Ableton/Live/UG/27 Clip Envelopes/01 The Clip Envelope Editor
- Open the Envelopes tab in Ableton/Clip/View.
- The Device chooser picks a category:
- audio clips — "Clip" (sample controls), each effect in the track, and the mixer;
- MIDI clips — "MIDI Ctrl" (controller data), each device in the track, and the mixer.
- The Control chooser picks a control within it. LEDs mark envelopes that have been changed; Only show adjusted envelopes shortens both lists.
- Session clips show Automation and Modulation toggles below the choosers. Arrangement clips only take modulation here; their automation lives in the track's automation lanes.
- Drawing and editing work as for automation envelopes; see Ableton/Live/UG/26 Automation.
- Clear Envelope in the editor's context menu, also reached with
Cmd+Delete (Mac) / Ctrl+Backspace (Windows), returns an envelope to default. - MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset (Options menu or Sample Editor context menu) resets certain MIDI controller values when a new clip starts.
