Ableton Note

A place to start musical ideas

Published by: Ableton

Description

Note is a place to form ideas, experiment with sounds and find direction. Get your ideas out or play until inspiration hits using a selection of Ableton Live’s drum kits, synths and melodic instruments. Or create your own sound palette by recording the sounds around you into Note’s sampler instruments using your phone’s microphone.
Take your ideas further by sending your projects to Live without leaving the app using Ableton Cloud. Open projects from Live’s browser and keep working – you can edit all your MIDI notes, and all your samples and sounds from Note are exactly the same. Ableton Note users will receive a free license for Ableton Live Lite – simple, intuitive software used by musicians, producers and DJs around the world to write, record, and perform.

Begin with a beat:
• Choose from 56 Drum Sampler kits
• Tap out a beat using the 16-pad grid
• Quantize your beat to fix loose timing
• Nudge notes to correct mistakes
• Add more layers of rhythm
• Create beat repetitions with Note Repeat
• Change parameters to shape your sound

• Change parameters to shape your sound
• Add effects to experiment with sound design
Sample your environment:
• Create your own kits by recording percussive sounds into Note’s Drum Sampler
• Record tonal sounds to create your own Melodic Sampler instruments
• Manipulate your samples by cutting, filtering or repitching them
• Shape or transform your sounds with effects
• Import your own samples or audio directly from videos
Capture improvisations:
• Play something, then tap the Capture button to keep it
• Play at a tempo that feels comfortable and Note will detect it
• Note will recognize the length of the phrase and create a loop
• Quantize it, add to it, or change the sound
• Connect MIDI hardware to play keys and change the sound of your instruments
Create variations:

Ableton Note Reviews

Great app and want more

Marikoe Johnson on

Netherlands

Love the app and i think the workflow is pretty great and i would love to see this app on other mobile platforms like droid

Samples changed

RAZORBEATZ on

Netherlands

When playing back the song is perfect.. but when its exported then it plays your chopped samples or it replaces samples for no reason wich makes it unusable… good product bad execution.. this happend btw with the new update.. hadden had it before! So 1 star

If only it worked with airpods

Skurdd on

The idea is great and the app works very well. Keen to see what they add in terms of usability and interface. Biggest step up would be to remove latency with airpods, but I guess that’s on Apple.

Thanks Ableton Team

This app is so much fun!! You totally get the ethos of the amazing Ableton UI/UX design so things are familiar but you’re way more limited - which I think is fantastic. I caught myself making more interesting choices because of the limitations and I really love the workflow. In addition, the instruments and effects are top notch quality, you can actually dive deep into sound design on a tiny iphone screen. Thanks team and keep it up :)

Great, could be better

When I use Note, it is mostly while using wireless headphones. I do experience latency which makes playing your notes a little harder than it needs to be. It would help if the clip had gridlines, that just like Live are able to fluctuate between 1/16 and 1/8T for example. It would really help if also, in the case of latency, you could draw notes, with a piano roll option. This would feel more natural if you could also use Note horizontally. Maybe the Sampler could also chop samples, or maybe you can slice recordings to a drum pad. For the rest I really enjoy the app and it’s exactly what I was looking for!

A lot of bugs

Most releases have a lot of bug, poor quality control

Great sketch pad, hoping for sample drag and drop

hubertoef on

Netherlands

I really like this app as a sketch pad. A better way to add or edit note events would be nice. However, I think the greatest beneficial addition would be the ability to drag and drop samples onto pads, or a way to easily browse and pre-hear samples stored elsewhere on the device.

Great app, please continue…

Great app. I actually use it :) Would be great if midi was added.

Great way to start your idea

MausB on

Netherlands

Very creative way to start sketching and create your musical idea. Make drums with field recordings. Sounds are great. Deep and organic. You can finish your track in Live through the Ableton Cloud.

Great idea, but ableton should do better

Joepsz on

Netherlands

Many Ableton users have been begging for an iOS (companion) app for years, and now it’s finally here. It feels like a very minimal start, but with great potential. I’d love to see more creative inputs that help deal with the limitations of mobile devices. E.g. tap a rhythm and then set the pitch, or vice versa. Or hum to input a melody, things like that. Compared to other apps, the input lag is bad. Also, the piano input size is weirdly huge on my iPad. Editing the piano roll and the notes feels awkward. No way to make changes to samples. It definitely has some cool and innovatie ideas, but I kind of hoped for something more. I really hope Ableton won’t give up on this app, as I expect people to have mixed reactions. Please properly invest in this and allow it to reach its full potential!
