Ableton Live:Step input record

To step input MIDI notes into Ableton Live do these things. (Added in Version 8)

1. Add a MIDI track then record enabled it and select an empty clip or one that contains MIDI data.

2. In the MIDI editor enable the MIDI note listen button.

3. If you intend on recording with a computer keyboard instead of a MIDI controller then you will need to click the appropriate icon (see image)



4. Set Live's grid value

Now use the mouse and click on the MIDI keyboard display in Live(this will make the editor active for the next step). Using your MIDI controller (or the A-L keys on your computer keyboard) press the notes you wish to input and then push the right arrow on your computer keyboard to enter the notes, or the left one to delete them.
