Ableton Forum

Hi Guys and Galls, This must be super simple... I want to be able to fire a midi note from a Ableton track and use this to generate an osc message which is sent to a piece of software outside of Ableton. I've found the Ableton connection kit OSC tools and loaded the "OSC send" M4L plugin b...

Hi there, I’m using tc-supply’s showcontrol software to link cdj’s to Ableton. Almost everything works fine but showcontrol can speed up and slow down mtc. Other software products i use to drive video can follow this but I’m getting mixed results with Ableton. Does anyone have experience with mtc th...

Hi There, I'd like to know if there is a M4L tool you guys know about that would enable me to play Ableton Scenes based on specific timecode ranges (offsets). Right now when I make Ableton listen to timecode the timecode range is directly linked to Ableton transport and this forces me to work in the...

I'm ashamed to confess but after researching this a little more I discovered the math is actually extremely easy. An example: When the midi timecode starts at 00:01:00:00 (one minute) and Ableton runs at 128 beats per minute, the song position pointer wil be at 32.1.1. Because 128 notes diveded by 4...

Have been experimenting with converting smpte to mtc and driving Ableton with this and results are promising.

Figure 53's lockstep smpte to mtc converter works like a charm.

Well, I need to be able to start clips in Ableton at certain moments in (midi) time (code) I'm receiving 3 different midi time code segments. segment 1 starts from 00:00:00:00 segment 2 starts from 00:10:00:00 segment 3 starts from 00:20:00:00 When I receive the timecode section which starts at 00:1...

Hi There, I need to be able to calculate which Ableton song position pointer value (bars, beats and subdivisions) corresponds with a certain MTC number. Of course this depends on the bpm and the time signature of the audio and the fps of the mtc. Complicated. Does anybody know of a handy (online) ca...

Hi guys, I would like to know if it's possible to get Ableton to listen to smpte and play in sync. I have a motu micro express which reads smpte and can convert this to mtc. I know Ableton can listen to mtc but I have never tried this. What are your experiences with this. Does this work flawlessly? ...

Hi There, Has anybody had some experience with linking a midi sequencer to a music conductor? I want to collaborate with a classic music ensemble but don't want to enforce something like a click track. I want the conductor to have as much freedom as he/she normally has but have my sequence stay in s...

Puzzled by this one:

I have some audio and midi clips grouped but and when I start the group the audio and midi clip start together and sometimes they don't and then they have a one bar offset.

What could be the problem!?

Thank you,

Manuel

FIXED!!!

Hi There, I want to convert midi messages. I need to send a midi note. For example: Message Chan Data Note On 1 1 126 Note Off 1 1 64 And convert it to: Message Chan Data Note On 1 126 1 Note Off 1 64 1 I want to use the note number for the velocity value and velocity value for the note number of th...

Interesting. How would one go about to configure reaper to convert audio to midi?

Ive been playing around with midi guitar and must say that its far from plug an play. Did not get good result when i was working with non guitar material. I want to work with voice and wind instruments mainly and because those are mono signals and pretty clean sinewaves I was hoping for a better res...
