***Creating Silent Clips for dummy channels***ġ.

Repeat step 5 for each pattern you want to use in Glitch.

As illustrated, the D-02 clip (the second Glitch Pattern) has a follow action set to 'First' and a pattern envelope set to about 8%.Duplicate the clip, and set your pattern envelope and follow action for the pattern you want to use. Also, in the Glitch VST, make the first pattern of the 16 presets a 'blank' where no effects are playing.ĥ. Set the pattern envelope to the very bottom. Make sure the silent measure is on top of your stack of clips (in mine, it's called D-INIT) and make sure that 'Loop' is off. That's how dummy clips work they are 'playing' the silent track while they are also automating effect parameters.Ĥ. Record a single measure of silence (see the breakout at the bottom for how to do this). This will ensure that our dummy clips will be able to affect the whole range of values for the pattern parameter (just trust me).ģ. Next, move the 'Pattern' parameter of the Glitch instance all the way to the max. Be sure to set the Monitor 'In' on the dummy clip track.Ģ. The 'Audio To' of the first track (our 'Deck' track) is routed to the 'A-SUB' track, which contains our Glitch instance. As you can see, we have two audio tracks set up.The method described below should be able to be used on nearly any compatible Live device or VST, not just Glitch.

In this particular HOWTO, we are going to be using Dummy Clips (see for a more detailed explanation of dummy clips in Live, thanks to Condra). This short writeup is going to address, in a step-by-step fashion, a method for setting up and using dBlue Glitch for use with Ableton Live. Short writeup I did on controlling dBlue Glitch via Live dummy clips.
