In this video we're going to have a look at some of the additional features
of the 'note' mode and the step sequencer that were introduced in 9.6.2 and 9.7.
So, before we start, please make sure that you have updated to the most current version of Live.
In my current project I have an analogue device loaded into track number 4.
If I press the 'scale' button, I can change the key using the buttons above and below the display,
or by using the 2nd encoder I can change the scale.
I can also change the layout of the Push pads.
Currently the layout is set to 4ths and I can change this using the 1st encoder.
With the layout set to 4ths,
what this means is I can play the 4th interval starting on the 2nd row of pads.
And with the layout set to 3rds, I can play the 3rd interval starting on the 2nd row of pads.
And the 3rd mode is 'sequent', which means that you can play 8 pads from left to right
before moving to the next row.
Not only can you change the layout of the Push pads,
but you can also change the direction in which you play them.
Currently they're set to 'vertical',
meaning that I play from left to right.
I can also change the direction to 'horizontal',
meaning that I play from the base of Push towards the top of Push.
Let's reset all these parameters
and have a look at some of the new features of the step sequencer.
In my current project, the 'fixed length' button is already flashing,
meaning that it's activated.
Currently the fixed length has been set to 2 bars.
What this means for the melodic step sequencer is that when I enter the notes
into the melodic step sequencer grid,
the current clip will be set to the same length as the fixed length,
which in this case is 2 bars.
Another new feature is setting the length
of the actual notes hat you've put into the melodic step sequencer.
To do this you simply hold down the note and press another pad to set the length.
Another feature is the ability to copy and paste notes
that you've put into the melodic step sequencer.
To do this you simply hold the 'duplicate' button and select the note.
This has now been copied, so I can now move to another section and paste it.
Let's do that for the other 2 notes as well.
Not only can you copy and paste the notes to the same positions in another part of the clip
you can also change the position and the pitch.
Another feature of the melodic step sequencer is changing the actual length of the clip.
You can change the length of the clip to uneven measures as well.
To do this, simply press the 'clip' button...
and hold down the 'shift' button while changing the loop length.
