Changing Pitch and Tuning per Note
Drop a sample loop from the Browser into Live and play it. Click on the Transpose quick-
chooser button. You can now alter the pitch transposition of individual notes in the sample
as you listen to it.
The fast way to do this is by enabling
Draw Mode
and drawing steps along the grid.
Deactivate Draw Mode to edit breakpoints and line segments. This is useful for smoothing
the coarse steps by horizontally displacing breakpoints.
The Transposition
Envelope with Steps
(Top) and Ramps
(Bottom).
Note that the warp settings determine how accurately Live's time-warping engine tracks
the envelope shape. To obtain a more immediate response, reduce the Grain Size value in
Tones and Texture Mode or choose a smaller value for the Transients control in Beats Mode.
To correct the tuning of individual notes in the sample, hold down the
Ctrl
(PC) /
(Mac) modi er while drawing or moving breakpoints to obtain a ner resolution.
