Ableton Forum

About to pull the trigger on a percussion multi-pad and I need just a little more input...I've read other forums' responses to this matchup, but I'm curious how Ableton users weigh in on this. Bonus points for specific details (+/-s about ergonomics,reliability, features, ease of use, durability, et...

Is anyone using an old Roland Handsonic HPD-15 as a midi controller for Live 10? I just acquired one and am using a cheapo Hosa Midi to UBS converter to control sounds in Live, but it is a struggle to map this thing to a very basic drum rack. Is the HPD-15 obsolete for this purpose?

Try renaming .midi to .mid, it should work.

thanks much, that did it...wonder why staffpad exports them as ".midi" files. Annoying.

Cheers!

I am new to using StaffPad and am trying to export midi files from it and import them into Ableton. I am having no luck so far. The midi file exports as ".midi" format and is "greyed out" when trying to import into Ableton. Drag and drop doesn't work either. Any idea what I might...

Great video, and I agree completely...many of us would likely appreciate a similar video showing the most efficient way to get projects/stems/tracks from Ableton into Pro Tools.

cheers!

Is there really no way to back save to an earlier version of Live for collaboration purposes? In 2018?

thanks, I think the Eventide pedals allow CV pedals to be used to control selected parameters.

Any thoughts on buying an inexpensive midi volume/expression foot controller, primarily for Eventide effects (Pitchfactor, Modfactor, Timefactor...) Anyone happy with a midi foot controller? In other words, is this garbage? https://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-EX-P-Expression-Pedal/dp/B000NLRWEI/ref=sr_1_...

Thanks for the replies, folks. I'm leaning towards a Akai MPK249 now...or maybe I should go with a less expensive keyboard and some sort of button-y/knob-y-only thing. Thoughts?

The most difficult thing is that they all seem nearly exactly the same, but I am certain that they are not. Years ago, I used the M-Audio Axiom line, and liked it, but now there are so many other options that are not simply keyboard controllers. Although I want a keyboard, I'm very interested in som...

In the market, so convince me to be the amazing controller in your setup.

Has a few quirks that, although they're not deal breakers, they make it not super appealing. The price is slightly high. The sizes available are limited, and you can't trigger the built-in sounds externally, which is severely limiting if you were hoping to use the sounds in any way other than playi...

I'm looking to get back into using Live again. I currently have Live Suite version 8.3.4 and am looking to upgrade and get a new controller. The one that seems most appealing is the Korg Triton Taktile 49, mainly because of it's built in Triton sounds and low price point. It seems, however, that it ...

Anyone have experience with DSP model of the Saffire box? I have narrowed down to these two to replace my Digi 002. I like the lightpipe option, the small portable nature of the box, and the guy at Sweetwater highly recommends them over comparable boxes. Any suggestions for or against are most welco...
