I wonder if you guys could help me with this. What I want to be able to
do is mess around on the virus, tweak
automation, and have everything I do recorded in Ableton as either midi
or automation so I can go back and edit it later.
Now as far as I see it there are two ways to go here
1.
Sequencer mode. Would be the best option, but ableton only records
parameters that have already been registered for automation. That's a
bit of a game killer. Is there a workaround - a template or script or
something? Or has it been fixed in Ableton 9 (I'm still on 8 )?
2.
Single mode (& presumably if I got this to work I could get multi
to work too). This succeeds in recording all automation as midi CCs but
with the disadvantage that initial state of those CCs is not recorded.
So if you modify a parameter, when it comes to playback, you have lost
the initial value. Is there a workaround for this - without knowing in
advance which CCs you will modify - like a button to send all current CC
values at once? Or an option to do so every time a patch is loaded?
Any help much appreciated.
