When Live 11 came out I decided the new features were not exactly critical for me, so thought Iād wait to upgrade and save some money. It was tricky to hold off, but I now just upgraded to 11 with the free upgrade to 12. Nice that Ableton allow you to skip versions like this and still pay the same priceā¦ I think this might be the way I approach upgrades where possible.

does ableton normally offer an upgrade discount somewhere along the road if i donāt jump on the preorder?
At least before they had regular summer sales or similar with discounted Live / upgrade prices.

Yes, but itās very infrequent, so consider if waiting a year to get the same deal is worth it. They also offer payment plans now which I took advantage of!

i think i can hang on for a year or so (but hopefully less). i had preordered the 12 upgrade before spectres and the Max/RNBO sale were announced and all three is just outside of my budget right now. iām thinking 12 is the least essential for my needs at the moment, so iāll probably end up canceling my preorder

Hi !
Is there a M4L (or native ?) way to multiply MIDI Notes so that when I play one, I get more copy of the same note ? A sort of Midi unison, without detuning or whatever could be addedā¦
I am playing with looping parts of a sample in simpler, using Midi Expression Random generator for Start point and Loop length.
Right now I would love to be able to play and loop various parts of the sample at the same time (without having various sets of Midi Expr + Simpler in an instrument rackā¦).

How about a chord device, set to play an octave up (or down)?

Have you thought about just using āSamplerā instead of āSimplerā? āSamplerā is more or less just a bunch of Simplers asignable per notes so my impression is you could acheive what you want with it, at least reading your description of what youāre after thatās what I would be using. But maybe I didnāt understand the goal cause Iām not sure how duplicating/copying midi notes would solve it in a first place so sorry if thatās the case 
.
Problem is that Ableton instruments donāt allow multiples of the same note. Do they ?
You can always duplicate the chain.
Thanks for those quick responses !
Yes that was my first solution, and it works, but Iād like to be able to not have the sample played at different octavesā¦ In the meantime it gives nice results !
I tried Sampler, but I donāt think I can modulate the parameters that interest me in this one (starting point, loop length
Yes, thanks, I got that after trying for a while.
I understand that it would be hard to āsortā the MIDI Off messages, but that could still be interesting.
Anyway thanks !

Iām not in front of my computer right now but Iām almost certain this is possible in Sampler!

I just tried it and unfortunately it isnāt possible. Somehow these parameters canāt be modulated in Sampler, only in Simpler.

Thatās such an odd limitation! Thanks for checking it out. I guess multiple instances of simpler in different chains each asigned to a note zone in an instrument rack is the way to go about it then (which is a bummer since in many ways this is like replicating a proto-Sampler!)

The real problem is that instruments themselves are not able to produce twice the same note simultaneously.

This is really strange indeed as the MIDI specification allows triggering the same note multiple times, so it should not be an unusual scenario.

Not sure if you already knew but this you can achieve by grouping the instrument and duplicating it inside the group. I often layer things like this, creating multiples of the same instrument with a bit different settings.

Yes, I actually suggested it a few posts above.
