START OF NEW FEATURES IN ABLETON LIVE 12 PIANO ROLL AND MIDI EDITING 18:37

[@jpallatin]

This piano roll is the best in business right now. If you combine all this features with MPE, MIDI comping and integration of future M4L MIDI Tools you get a MIDI powerhouse.

[@josealejandrogarciarojas1115]

Love this update :)

[@antonielowenthal8774]

Great!!

[@jaime5649]

the new piano roll alone is worth upgrading for me. this makes things way more enjoyable to make midi's. just got it

[@simplicityd8703]

Darn i was so exited for the new midi tools but intro isnt getting them :/

[@iqnill]

Reminds me of Microsoft's Songsmith.

[@ilo0076]

💯👍👏

How are you dragging and dropping a copy of the note? When you draw chords you start with one note and drag a copy to the 3rd interval. Then you drag a copy of that note to the 5th interval and make the chord. How are you doing that? What are the keyboard shortcuts you are using to do that.

[@user-mr1hm2qh6u]

Hold option and move the notes

[@simplicityd8703]

Or hold ctrl on windows when i figured it out it was a life changer

[@afrosheent3arcmichael69]

This wasn't a very thorough presentation of the new features. Forgot quite a lot. Also Flams and Grace notes are musical terms but mostly for drums. Euclidian isn't random it's patterns that evenly fit within circles because music cycles.

[@InnerHacking]

Coming from FL Studio the piano roll in Ableton is very un-intuitive. In FL Studio if I want to create more notes to the right and keep going I just mouse wheel to zoom in and out, in Ableton it's just... yew

[@gordonfreeman451]

mhm, starting to second guess switching.
