So when I create a midi clip in ableton, it gives me a 4 beat loop to work with. How do I change it to a 8 or 16 beat loop so I can put more diversity into the clip?
Sure this is basic, just missing it in the UI
Thanks!
When the midi clip is open for editing at the botom of the screen, to the left of it should be a box called Clip, and a box called Notes. If the box called Notes isn’t open, click on the circle with musical notes on the Clip box.
In the Notes box:
If Loop is off - Change the End
If loop is on - Change the length
OR in the midi editing window you can pick up and drag the end loop marker.
