Two Minute Ableton Live Tip #22: Group Unfold with Akai APC40
Unfold and Fold Groups in Ableton Live Using the Akai APC40
The Akai APC40 is an excellent Ableton Live controller. With it you can access just about any parameter inside of Live. I've been using one for over a year and a half and it has helped me take Ableton to the next level. Just a few weeks ago, I learned something I never knew. You can unfold and fold groups right from the APC40! It's as simple as holding down the track select button for a couple of seconds. Watch in the video below as I give a full explanation. Enjoy!
All the sounds in the video were made with the AfroDJMac Wind Chime Synths for Ableton.
A collection of Instruments, all created from samples of a beautiful set of high-end WindChimes. The sound is natural, alive and organic.
The Live Pack has 5 Instrument Racks, 4 Drum Racks, 4 Audio Effect Racks. Also included is AfroDJMac’s 4-song WindChime Ambience EP, created using only the WindChimes Pack, and the Ableton Live Projects used to create the songs.
All sounds in video above created with this pack.
Free Max for Live Plug in for APC40!
Here's a little bonus for you Max for Live Users out there. It's a plug in that lights up the stop button any time a clip is playing on that track. If you have ever scrolled down your Ableton set and lost sight of which tracks are playing clips, this one is for you. Once you use it, you'll wonder why the APC40 didn't ship with this useful indicator. Here is the free download from Tomoran. Get lots of great free Max for Live Plugs over at Maxforlive.com!
