Ableton/Live/UG/36 Push 2/14 Clip Mode
- Clip mode adjusts the selected clip. On an audio track with no clip, Push prompts you to load a sample.
- The display takes the clip's colour and name. Drum notes show in their pad colours; note opacity shows velocity. The view scrolls with a playing clip.
- The second upper button toggles Loop. On: Loop Position (where the loop starts), Loop Length, and Start Offset (where playback starts within the loop; it moves with Loop Position when they coincide). Off: Start and End of the region played once.
Shift adjusts in 16ths. - Encoder 1 zooms around the last position control touched.
- Audio clips also have Warp Mode, Gain and Transpose (
Shift for cents, which sets Detune in Live). - Clip mode shows played or sequenced MIDI for review and editing; the display changes with the pad layout.
- Every layout adds Crop, which deletes material outside the loop.
- In the 64 Notes, 64 Pads and 64 Slices layouts, the display shows incoming notes, folded so every note fits. Session mode shows the same view.
- In the step sequencer layouts, a translucent white box marks the sequenceable area — one page of steps. A box at the far left shows its pitch range.
- Lines at the far left show where the clip has notes, thicker where there are more, so notes can be found without the computer screen.
36.14.3.1 Melodic Sequencer
- Eight notes per page. Move the area sideways with the loop length pads or Page Left/Right, and up or down with the Octave buttons or touch strip.
36.14.3.2 Melodic Sequencer + 32 Notes
- The display fits every note in the clip and highlights where selected notes sit. Move sideways with Page Left/Right or the loop length pads (fifth row while holding Layout).
- In the drum and slicing Loop Selector and 16 Velocities layouts, only the selected pad shows; move sideways with the loop length pads or Page Left/Right, and pick a different pad to change rows.
- Hold a step in any sequencing layout: the display zooms to its page, highlights its notes, and the encoders set:
- Nudge — offset from the previous grid line as a percentage; negative is early;
- Length — coarse, and Fine length;
- Velocity.
- Hold several steps to edit them together (the display shows the range); hold an empty step and turn an encoder to create a note with those settings.
- For drums, hold Select, press a pad, and adjust every note that pad plays.
