Ableton Forum

Just want to give a +1 on this. Same issue here. Seems widespread...Will contact support.

Hi, I have a working liveset in 8.5/OSX 10.8.5 and everything runs perfectly! I've very concerned about upgrading to 9.x because the liveset is pretty complicated. I have plugins loaded (Arturia V-Collection, Vizzable, etc), I'm doing triggering via the IAC driver. I have a lot of MIDI Mappings ...

Hi xdadex, I don't know the specific software you're referring to, however, when I use the DMXIS software it checks for the interface and I believe the software is licensed to the ID of the DMXIS hardware. I suspect there might be some check in the SW to make sure the hardware is a valid DMXIS ...

Ok, Thanks for the responses. I ended up going with the Enttec DMXIS package. It included both the hardware and software and got me started quickly! I just got it and plugged it in tonight. Does exactly what I want it to do. Now I can trigger everything right from within Ableton!

Hi, I use Ableton 8 to run my live synth rig. Each song is a new scene and the scene change is triggered by the drummer sending a midi control. I just jumped the gun and bought 2 lasers to add to our live show not realizing they didn't have remotes and there is no way to turn them on/off for each ...

OMG! That is so cool! I had no idea that was all there...though I'm still confused on how to use it. If I could give any developer 1 piece of advice, make things as user friendly as possible. I used to develop a bit in a previous live and it's easy for a developer to make things work from a ...

Sounds like you're already inundated with a ton of info but thought I would put my opinions out there based on my experience. I use a hybrid approach with several HW synths as well as a few SW synths running in Live. One big reason to at least connect all of the laptops is to set up the next song ...

Hi Luisirae, I do this with several external devices and don't seem to have any clock problems. There are 2 main things you have to set up to make this work. 1-set your external midi device to accept external midi clock, 2-make sure you turn sync 'on' for that midi port. When you go into Live ...

Thanks for your input Fabrizio. I guess I should have put as one of my requirements that free or extremely cheap is required. I looked at Resolume and VDMX but they are expensive. I'm almost thinking all I need is a way to trigger quicktime files to play at a specific time. We're not beat syncing ...

Hi, Live is the heart of my live setup with my band. We don't sync directly to tracks for songs but use scenes to set up all the synth patches, provide click and sometimes we manually trigger patterns. One thing we want to start looking into is using video behind us on our live gigs. I can create ...

Thanks for the reply. I think it got fixed but I wanted to research if anything changed. Not sure what the issue was yet...

Hi,

I have been using a max effect in ableton that sends part of the text in a scene (number) description to an external max program that then turns the text into a song select message and sends it to a specific midi port. Since Ableton doesn't support song select, I had to have somebody program ...

Hi, I'm using the Arturia V-Collection instruments with Ableton Live 8. I have a number of different V-Collection plugins running in different tracks within my Live set (including Minimoog v, jupiter 8v). When I save a sound with the arp turned on, then reopen the live set in ableton and go to that ...

I wanted to circle back and thank everyone for their replies. I ended up working with prebentious. I have to say, he did a fantastic job! We ran into a few issues along the way and he stuck with it 100%. The solution changed a few times due to limitations with Live and Max. Most times, prebentious ...

Perfect! Thanks! I never used the drum rack before. It's a piece of cake.
