Ableton Forum

hi folks, having trouble with setting this up...

i've added to another thread but perhaps it is better in this one?

http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php? ... 8#p1306408

hello, i am unable to get the fcb1020 scripts functioning on my system.

10.6.8 mac pro
fcb1010 + uno -> midisport 4x4
live 8.2.2

i've:
- initialized the uno-ized fcb, NOT using stomp box mode (for now)
- uploaded the Preset.syx file included in fcb1020 download (successful, via parallels -- ed ...

sorry robert, i'm done "conversing" with vicz. don't know what came over me. back on target. luckily, the other thread in the general live discussion has been a positive exchange:

i agree, the poly aftertouch is not a common need, and is complex ...

no, no mistake -- you clearly have an personal interest in continuing the derailment of this thread. if you are so apathetic, maybe learn not to phrase your drivel in the form of a question...

speweth vicz:
If you can't live with it, why don't you buy a full copy of Max, or use another DAW ...

yeah, 3dot. i got excited about that too, but it's referring to channel pressure a.t., not poly. granted, this is cool and i have no complaints that at least this is supported. i have a novation keyboard that sends the mono/pressure aftertouch on the keys and that works.

the mono a.t. is ...

after doing some more research, here's what i think this boils down to:

handling of the poly aftertouch data used to be computationally expensive, both for the midi bandwidth limitations and for the multiple streams of constantly-shifting data (for example, 10 fingers, squeezing down on the keys ...

well, uppity trolls like vicz require more explanation, i guess:

i have the full copy of max, as well as other DAW software. i am looking for an elegant solution to stay within the new max for live environment, which i also paid for. i understood before even making my post that i could build my own ...

in the max for live documentation, "max for live for pluggo developers":

"Live does not currently support polyphonic aftertouch (received by the polyin~ object)."

gosh, that sucks.

"Live does not currently support polyphonic aftertouch (received by the polyin~ object)."

gosh, that sucks.

you must consult the manual, there are a lot of sneaky midi parameters on that keyboard, especially if you are going to use it with a sequencer. for example, you'll be able to sync up live and the korg tempo, so the korg arp, vocoder and other time-based effects will be right in line with live ...

thanks, zalo, i will give that a go.

have you used this for the same workaround? i feel like it could cause latency issues, but i don't really need the aftertouch to be extremely responsive in this case since it's just for the choke/mute on the cymbals (though the other triggers need to be as ...

i am attempting my first max4live creation, a handler for my roland td20 drum set, and i'm noticing a very disappointing (lack of a) feature in live -- i am unable to send the poly aftertouch from the drums through live to the max device! the roland kit sends the cymbal choke trigger signal via poly ...

forgive me if i am jumping to conclusions, but at VERSION 8(!), can live still not receive poly aftertouch messages from the crusty old midi protocol?

i'm building a custom handler in max4live for my td20, and it uses aftertouch to send the cymbal choke messages. i have a max midi selector (lifted ...

so, for those who have this successfully working (mac os x)...

does this have any negative effects? accessing menu bar items, accessing desktop or 2nd display, moving to another app, etc.

i'm guessing this only applies to the ableton interface itself, the menu bar is an extension of the operating ...

yeah, if wacom tablets function properly it will be huge for me. i use not only a tablet in one location but a cintiq at home now, so being able to use it with live will be most excellent. yippee!
