In the video below, I am going to show you how to make an Ableton MIDI octave sweeper. This is a great tool to use to change octaves easily with the turn of a knob. It is faster than dragging an Ableton pitch effect from the browser then entering the correct transposition or changing the octave in manually in the VST plugin. I found difficult and time consuming to change MIDI octaves when creating layers of synths in Massive or other VSTS on multiple tracks. While my melody or chord progression was playing in the background, I would scroll through sound banks in a synth. Sometimes I would find the right sound, but it would be in the wrong octave. This Ableton octave sweeper makes it easy to change octaves to achieve the desired sound. I also show you how to set it as a default effect for your MIDI tracks so when you add a new MIDI track it will always be there.
UPDATED: there is a faster way to make this using the chain selector, see the description at the bottom.

Quick Quak Pitchweel Plugin for quick Audio Transposition:
As DJKotek on reddit mentioned, there is a faster way to make this using chains to control the rack. Just drag a "Pitch" effect into the empty midi track. Right click on the top of the pitch effect and select "group". Push the show hide chain list button on the left of the rack. Right click the pitch chain and duplicate it 7 times to create 7 pitch chains. Set up each pitch effect to be a different octave. Then, make sure "chain" is selected in the chain list where it says "Key, Vel, Chain, Hide" on the top of the rack. Drag one chain "zone" to 127 in the "chain selector ruler". Right click on the "chain selector ruler" and select "Distribute ranges evenly". Right click on the chain selector ruler and choose "Map to Macro 1".
