CHAPTER 19. CLIP ENVELOPES 266
Choose MIDI Ctrl from a MIDI clip's Device chooser and use the Control chooser below
it to select a specic MIDI controller. You can create new clip envelopes for any of the
listed controllers by drawing steps or using breakpoints. You can also edit clip envelope
representations of controller data that is imported as part of your MIDI les or is created
while recording new clips: Names of controllers that already have clip envelopes appear
with an adjacent LED in the Control chooser.
Live supports most MIDI controller numbers up to 119, accessible via the scroll bar on the
right side of the menu. Note that devices to which you send your MIDI controller messages
may not follow the conventions of MIDI control channel assignments, so that Pitch Bend
or Pan, for example, will not always achieve the results that their names imply.

Many of the techniques described in the following section on unlinking a clip envelope from
its associated clip can be adapted for use with MIDI controller clip envelopes.
19.5 Unlinking Clip Envelopes From Clips
A clip envelope can have its own local loop/region settings. The ability to unlink the
envelope from its clip creates an abundance of exciting creative options, some of which we
will present in the rest of this chapter.
