Thanks for the replies. I followed the lesson, and go the latency down to 159 rns, which I think is still pretty high, but I'm on a pretty old computer and can't afford to upgrade atm.

My audio interface is a Behringer BCA2000. I also have a Lexicon Lambda but it makes vrey loud hiss noises at ...

Hi,

I recently bought a DSI Mopho and I want to use it with Live. I've got it connected to my audio interface, but it doesn't play in time (latency). So I'm guessing I should set the track delay for either my Midi channel or the Audio channel that receives the Mopho's signal, but I can't figure out ...

A quick question about the TomCosm method.

I often have tracks where a certain sound spans several parts of my track. For instance, there's a break, and when it starts building up again, a vocal sample plays, but the last note of that sample is on the first beat of the next part. So there is some ...

You could send the tempo change from the slave to the master, via midi. For instance, attach a midi controller to it, and send whatever it sends to your slave laptop, and from there to the master, and then use midi learn on the master to assign that to your tempo. Something like that...

I don't ...

werd...are you using Vista?

XP Pro SP3, Vista is a pig! Reminds me of what Windows ME was. Some half ass attemp of an upgrade.

Nah... I'm on Vista (I was forced, I use my work laptop, and it came with Vista), and even though XP is a bit more stable, Vista isn't as bad as ME at all ...

Nothing wrong with formatting your computer, and it's not that hard to do either. I think I do it every year or so, maybe two.

Just keep a hard drive (or some back up dvd's) with all your installers (programs, vst's, etc) and the appropriate licenses, and you should be fine.

If you have some spare ...

Don't think so, but I don't know them very well. At least, I don't think it would be easy to do so, and it wouldn't have the randomization and evolving features I have here, nor the capabality to store and call patterns or even single bars on-the-fly.

Thanks for all the replies, I'll check everything out once I find the time.

In the meantime, here's a WIP screenshot of my little tool :

Four bars, each with 8 steps, and each step has a pitch number, a velocity number, a mute and a hold button. There ...

If you're on Windows, I'll send you my program once it's useable. Might be pretty soon, depending on how much free time I can find (between working and spending time with my daughter it's sometimes hard to find the time to work on things like this... luckily I deprive myself of sleep).

Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure I check it out.


For now, I'm planning on doing it in C# (using the C# Midi Toolkit on codeproject.com), because it's very easy to write windows apps with it. I'd like to do it in Java, so more users could potentially benefit, but it's been 8 years since I last ...

I can't play piano/keyboards, but I like turning knobs, making patterns, etc (and I can play bass guitar). When performing live, I want to trigger things, and change the sounds a bit with a midi controller, not actually play everything myself. Even if I could, I'm not sure I would.

I am a ...

I know the MPC does step sequencing, but it does not do what I'm asking for here :) Must be my English, I'm not a native speaker.

What I want resembles a step sequencer, yes, but instead of entering notes, you enter numbers. Let's say there are 8 steps, and I enter :

13201342

Than you send some ...

Thanks, but not exactly... It would play notes based on the midi input in real time. Send other notes to it, and the pattern would play other notes. More like an arpeggiator, like I said.

That way, I could just edit the chords in ableton, and send the midi to this tool, and let it make a pattern ...

Is there a tool that plays patterns based on the incoming notes - kind of like an arpeggiator, but where you just enter numbers for each of the steps?

Like, first step play note 1, second step nothing (or hold), thirth step play note 5 (and if there are only 3 notes playing, 5 would mean note 2 ...

Yeah, I've got one, but I don't use it as a standard mixer, I use it to control a VST synth, and it works pretty well.
