Right, I'm aware of expression pedals, but they're all ugly... I was wondering if anyone knows of one that looks like an M-Audio SP2 maybe?

Hello ladies and gents, I'm looking for a sustain pedal that will give me a 0-127 midi range, not your regular sustain pedal which is on and off. I'm trying to emulate piano reverb as close as possible to the real thing... so I figure I could control the dry/wet of a reverb with this pedal. Do you k...

Same exact config on mac CoreAudio to Lyra works perfectly, midi has no problem coming thru. Keyboard MIDI doesn't work either... it's probably Prism' stupid drivers messing up - it's supposed to have WDM support for Windows, under both Win 7 and Win 8 (x64) the output in sound under control panel i...

On playback yes. It's not showing midi on any channel meters tho and if I hold a midi key down while changing the sample rate on the Lyra the note gets stuck and plays but nothing else after that works

Ya, I have no inputs, I tried all the outputs... I'm guessing midi's getting hung somewhere in windows, I'm gonna try it on mac too, what bs.

Well ya of course, that's what I'm talking about when I say change interfaces


Preferences -> Audio -> Audio Device -> Xone 4D to Lyra

I mean playing sounds in the browser, a midi clip in arrangement view, etc.

I thought the audio interface has nothing to do with midi handling

You misunderstood me, I never said the interfaces get midi signal, just that live gets the midi signal on both (since the light comes on) I simply change between ASIO audio interfaces, I shouldn't need to make any other changes to Live's preferences. The MPK 88 is properly configured under MIDI/Sync...

So I just acquired a Prism Sound Lyra 2 which I've been waiting forever and a day for... and it sounds awesome, and the latency is close to the speed of light. And then my natural instinct is to throw Operator on a MIDI track and start bangin a subbass on my AKAI MPK88... and guess what happens when...

Thanks a lot for your replies guys, but it puzzles me the fact that CDs are 44.1khz that means that the range an audio file on a CD can go up to 22.05khz. If there's a point to cutting off at 20khz, why wasn't the audio standard 40khz instead? Been in the business for a while, jargon doesn't scare m...

OK guys, Tone Deft, thanks for drilling it into me, I get it lol.

I'm gonna check out Tarekith's website!

fishmonkey, thanks!

Tarekith I meant to say don't "highpass" everything above 30hz?

The only reason I'm producing at 88.2 is because of the reduced latency. However I've always thought that the frequencies outside the audible range enhance the richness of the sound overall.... same recording at 22 vs same recording at 44 will sound different imo and that of others who have experime...

Guy Smiley, that makes total sense, thanks a lot for the info.

Tarekith so you're saying don't lowpass @ 30hz for example, when I have a subbass at 48hz?

Tone Deaf, as is your comment

Thanks for your responses. It wasn't a joke post. The downsampling is done by the Ableton engine when exporting the wav @ 16bit/44khz. I use LAME afterwards to convert the wav to a 320kbps mp3. However, when I import one of my mp3s there's no drop between 20khz and 24khz so I don't get it.
