![]() Now, if you arm your track for recording and try playing in some notes, your MIDI inputs will automatically adapt to the scale G minor! So, in this case, we’d set the Base to G. In the example session, we were in G minor. Next, set the Base parameter to the root note of your scale. In our case, that’s minor.ĭrag this Scales MIDI Effect preset onto an instrument of your choice. Here, you can locate the type of key you’re working with. Head to your MIDI Effects category in the browser, and look for Scale.Ĭlick the little disclosure triangle to unfurl Scale’s presets. We’ll clue you into a useful tool a little early. This makes drawing in notes a breeze - they’ll all be in key! Not Using Live 11 Yet? If you’re less of a keyboard player and more interested in trying to draw in new parts, another new feature, Scale Folding, allows you to eliminate any notes outside of the user-defined scale from the piano roll view.Ĭlick the Scale button to the left of the loop brace to enable or disable this view. While this doesn’t automatically snap your notes to a scale in the way that quantization snapped your performance to specific rhythms, it’s still a super useful way to help diagnose issues within a performance and figure out the way notes are working within your clips. This allows you to immediately identify notes that are in the key quickly. Once these selections are made, the scale is highlighted in the piano roll editor. To see how the notes within a clip relate to that scale, we can switch on Scale Mode by clicking the button labeled Scale within Clip View. Next, we can define the root of the scale (in this case, G), and the type of scale in the choosers to the right. In the video above, Claire was using our Electronic Template project from the course, which is in G minor. Scale Mode helps us visually see how our MIDI notes relate to a scale or key within each clip. Let’s see how Scale Mode can help us make informed choices about our MIDI notes! So how do I know what notes to play on my MIDI keyboard? Fortunately, Ableton Live 11 adds a new feature that helps us figure out which pitches work in a specific scale.Īs we’ve just seen, having all the material in our session relate to a key makes things sound “correct.” When we have musical information that’s outside of that key, things can potentially sound less “correct.” With all these new sounds to explore, it’s time to start playing in some MIDI! As we start composing our own parts, knowing what notes to play can be a little daunting at first. To access this lesson plus hundreds more in-depth videos and tutorials, subscribe here.
