Re: External Instrument with Audio Effects?

I have a Mackie ProFX mixer, it has audio interface built in. That is plugged in by USB cable to the PC. My keyboards run into the mixer, and output from Ableton runs into the mixer. Direct Monitoring? On the audio interface? I think so. On a MIDI channel, External Instrument, I can see a signal (au...

External Instrument with Audio Effects?

Ableton 11 on PC. I use Push2 to trigger my Yamaha MODX synth, it has some great sax and wind instrument sounds. The synth is set as External Instrument and it works great, except for an occasional stuck midi note. I want to use some Audio Effects, and VSTs to enhance the incoming synth sound. How c...

Re: PUSH 2 change scales.. maybe

Select on Launch was ON. I have tried everything. It is easy to make the clip change, but that will not change the scale on PUSH. This is a major software bug that makes 11 worthless to me. Anybody :idea:

Re: PUSH 2 change scales.. maybe

Sounds like a challenge to get the right version of Max. It's worth a try if it will make this thing work.
II have 11 standard. I don't own Max, just checked on the price, it's $319 US to upgrade to Suite, or $199 for Max.

I will have to check into it, or see if I can get a trail version of Max.

Re: PUSH 2 change scales.. maybe

Scaleton sounds like a great solution. I did find it, and downloaded. I don't know how you made it work in 11? When I try to load or install it, I get the message "The device is not available in this version of Live" !@#$%^ Back to the beginning! If you are using Push 2 to improvise lead g...

Re: PUSH 2 change scales.. maybe

Follow action will advance to the next clip, but not change the PUSH scales !@#$%. That's really a bummer. With Abe 10 and Clyphx, that worked. I can't believe that they left that part out, what a blunder. I wrote to Abe11 support to ask for a work around for PUSH scales. I also said that I could no...

Re: Problem when sending midi to synth and recording back audio, wav is shifted to the right

The right way to do this is to set an External Instrument device (found under Instruments) on you midi track, set it to send midi to your external synth, and receive the audio from the corresponding input on your interface. Then set the recording audio track to receive the audio from that midi trac...

Re: PUSH 2 change scales.. maybe

Yea, That software looks great. Will it work with Ableton 11 and Push2 ????? :?:
If not, I have no choice but to go back to Abe 10.
If Abe 11 can't make the Push 2 scales follow the chord progression, I cannot play synth saxaphone. Game Over.. :roll:

Re: Crackling and popping.

I had that problem a few days ago with a new computer. Turns out I had selected a drum set that is called 45 Vinyl, yep it has pops and cracks just like a 45 rpm record. Switched drum sets, no pops..

Re: PUSH 2 change scales.. maybe

Am I the only one that has run into this. I thought that everyone would be using the scale and follow action in the clip to play Push 2 in the right key for every chord change. That's an amazing invention, but it only works for one scale at a time. :roll: Has anyone else found a workaround???

Re: PUSH 2 change scales.. maybe

That sucks.. Push is an amazing device and the ability to play scales coordinated with chord changes is the best thing about it for me. I can play synth leads with ease and never hit a bad note. Clyphx, can follow the clips and change Push scales to fit the chords. Now they made this great improveme...

PUSH 2 change scales.. maybe

When I had Ableton 10, I used Clyphx to change scales on my Push 2 Now there is a new scale feature in every clip in Abe 11 that has all of that function. I have 4 clips set to change scales on a track, and I am using push to control and External Instrument (synth) If I click a clip, it will change ...

External Instrument with Audio Effects

Ableton Live 10 on a PC. I just upgraded to a new computer and have everything working except one issue. I have a Yamaha MODX keyboard that has a great tenor sax sound. I use an External Instrument track for that keyboard, and PUSH Midi out to control it. Before I changed computers, I was able to dr...

Re: Clyphx for PUSH2 Sticking notes

After many attempts to solve the sticky notes, I may finally have it. Here is what is working today. I'm playing a MODX synth, using Push2 for triggering. I now have a midi track with push2 for input, and midi out to the synth. I have another track with External Instrument to bring the sound from th...
