That can work. If there is no real "midi through" capability on the impulse you can route the midi through ableton and back out to get it to work. Set the impulse to channel 1 set the fcb to channel 2 set the obey to receive midi on channel 3 Create a midi track (midi from impulse channel...

Hello Forum, I'm relatively new to midi and Ableton so bear with me. I have a fcb1010 foot controller, Impulse 25 keyboard, Chauvet Obey 70 light controller, MacBook Pro, using Ableton LITE. My goal is to trigger samples in Ableton using the Impulse 25 and/or fcb10101 and also run lights from the fc...

Success! Thanks Funk n Furter. I downloaded Ableton again. This time when I got to the page asking "where to save" I read it closely. There was only one choice "Mac HD" but you must actually click on the icon for it to save there. I assumed it would automatically go there (like w...

Thanks for the reply, I understand how to save changes once I'm in the program. Problem is...I cannot find the Ableton program. No icon or file and not showing up in finder. I assume it didn't load...which is weird since I watched it load (took several minutes) and indicated 'successful' load at the...

I have been using Ableton lite for about a week on a PC. Tonight I loaded it on a MacBook Pro. It indicated download was successful. I rebooted the Mac but I cannot find Ableton icon anywhere? The PC auto loaded a icon. I tried loading again and still cannot find Ableton. I'm not all that familiar w...

I'm using Ableton Lite (as a trial) and cannot access drum rack (it's there but I cannot open it in lite). I can use Impulse but it seems to have a :30 max time limit on any one track. I can open Simpler and play longer samples than :30 but only one track in Simpler and I need all 8 tracks. I was ho...

I tried loading simpler into a drum rack but it went from being able to hold several tracks to one simpler track when I dropped in the file. I need to run several tracks on keyboard one of which is over :30 seconds. I was able to run the full 1:45 in simpler so I know it's not the keyboard timing ou...

Or are you using Impulse's Stretch and Time features?

I'll try that. I'm not using strech or time features.

The sample is not stretched or repitched. I'll check into the device.

I didn't mess with it on my computer but are you holding the note down when you use that sample? The manual says this: "The envelope can be adjusted using the Decay control, which can be set to a maximum of 10.0 seconds. Impulse has two decay modes: Trigger Mode allows the sample to decay with...

I'm not very used to work with Impulse so I don't if this is of any help, but wouldn't it be easier to just throw the sample into arrangement view in its own track? I mean, since it's more than 1 1/2 minutes long. Thanks for the inquiry, Each sample is triggered by a key on a midi keyboard for 'liv...

Hi Forum, I'm using an external sample in the impulse grid. It's a sweeping synth and does not repeat. I need it to run 1:45 but I can only get it to run for :30 seconds. Is there a way to extend the length of time a sample can run in impulse? For reference, this is 1 of 7 samples...but the others a...

Thanks Yur2die4. With your suggestion I kept working with 'Simpler' and eventually 'Impulse' and was able to drop multible samples into the field at the bottom and play them on the Impulse 25 keyboard. Good to go now.

Load the instrument "Simpler", then drag the sample inside of the instance of that instrument. Or, create a new 'MIDI' track, and drag the sample into it (I'm pretty sure that this works, it is supposed to automatically place the sample into an instance of Simpler). Then make sure that th...

Hello Forum, I purchased a Noviation Impulse 25 with Ableton live lite. If all goes well I plan to upgrade to standard Ableton later. I actually purchased the upgrade but have not opened it yet. My Issue, I loaded a sample into Ableton that I previously created in audacity and had saved on my PC. I ...
