does. Hope this still helps. ;-)

The possibilities in Ableton are for sure endless... and that's why I use it for so many years. But what you are showing here to generate chords is a good alternative but this turns out to be so more complicated then just play a few chords and try it out by ear (if you have no music education) until it sounds good. You will come to results much faster if you will not be afraid to press a few wrong keys/notes while trying but you will be amazed when you learn a key combination that sounds actually very good. You learn that way and get to results much faster.

Is it possible to have a base pattern alter pitch to follow the chord root notes in live?

@hanneswinkler8358 Жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot Will. Great video. Do I understand right: The cord setting at Ableton follows the circle of fifths? Or: How can I set up the correct circle of fifths within Ableton? One more question: Is there a better alternative to Splice? Cheers.

any way to use the scaler function but when I record da note it would print all the midi notes instead of just one, So I could edit the chord later

@@benavanzato5127 yeah resample on another midi track, on that second midi track over at the right side of the screen you select the first midi track and “post fx”.

Hi, does anyone know how to find and download the auto chord progression rack as well as the strum effect rack? I've hunted on Patreon but cannot find them. I'm a beginner and just joined today.
