Urgent ableton question

[Rumblejazz]

Yo yo!

I'm freaking out, this should be easy I think.

I'm trying to do a live ableton set with MPD32 and launchpad on saturday.

It's going swell except, i'd really like the following functionality and I'm having a complete brain block.

Press a Midi button to add 1 BPM to the tempo

Press a Midi button to mius 1 BPM from the tempo.


That is all, is this possible?

Lots of love,

RJ

can you map to the tempo nudge up and down? Sorry if i missed scope of question.

[Rumblejazz]

Thanks man, but tempo nudge is only temporary, like touch the deck of a turntable, or pushing it slighty.

I've got those set up already to sync with decks.

I want to just slowly nudge up the project tempo over the course of a song.

Cheers,

RJ

not too sure,
But u could map one of the knobs on the mpd 32 to the master tempo

Unfortunatley ableton is going to screw you on the two button pitch/bpm controll.
The only way you can controll BPM is with a slider / knob since it will only allow you to map one controll to the master bpm.

As much as ableton rocks I am not to stoked on some of the internal controll mappings. I wannted to map a button to be a gatted effect but for the life of me I could not figure it out.

if anyone know how thats done I would love to know!

I'm assuming you want to put the knob in increments of one because you want finer tuning of tempo? If you map a knob on the MPD32 to tempo, you can change the parameters of that knob to meet a certain range (i.e. 120-140bpm) or change the sensitivity of how fast you turn the knob to change tempo. Another way to change tempo in a live scenario would be using scene launches.

[Rumblejazz]

yeah basically I want really fine tuning.

How do you change tempo with scene launch?

[jasonj]

on the right hand side where you have your scene triggers, right click on the scene launch and choose "set tempo"

[vondoom]

ALSO! if you're doing some crazy tempo change (i.e. dubstep to house) I throw a really cool spinback/echo clip on the scene with the tempo change! Don't overuse it but they'll go nuts.

I've been working on a max for live patch to do this for you all morning. And i'm working out the kinks right now. But i realized that i should ask... Do you have Max for Live???

The only problem, which i could probably fix, is that it goes up and down by 1.1 bpm's.

If you don't have max for live i might be able to work out a patch that works in max runtime, which i believe is free.
