Clips playing back distorted & half speed

My friend was trying to reduce my latency & he changed the sample rate around. We put it back, but I have had problems since then. My set plays OK until something goes wrong...the connection fails between Ableton and my Launchpad. Then when I play the clips, they play back at reduced pitch &...

Re: Apc40 vs Launchpad S + Launch Control?

This combo is great, and it's so close to perfect it hurts...but if I can't find a way to do this I'm returning both and waiting for the APC40 MK2. I have the launchpad mkii and I was seriously going to trade it for the APC 40MK2 until I thought about trading my 8x8 grid of big pads on the Launchpa...

Bank Change commands in Launch Control XL

I just bought a Launch Control XL. I bought it because I wanted the faders. It looks great except for not having a Bank Change button to quickly move the LC to the 2nd 8 tracks (9 thru 16). someone posted this link a few years ago: http://www.nativekontrol.com/Link.html But the link is broken. Does ...

USB MIDI instruments dropping out?

I have had a problem with instruments 'dropping out' during performance. I have Ableton 9, a core i5 laptop, a SLMKI MIDI controller, a Novation Ultranova hardware synth which also plays MIDI instruments, a Launchpad and an AKAI Mini. Frequently when I am playing a set, I get no sound from the Launc...

Re: AKAI stops playing notes

"akai mini still sends midi to ableton live but no sounds comes out anymore" YEP, that's what I mean to say! (I have difficulty expressing MIDI language. I have only been doing this a few years...) So, since I haven't turned the ARM button off, and it still shows up as being ARMED in Ablet...

AKAI stops playing notes

I have an AKAI mini which I use with Ableton and a SLMKI midi controller. It has been working well when I use it to control 2 instruments in a rack. The instruments I load are usually Absynth. The AKAI knobs are used for volume control & a few FX. One instrument for each row of 4 knobs. The rout...

Actually I found that the pen is just as difficult to use as the mouse...at least for the click, drag & drop functions. maybe it's just that I have been using a mouse for Umpteen years.

Wacom Bamboo tablet as MIDI controller

There were some posts made on this in 2009 but nothing since then. I just bought a Bamboo tablet for artwork & thought it would also work great as an XY touchpad. I plugged the USB cable into my hub with my MIDI instruments and tried to open Ableton. Alas, Ableton was not happy, and crashed bigt...

Re: Ableton live 8 & Akai MPK Midi

A positive word on the AKAI mini! I just bought one of these, so far I am very pleased with it, it installed like a charm and showed up in Preferences just fine! It cost $70, has a 4-page manual, sets up in 10 seconds, and does things easier than some MIDI controllers that cost 4X as much. I believe...

>It won't show up under 'control surfaces', but it should be listed under MIDI Ports. Nope. Not listed under anything.

Re: How to use Kaoss Pad KP3 w/ Live 7 (i searched)

Ableton 9 won't pick up MIDI from the KP3 no matter what I do!!! It won't show up in the MIDI Prefs and the little mIDI light won't blink. What gives?...Could my Automap be blocking the KP and only letting the other instruments (all of them Novation) thru? >I don't see how automap would be disablin...

I am currently "testing" a KP3. I run Ableton 9, I would love to use the KP3 as a MIDI XY touchpad. Unfortunately Ableton 9 won't pick up MIDI from the KP3 no matter what I do!!! It won't show up in the MIDI Prefs and the little mIDI light won't blink. What gives? QUOTe: In "EXT CTRL&...
