Ableton Forum

PC users of the hybrid version: Are there any?? I use a windows xp machine, soon upgrading to win7. One day when I grow up, I'll move back over to Apple, but for now I have what I have. I am very interested in the ultralite hybrid, but I want to hear from some PC users as to how well the usb interfa...

I want to point out that with Traktor, using timecode is dependent on purchasing Traktor Scratch, and Traktor Scratch will only work with NI sound cards. For 4 turntable functionality with Traktor scratch, the Audio8 is required. Timecode will not work without NI's hardware plus the additional licen...

Ben_Binary.... FTW!!!

I suspect the continental difference has more to do with the prevalence of hiphop dj's (and clubs) in the US.

Yes, it looks pretty freakin cool! I was in the beta circle for M4L, but when it was all said and done, I couldn't come up with enough NEED to pay for it. I'm poor. One day though, you and lots of other smart people will come up with stuff that I MUST HAVE, and then I'll get it! Maybe your template ...

Clip start Clip stop Still deciding. Maybe a bass kill per channel for dj'ing... Ch Clip view Ch Rack view Ch select for upper knobs/buttons (using bome's to remember all of the params and flash them on ch change) Ch select for lower knobs/buttons (default function in apc generic mode) I'm consideri...

I have both and so the thing is, if I'm going to spin with control vinyls, I overwhelmingly prefer serato. If I'm going to dj with midi controllers etc, then I use ableton, simply because it's so much more kickass than traktor. I'm really looking forward to what the bridge has to offer, but I think ...

So far, yes. I'm hoping that after the super duper bug fix edition comes out, I can go back to using the clip matrix, but otherwise, I like my template better. There are two things that I observe to be different when the APC is not running in native mode. One is that my cpu utilization for a given p...

Rabalder: I detail how to manipulate the light ring modes in http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=134910&p=1068200&hilit=light+ring+trick#p1068200 As AeonFlux points out in the post above, the documentation exists in the pdf manual for the APC40. You'd need to write some conditio...

Thanks for making my night even better!!!

I've owned NI dj'ing products since Final Scratch 2. I own Traktor/Scratch Pro with an Audio8 sound card today. I use the Audio8 for doing stuff with Ableton in live scenarios. I also own Scratch Live. When it comes to DVS, Serato has it nailed. Also, Native Instruments has a terrible track record i...

I have done it both ways, but ultimately I find that running the apc in native mode with Bome's mods makes Ableton unstable. I get way more glitches, pops, and cpu spikes with the APC configured as a control surface. I believe it has to do with all of the midi traffic, particularly with Bome's creat...

Ahhh, dammit. I had the doc, and was using it to play with the various APC modes via sysex. I didn't notice the bits about the light rings though and therefore felt very clever for figuring it out the hard way...
:oops:

Thanks!!

I've been working on a Bome's preset for my APC40 and I accidentally discovered the way to change the way the LED rings work. In order to change how the light ring displays, you send the following message for each light ring you want to manipulate. Channel - Knob CC# +8 - (value of 0 = off) (value o...

So.... Does anyone here know how I can get Ableton to spit out the status of all currently mapped controls? I am looking for a behavior similar to what the shift button does on the apc40. When you release the shift key, ableton dumps not only the status of the apc's native controls, it will also spi...
