116 Clip View
•Legato lengthens (or shortens) each selected note so that it is just long enough to reach the
beginning of the next note.
•Dupl. Loop doubles the material within the loop brace (as well as the length of the loop
brace itself), zooming as necessary to show the entire loop. Any notes to the right of the
loop will be moved, so that they maintain their position relative to the end of the loop.
For a more detailed discussion of MIDI editing, see the chapter on this topic (page 133).
8.3.2 Bank and Program Change
Live can send MIDI bank/program change messages to external devices and plug-ins that sup-
port MIDI program change messages. According to the settings in these controls, launching a
clip also sends its bank/program change message. If you are using Live to send MIDI to your
synth, this means that each MIDI clip in your Live Set can play a different sound on your synth.
Live offers messages for 128 banks with 128 sub-banks, each of which has 128 programs.
Please see the documentation that came with your synthesizer to determine how many of these
messages it can use. If you do not want your clip to send program or bank change messages,
simply set the bank/program choosers to “---.“
8.3.3 MIDI Loop/Region
These controls manage how the contents of a MIDI clip are played and shown in the MIDI Edi-
tor. They work the same way as those for audio clips (page 104).
In the MIDI Editor, the zoom/scroll area is located above the beat-time ruler, the scrub area just
below.
8.4 Clip Defaults and Update Rate
You can change the rate at which Live applies your Clip View settings to a running clip. Clip
View changes will be quantized by the rate selected from the Clip Update Rate chooser in the
Record/Warp/Launch Preferences. Certain clip settings, such as Launch Mode and Warp
Mode, can be set up as defaults for all new clips. This is also done in the Record/Warp/Launch
Preferences.
