 Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2007 9:24 am Post subject: How can I replicate a simple pattern? |
 |
|
Hi all,
I have a silly issue that I would love some feedback on.
I had a great pattern that jamstix generated for me. I use Ableton v6 so I saved the pattern as MIDI. I thought I had a clean midi output but it seems to be slightly off from the original (the last beat or so in the pattern is off).
I would like to get that pattern back, however, unfortunately I made a change to jamstix before I saved my latest copy, so I can't seem to get that great pattern back.
I actually have a mp3 of what the good pattern sounds like (however, with some other instruments in the mix as well).
I can't navigate around jamstix that well yet so I was wondering if anyone can offer advise? Or even help me re-build that pattern.
Any feedback would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
A |

Surely, if it's just the last beat of the pattern that is wrong, you can simply use a midi editor to put it right?
Given the way it works, I would have thought the chances of JS generating exactly the same pattern twice are pretty remote (certainly as far as 'free jam' mode is concerned).

Hi! 
IMO I can´t be bothered with Midi in Live 6 because it´s still simply broken.
When you export Midi or record JS´Midi Output the result simply isn´t like it´s supposed to be.
Ableton was not able (pun intended) to fix this issue from Live 5 to 6. Let´s wait for 7 then.
Otherwise I love this host.
The good thing:
With JS 2 midi editing in your host will become more or less unnecessary, because of its built in step sequencer features. |

Thanks for your feedback guys.
I knew there were some issues with MIDI and ableton. But, I thought the work around was to simply export the MIDI....not record the MIDI out. I guess that is not the case.
Unfortunately it is not just the last beat...but it is the last few beats.
I guess I am now wondering if there is any way to get that same pattern I generated in free jam? I have all of the same backing tracks that were used to generate the initial pattern. So my guess that is a large help.
Any more ideas would be great.
Thanks!

Send me an MP3 of the pattern and I'll do my best to match it.
