Never thought about grouping drums for different reverb fx. TY!

Hello! I don’t understand why my second sequencer doesn’t play when I followed nd did the same thing for the first sequencer. Do you know what I might have done wrong?

Hi @alfonsin … I’m not sure what you may have done without a more detailed description - but please make sure any subsequent midi track / channel receives midi from the first. Check the midi routing etc. Also check the monitor in/auto/off. Best of luck and please reply if you have further troubles

I found my mistake! Thank you

Really helpful tutorial. I was wondering if there would be a way to randomise the note length? Obviously in this example all notes are 1/16th. Thanks

sure @neilhutcheon … check here >> Live MIDI Effect Reference — Ableton Reference Manual Version 11 | Ableton << 23.3 … the key is the random effect in any instance. It provides some fun… and umm… random control. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
