Recently I tried to recreate the sound of an old C64 track using Live. I failed, because of simple functionality which could easily added and would be a great improvement of Live's synthesizer.

I have a hardware synth and would like to connect parameters of the hardware synt...

So I thought, why not control the piano with Live and record the audio. Everything worked fine, but now I search a way how I can easily control so...
