You must be joking or one off the guys that havent discovered logics enviroment yet. Īs someone else said, the MIDI routing in Live is fantastic, much much better than what Logic offers. Those things aren't really sequencing per se though. And the MIDI effects and M4L open up a lot of possibilities.

But the way Live does it is consistent with the way it treats audio clips.Īs someone else said, the MIDI routing in Live is fantastic, much much better than what Logic offers. For the same reason, cutting MIDI clips up into pieces doesn't work nearly so simply and easily as it does in Logic. I end up with bigger MIDI clips than I'd like sometimes because of it. The way that Live handles notes that hang over the beginning and end of clips in the arrangement can be a pain sometimes (it doesn't play notes that start before the Start marker for the clip, and it cuts notes short that hang over the End marker). There's a lot that can be done with that that's hard to do any other way. I wish that Live handled polyphonic aftertouch and let you modulate stuff in some of the instruments with it. The fact that there is no raw event view where you can see the MIDI data numerically like you can on an MPC or in Logic's event window seemed like a big deal to me at first, but somehow I haven't been hampered by it much in reality. The CMD- and OPT-arrow keys for example do some interesting stuff.

There are quite a few keyboard shortcuts in Live's piano roll, and it's worth learning them. It took a long time for me to get templates I like set up, and even build some M4L devices to help with small things, but since then I've gotten so comfortable in the piano roll that now when I go back to Logic I'm frustrated about how cumbersome it is to do some operations in the piano roll there. I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised. I used Logic for years as a MIDI sequencer, and an MPC4000 before that, and I hesitated a long time about switching to Live precisely because of its MIDI sequencing capabilities.
