LK - for Ableton Live & Midi by Imaginando - AUv3 Clip Launcher Finally Available in AUM!!

gregsmith

I’ve just finally had a chance to put together a setup of LK launching atom 2 clips and it’s great! Will post a video soon.

Not sure I’ll need atom in my setup for every track but it is a nice place to start off a quick idea and has the extra depth when you want it.

I do prefer the neatness of LK’s grid to launching a grid of atoms in AUM, but atom is a super quick way to get something started. The best thing about this modular setup is that you can pick and choose which bits you want/need.

What a great time to be an iOS musician! Roll on Loopy pro!!

When I try to copy a clip using Shift drag and drop, the context menu pops up.

It makes it more difficult to drag and drop the clip.

I think the context menu only should pop up when I long press a clip without using Shift.

This is definitely one of those cases where an improvements breaks something else and we don't realize it. Thanks this report!

Thanks..

Here we go - LK launching Atom 2 clips

@gregsmith showing the way forward! This is exactly how i use the two tools. Yes, simpler in LK by itself but Atom2 is the better piano roll for me without a doubt. Best of both!

Another nice bonus is that you can use one atom instance in multiple LK clips. This is great if you’re arranging a whole song in LK as you can edit one atom instance to update all those LK clips together.
LK can still look after the automation duties on those clips.

This all feels truly modular.

Inspired by this video! Thanks!

Does anyone know a link to an LK + BM3 setup video, where an external controller is used as well ?

Also BM3 midi routing is confusing the heck out of me, once LK is in the mix the on screen pads don’t work (I’d like the external pad controller and the onscreen pads to trigger samples). Cheers.

Are you trying to load LK inside BM3? or loading as standalone and sending to BeatMaker?

I’d like to load it ‘inside’ if poss

See: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/43739/record-lk-midi-in-beatmaker-3

You will need help from the MIDI Route plug-in probably.

Thanks man. It’s the setup I’ve been dreaming of for most of the atom 2 thread so I’m just so glad it works! Next I’m gonna add the launchpad pro

Hey @sinosoidal - are CONTROLLER assignments supposed to save with the Project file ? I’ve tried a few times and ... it seems it doesn’t ?

We haven’t changed the way things are saved. We need to verify.

We haven't been able to reproduce this problem. Are you still having it? Please let us know how to reproduce. Thx!

• Prevent matrix context menu to open if shift is pressed to prevent collision with clip drag copy

Works fine in the new beta, thanks 😊

LK crossover from a Ableton only controller to iOS got me thinking if AppBC Touchable Pro would ever go that way. Is pretty highly Ableton integrated now. Would be interested to see if it could be shoehorned into iOS as a app controller.

I'm wondering if it's possible to make sure that when LK is closed in AUM that the LPPro3 would leave session mode?

Currently when closing LK in AUM the LPPro3 is stuck in session mode...
(Ie. the session light is still on even though the LPPRo3 is not connected to any session).

When I for example close Ampify Launcpad (Which also uses session mode) the LPPro3 goes out of session mode when the app is closed. The manual mentions some SysEX strings that are used to toggle session mode on/off.

I am a LP newbie so this could be a 'user error' as well...
...I've read the manuals more than once but I'm not a master of the device yet but I do love the built-in sequencer

@Samu are you in the beta? In the latest beta we have add the deinitialization of controllers on LK exit. Can you please confirm if the problem is solved? Thx!

I'm interested in videos! I've got the same setup but have no idea what to do.

Have you figured out how to use the "Geoshred" mode or PUSH mode of LP Pro for inputing MIDI to Atom or LK? That is one of my fundamental needs. (Surprisingly, you cannot do that with the LP sequencer itself!)

I have a ROLI LightPad and enjoy playing the LP Pro in a similar fashion. In certain ways, it's a plus that it's not MPC.

I'm not on the beta at the moment...
...It's not a biggie now that I know how it works.

I was just curious as even Apples Logic Pro fails to 'release' the LPPro3 when closing Logic Pro!
(Apple is aware of it but since there's no time-line for Logic Pro updates no one knows when the fix will come).

I'll tag you in another post I made regarding 'missed notes' when tapping the record button before the bar ends.
(Ie. the last held notes are not recorded if I tap the record button again before releasing the keys).

Nope I didn’t even know there was a push mode 😂
Will have a look into it.

I’ll get round to making another video soon

Just tried, works fine when closing LK.

Hi @sinosoidal , I have big problems.. no strike that: it’s impossible to get a zero value when automating pitch bend. If there’s a trick I’m missing please tell. 😳 Closest this get is 32, zero never even shows. This would be good if one could select the node and type a value as pitch are sensitive stuff. 🎹😁

In the latest beta we have added a snap to zero feature when toolbar snap function (magnet icon) is enabled. Please let me know if this helps.

Is it possible to trim a clip to the recorded notes without having to drag the notes around? I mean getting rid of the empty parts on at the beginning and end of a clip.

We have just added a crop to selection tool to the latest beta. You just need to do a selection and then clip on the crop tool button located in the composer toolbar (next to fit to viewport). Please let me know how it works for you.

@sinosoidal

The new feature crop clip to selection (new toolbar button next to fit viewport) works fine 😊

Description:

It will allow you to crop a clip to the selection. It allows you to quickly get rid of everything that is outside of the selection.

You drag to make a selection and it can include notes or not. The crop will adjust the start and end of the clip and delete any notes that are outside the area and include only those who are inside the area.

Example:

I‘ve seen the patch notes. Very cool. Sadly I won’t have time to test it for at least a week. 😞

Agreed! And thanks @sinosoidal for still making it start in the right place in the bar.
