Ableton Note

this app really positively surprised me with how easy it is to sketch ideas and even make music that sounds finished! i love that all presets are from ableton and transfer to pc is so easy. as a beginner in music, this app really helped me to learn how to play and match instruments together. bc of the limited instruments choice, i’m forced to choose whatever rather than spend hours looking for perfect one lol but also i feel like presets were consciously chosen and very often i find it easy to find instrument that fits to my melody. for effects im also glad that it’s a limited choice and i have to be focused more on making the melody. i really lack some functionality for MIDI tho, like just creating notes without playing them, some midi transform options, but i understand it should be hard to include everything. overall its a great app i recommend it to everyone!!!

Приложение супер! Но очень не хватает русского языка. Добавьте пожалуйста!

I love Ableton Note, but I would like to see: -Scale Finder - I play something without scale, and after that I can see list of scales that fits my melody and select that. Because sometimes It just takes me too much time to find scale of What I played. -Notepad - simple Notepad.

Window doesnt always show up when button pressed, sometimes it needs more than one press to show up on iphone 13 Thank you for this app And will be awesome if you add some advanced midi stretching tools, and percentage for quantisation applying

So good for sketching drums; syncs perfectly with Ableton; most intuitive ui - the best imo. One crucial thing you can’t do though is sketching a song with vocals because there is no audio tracks like there is in Live. Would love to see it in future updates 🙌

I will give 5 stars as The design is on point. I need midi fader mapping cause now only midi notes work.

I think it’s a great concept, but why doesn’t Ableton bring Live IOS ? The iPads have the power , but lacking the applications. Ableton Note is just that..an awesome musical sketch pad for those who want to work anywhere. It’s got a lot under the hood for creating ideas and once it’s done, bring it to another level in Live 11. It’s awesome!

Missing basic funcionalities - for example changing note length or saving presets

Importing external samples into the app should be easier.

I bought the app as soon as I heard about it, and it’s just awesome. But, when it comes to sketching music ideas, my usual process is writing a beat, then sketching a guitar part and a vocal idea on top. That’s what I would usually want to transfer into Live for future work. Right now, it’s not possible as there are no audio clips, which I hope is somewhere on top on the In Progress feature list, as it’s a crucial feature for demoing in my specific case. Besides the lack of audio clips - this is by far the best app for making music with a very well-defined purpose, I really love how it integrates with Live, and how intuitive it is, also the fact that synths and effects get transferred to Live. So yes, eagerly waiting for audio clips, while using the app anyway, that’s what we, Ableton users, know how to do best :) Edit: thank you for the response! What you mentioned is samples for drums and samples to be pitched and used like instrument. I was referring specifically to audio clips (e.g. a guitar loop that can be triggered in the clip view, like the midi clips)
