Hey there, I would like to play some nice sounding Ableton instruments like piano and marimba with a midi keyboard on my OT and sequence these sounds. It will mostly be basic hits without major sustain/release, modulation or other effects, just straight up raw notes. As there are many ways to achieve a goal on the OT, I thought it’s best to ask here.
I thought the easiest solution would be to choose an octave range and then prepare a MIDI track in Ableton which will play 64 consecutive notes from low to up on each key of a keyboard. I could then export the audio file to OT and set up a slice grid of 64 slices. And then set the trig mode to slices so that the four pages of trigs will effectively become a chromatic keyboard but with a broader range of notes/octaves and uncompromised sound compared to only setting up a sample with say 24 notes and then use chromatic mode and time stretching.
Will this work, provided the MIDI notes in Ableton will all have the exact same length and pause between them? Will I be able to use a keyboard for playing the 64 slices when in slice mode? Is there a better way to achieve my goal?
