Say it like this

Each of these was run against a real Ableton session on every model below, and the reply is what Tine actually said — quoted, not rewritten. Switch tabs to see how the answer changes with the model.

These are a floor, not a syntax — you can be a good deal vaguer, and how vague scales with the model you run. The smaller local model wants a clear verb and a clear target; the hosted one takes the most roundabout phrasing you can throw at it.

Also in devices & sound

• Set a device parameter in real units

  Say the value the way the device displays it — "decay time to 2 seconds" — instead of converting to a 0-to-1 knob position.

• Bypass or remove a device

  A/B a device without finding its power button, or take it off the chain entirely.

• Draw automation inside a clip

  Describe the shape — a fade in over the clip, a sweep across two bars — and it's written as clip automation.
