Ableton/Live/UG/15 Tuning Systems/03 MIDI Track Options for Tuning Systems
- With a tuning loaded, MIDI tracks gain tuning options in their I/O section for track and controller setups.
- Bypass Tuning makes one MIDI track ignore the tuning; its clips show 12TET notes in the piano roll.
- Tracks containing Drum Racks bypass the tuning automatically.
- Track Tuning MIDI Controller Layout chooses which controller keys play which notes of the tuning, so an external keyboard lines up with the piano roll:
- All Keys — every key plays a tuning note.
- Black Keys Only — centred on C#3.
- White Keys Only — centred on C3.
- Closest in Pitch to Keyboard — each key plays the nearest tuning pitch.
- Custom Controller Layout — set your own with the … button, which opens Configure MIDI Layout.

- Custom layouts are saved with the Live Set.
