Re: Sequencer won't sync to Live tempo despite MIDI preferences

USB cable.

Yeah, I'd gone over the manual about a dozen times trying to figure out why this wasn't working, had all my settings correct. Live was sending sync as well as midi remote signals but it wouldn't accept them. Tried testing in Midi Ox as Mathias/Faderfox requested and confirmed it was not ...

Sequencer won't sync to Live tempo despite MIDI preferences

Does anyone have a Faderfox SC4 sequencer? What settings are you using on the device and in MIDI settings on Live to get the tempo to sync via USB?

I have followed the manual very carefully as well Live's guidelines for connecting external hardware, and I can only get it to send sequencer patterns ...

Re: instrument racks/chains for large live performance sets

So I've come up with a template that maps each track's chain volumes and device on/off switches for each song (not speaker switch) to faders on a MIDI controller so that the devices and chains for songs not currently being used are not wasting CPU. The template has up to 16 tracks color and name ...

Re: instrument racks/chains for large live performance sets


You need to assign the on/offs of the devices in the chain to the same macro as your chain selector, such that the range is set so that they are only on when you are in the zone of that track.

This way even with overlapping zones only max two chains effects will be on at the same time.

Ahh, I ...

instrument racks/chains for large live performance sets

Hi, I am currently trying to figure out an efficient way to change between chains of instrument racks as I change between songs during live performance. For the past few dozen shows, I have used a system that involves using each song's instrument/effect racks on a chain with a section where the ...

Re: disabling note on messages for Push encoders in User Mode

The Track switch. And, no, turning that off won't impact Push's default functionality at all. However, it will make it so you can't use the pads in User Mode for playing instruments.

This would work, but I do plan on setting up the User mode so pads function as on/off switches for different ...

Re: disabling note on messages for Push encoders in User Mode

do you mean Track, Sync or Remote? won't that make Push stop communicating correctly with Live?

disabling note on messages for Push encoders in User Mode

Is there any way to disable the note on messages that encoders on Push send in User Mode? I find them sending very low pitch notes to my armed MIDI instruments too often and it muddies up the mix. I'd still like to use them as knobs, just not send MIDI notes if possible.

Maybe there is a way to ...

Re: Max For Live devices - knobs not working, no sound output

Hi Phil, interesting to hear. I think the audio not passing through and visuals not updating are not totally related, as sometimes just the visual issue has happened too, like with your situation.

I talked with support and they recommended going back to Max 7.2.1 - strangely enough the issues have ...

Re: why is my max not working?loads up but not processing sound

I have had this same problem several times a day for a week or more. Knobs and buttons not responding until clicking away, audio being blocked.

Have you been able to fix it yet?

I noticed today on my first opening of Live that knobs were not responding, but audio would pass through. Usually it's ...

Max For Live devices - knobs not working, no sound output

I'm currently having a very difficult time with Max devices, a problem that consists of three main parts as far as I can tell:

- If a Max device is in a track or rack, it basically blocks any audio from passing through. This includes if a Max instrument is used- it will not generate audio.

- Knobs ...
