Live 10 introduces a simple way of organising your browser. This allows you to work on ends of pads without the need to play the clip from the very start. Now you can start playing the track in the middle of a MIDI note and it’s going to be triggered. Before, MIDI notes used to be triggered only if they were played from the start. This feature is useful when you’re working ends of long sustained MIDI notes, like pads. The colours of the notes are the same clip colours so you can tell which notes belong to which clip. All you need to do is select a clip on each of these tracks and the notes will appear in Clip View. This means that you can edit your lead melody, pad and bass notes all at once. With Live 9 you can edit multiple MIDI clips at once. In case you want to use a different part than Live’s guess, you can always go back in time in the clip.Ī “captured” part with previously played parts on the left. All you need to do is hit the “Capture” button after you play something you want to save and it will be saved automatically. To avoid this problem, Live now secretly records everything you play, even if you don’t hit record. After that I couldn’t play it the same way anymore and I would get frustrated. This used to happen to me all the time - I would improvise and accidentally find something awesome, but then I’d find out I forgot to hit record before playing. It could be useful to subtly warm up a vocal, add drive to a guitar part or add harmonics to a bass synth. This effect gives you the sound of overdrive, distortion and fuzz guitar pedals. It’s got plenty of features including noise, modulation, saturation and even reverb. It’s a fancy new delay effect which combines the classic analog feel with modern digital sound. It also allows you to dial in bass boom at a specific frequency with decay control for extra character.

Drum Buss combines these effects into one, allowing you to give character to your drums more easily. The most often used effects on drum groups are compressors, saturators and transient designers. Other features include morphing wavetables, a Sub section and two filters - one for each oscillator. Its modulation section consists of two envelopes and two LFOs which can be mapped to any parameter in the synth. It’s similar to Xfer Serum - it uses wavetables for its two oscillators. Live 10 introduces a powerful built-in synthesizer.
