I made 25 clips each with a single note 25 clips is two octaves plus the top note. Trigger the clip and the note sounds indefinitely, until you stop the clip. Put a single midi note in a clip that extends beyond the end of the loop brace. I was looking for a way to do a drone, found this thread, and Angstrom's solution is exactly what I needed. Reviving an old thread that deserves to never end. ![]() If anybody knows a better way, please let us know. You can use Live's Note MIDI utility to make a note last for up to a minute, but if you want it to hold longer, you're out of luck. I use a 10-minute long note when I want a drone synth to continue playing, without retriggering, through an entire piece. It will eventually loop, but you can make it long enough so it will never reach the end during your song. The other is to create a very long MIDI note in your instrument track, and launch it. One is to use a synth that allows latching. There are two not-so-great solutions that I have found for this. ![]() However, you cannot press ONE key and have it will continue to retrigger, according to the arp settings. In the arp, you can press a key (or keys) and they will continue to sound until you change them. You can get an idea how it works if you set the Ableton Arp to "latch" (or "hold," I'm not at Live right now). Modular synths do it easily, most softsynths don't do it at all. ![]() What you describe is called "latching." It means turning a note on and leaving it on until you "unlatch" it. You raise an issue for which I have long searched for an answer.
