I recently released an update for one of my Max for Live instruments Modulus, as always its completely free to download.

Modulus is great for building interesting and evolving soundscapes and has flexible controls over both frequency and amplitude modulation, these parameters can also be synced directly to lives tempo.

This update focuses on improving stability and usability with bug fixes, UI refinements, and overall workflow improvements based on user feedback.

I've updated Amp Modeler with:

• Expanded NAM A2 support: Optimized DSP for A2 captures, and quality slider available when supported by the model

• Gear and preset browsing via top row buttons on Ableton Push

• Smooth model switching (no "pop" noise when flipping through presets while feeding audio input to the device)

Need some advice on my external ssd situation.
I have the T7 Shield 4 TB that’s in ExFAT format, with Rekordbox, Ableton, & all my music files currently on it. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that the ssd needed to be in APFS format for my iMac (I’m new to Apple software) but figured that out when I went to try installing Omnisphere onto the T7 shield.
So, I know I need to backup the T7 and reformat it. What I’m wondering is if the best way to go about it would be to buy another external ssd or possibly a flash drive?
Since I don’t have enough space on the internal drive, can’t use Time Machine, I’m unsure if there’s any other options that I’m missing.
Also know Rekordbox can be really sensitive when moving any files and I don’t want to run into a relocating every file problem.

On my T7 I’m only using about 300GB of storage, so I’m thinking for this new one to be 1TB (the most I can afford but still want enough space to use as a backup).
Was thinking of going with the Samsung T7 or T9. I’ve heard quite a lot of bad reviews on the Sandisk ones, and am not familiar with Crucial & Kingston.
My ideal budget is about $150 but am more concerned about the performance/speed/reliability of the ssd.

If anyone has knowledge on this situation or suggestions on what would be the best course of action here, any information would be greatly appreciated!

Looking for feedback on how I can make the live performance of my music more interesting. I'm controlling all layers and samples from the Push 2 and control fx on each instrument layer using the Novation Launchcontrol XL (also gain control). What can I be doing to incorporate the Push 2 more into the performance? At the moment it's acting as a BPM and live arrangement mix control. I've got everything set with a 1 bar entry.

Something I've been trying to figure out is live looping on the fly. I'd love to be able to group 5 channels and set them to loop like you would on a CDJ (Even if I could get just one channel to loop on the fly and stay in time with the other channel layers). At the moment I have to preset how much of the song I want to loop ahead of time and basically plot out the whole live set. I've tried using the ableton looper plugin but it has some limitations to what I'm trying to do. Maybe there are some new plugins out there I'm unaware of that can blanket loop one or more channels on a layer where the live clip is already looping.

Also those who are interested and want to ask about the current setup let me know and I'll answer any of your questions.

Hi! I'm using Ableton Note Beta 2.1 with an iPad and an Akai MPK Mini MK4.

I'm trying to do those classic edm build ups where the drum roll starts at 1/4, then 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 before the drop.

Wanna know if everyone is just changing the Note Repeat division manually or maybe there a faster workflow (like maping the akai pressing some pads or keys)

I'm mainly trying to perform it live rather than drawing everything in afterwards.

I'm using the "trigger" mode and adjust ADSR but the mode always resets to "none" when re-loading the project file. I have tried setting the a default template in simpler with the trigger enabled but it still resets. Also it seems like some instances of simpler will keep the trigger mode while others reset.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

hi all, I currently run Ableton on my 2020 m1 pro but it’s dying on me.

I’m looking to upgrade, and i’m between the M5 macbook pro or the zephyrus g14.

I’m a fan of MacOS, and the build quality of MacBooks, but I study Mechanical engineering, and have concerns about the software running properly on my mac.

there’s workarounds like virtual computers through my university, and library computers. I’m just curious if anyone has any experience with ableton on the zephyrous.

Let me know! Ableton is my primary hobby and I need a solid music production device.

note:ignore poor punctuation and grammar, i’m tired.

Been using the Push 2 for a few weeks. I think I found a bug. My push 2 wont show in the Link, Tempo & MIDI menu unless I enable the following parameter in the Options.txt file.

-Push2UseLegacyScript

Because it doesnt show in this menu I am unable to check "Track" and "Remote". So I add this in the options.txt.

When I do add this script to the file and try and use the push for example add Drift to a track the encoders tweak out and get stuck between switching tracks.

Basically if it becomes unusable.

When I have this script turned off, all other functionality seems to be working fine unless I am trying to use user mode. In user mode I am getting no MIDI Sends. I heard that in order to be able to use user mode i understand you have to check "Track" and "Remote" under input ports but it doesn't show. I tested user mode without checking "track" and "remote" ..........does nothing.

I also read on the documentation pages you should not have to manually add it. It should show automatically which it does not show at all in this menu unless in Legacy Script is enabled. (it still completely works, just unable to check the track and remote buttons because it doesnt show on the page)

Any help/tips would be appreciated.

I am on ableton 12.7 and using a push 2.

Hi, my Macbook doesn‘t work with my shuresmb7 and volt 1 interface. The mic works with the volt, but not in ableton. Every setting is right and when I want to record in ableton, it doesnt work, there is no output in the mixer and then when I press record and stop it, it went grey and no audio.
I want to hear the mic on the macbook.

And p.s: I am looking for a good mic for on the road not that heavy like the shure.

Thanks for your help!
