Live 9.1 introduced “Step-Automation”, with Push and it´s note sequencer you can P-Lock (aka Step-Automation, aka Step-Envelopes, aka Envelopes) any+unlimited parameter you have configured.
So if you have for ex. cofigured the OB´s “cut-off” parameter in Live´s plug-in window you can p-lock it in Live´s sequencer.
As mentioned in “dataline on Ob” you can step-automate the performence parameters too, that is not possible with the unit itself.
parameter locking can’t ever be the same off-unit as it is on unit because it’s relative on the unit and absolute externally
.
if you raise a value for a step on device, it blips for a single step
if you raise a value for a step length externally it lifts the value up
.
sound locking would only be achievable if there were a specific command which worked in the blip(associated with trig length) manner per above - I don’t see that coming, you can obviously cc lock most of a sound per ‘step’ but it won’t spring back to the underlying device patch (as on in box locking)
.
that’s why it’s so good : )
what if you set up a keyboard split so that pitch corresponds to patch… then I’m assuming you could get a few splits in there and foe p-lock from patch to patch in ableton.ex: drum sounds.
In Ableton Live it is quite easy to setup modulation envelopes to mirror the action of Elektron parameter locks (i.e. change the value of a parameter from its existing value to a new value only for the length of a step and then return to original value) and it is not something that requires a Push.
