This Max for Live technique let’s you play MIDI chords, melodies and arpeggiated notes depending on a MIDI notes source. These source can be:
-MIDI notes from clips (Session View or Arrangement View)
-a person playing live MIDI notes e.g. from an MIDI keyboard
or any other MIDI note source (monophonic and polyphonic) which can be routed into a MIDI track into Ableton Live.
Includes 2 more devices:
Your ‘trigger’ can be electronic drums, acoustic drums (with trigger-2-Midi), a MIDI note controller, an Ableton PUSH or other MIDI hardware sending MIDI note(s).
