Re: Live Looping and Recording External MIDI Instruments

Try this, though I don't know how it works with external instruments and double triggering. http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/2683/midi-clip-looper Does exactly what I want, pretty much (could be a couple more features) but I'm only triggering midi inside Live, and not back out again like you...

Re: Best "on stage" midi looper for Live?

Hey RSJ, I had seen the piz Midi Looper, but the last build for Mac was 2009. Downloaded it and Jbridged it across to Live, but can't for the life of me work out how it works. Either I'm missing something, or the install went wonky. I can't believe there's not been a decent quantizable looper since ...

Re: Best "on stage" midi looper for Live?

I tried working a good way to do this onstage (midi clip and overdub), but as far as I can see it requires mouse clicks and/or keystrokes. Maybe there's a way around this I haven't seen. I tried throwing in a dummy midi-clip of the required length, then overdubbing. However, getting it to "Play...

Best "on stage" midi looper for Live?

OK tried this a little while back, but didn't get any response. No worries - now I've done a little more looping research, maybe I can ask from a position of (very limited) knowledge. I've been playing around with Looper, and it's a great device for looping audio - but I'm wondering if there's a red...

Creating Looping specific tracks for live performance

I'm building a set for playing live shows, mixing synths and clips on Ableton Live and live musicians. All good so far. I've looked and looked to try and find a solution to creating Live loops on the fly whenever we want during the set, and maybe it's straightforward and I'm just an idiot: We've got...

Re: Auto-switching Midi Controller sounds between scenes.

Double edit: Nope can't work out your blank clip idea. Would you be so kind as to expand on the explanation! Thanks!

Re: Auto-switching Midi Controller sounds between scenes.

OK nemoy - great idea for instrument rack!

Sorry to be a pain, but how do I use an empty midi-clip to automate the chain selector?

Thanks!

EDIT: No need to reply, I worked it out whilst making coffee!

Auto-switching Midi Controller sounds between scenes.

OK, I've searched through the forums and my search has proved fruitless - so please forgive me if it's up here somewhere, or if this is blindingly obvious to anyone more adept at using Live than I! We're a band using Live for sequenced synth parts, and until recently have been using an external synt...

Playing with Live and a band

Hey guys, Please forgive me if this topic has been covered, but I've been looking and can only find scant references to integrating Live in a band situation. We've been rehearsing with live for a while now, but taking the show out of the rehearsal space and into the real world of gigging is a big st...
