Yes, I know.
But wasn't 1.5 Ghz and 1 gb ram the minimum requirements also for Live 7 ?

Hi,
yesterday I was trying ableton 8 demo, and it seems something isn't working properly with graphics.
I installed it without problems, but when I ran it the splash screen didn't show up. Also, on the main screen view, only the external frame was visible (the one with the live's menu's) but the ...

thanks

so... there isn't a way... or nobody knows?

As a creative process, I usually set the live's sequencer in record mode (I record MIDI for a piano vsti) and start playng and improvising with the keyboard no matter the tempo and live's metronome.
This way I feel more free and in the end I can have some nice musical phrases to further develop.
As ...

Got it! :)

There was a problem with my usb-midi (cheap esi rom-io) interface.
Switched to mi Ozonic external midi in and out, and now everything seems ok. Ableton can send midi to ozonic ext. midi out, and so does the software editor (midiquestXl), no errors saying "the port is already in use by ...

hm, ok. But why two apps can't share the same midi port?

I have one big problem with an hardware synth and ableton live.
This hw synth I have is a rack unit, and really difficult to program, so I use a standalone app on my pc that works as a midi virtual editor.
And here comes the problem:
I want to use the hw synth into live, while tweaking its ...

Hi Marcus,

if i understand you right you need something that converts the message which your controller sends to a CC#92.
That could be done with a software like Bomes Midi Translator:

That should do it, or is there a special reason why you need a VST for this?


Yes, bome's midi ...

quote from the site "VST MIDI Control Extension (MCX) is a plugin wrapper attached to the selected VST plugin that extends the plugin with MIDI controlling capabilities. The extension allows you to assign each parameter of the VST plugin to a MIDI control event (CC0 - CC127)"

I think i need just ...

Hi, I have a VSTi plug-in that has an hidden parameter. It's not a VST automatable parameter, in fact Ableton Live doesn't see it, it's a parameter that reacts only to midi cc n° 92, sent on midi channel 1.
I want to control that parameter realtime, with an hardware controller, but I don't want to ...

I know it's strange.
Here's how this transaction should be:
1) I organize shipment - a courier in Berlin picks up the hardware.
2) meanwhile he gives me his IBAN number
3) after the thing arrives in Italy I tranfer the monei into his account.

The piece of hardware is a Roland Pg-1000 programmer ...

Hi, I've just contacted a guy from Berlin who wants to sell to me (for a really good price) a piece of vintage hardware I was looking for since a looong time.
I'm in Italy, and I have to organize everything, because he says he doesn't have time.
So I have to contact some company to pick up the unit ...

ok, thanks. It's just what I wanted!
A bit tricky but, hey, isn't this the tips and tricks section?
