hello, i am having loads of fun with the looper, i have 3 for guitar and one for bass and am controlling them with footswitches and my ipod over TouchOSC and the Lemur ... the one thing i'm missing when i'm flying blind without the computer screen is to know which loop states i'm in (rec/overdub/pla...

so i finally figured it out from a post in the lemur forum:

to get the arm button to work you have to send the values 64 and 127 not 0 and 127 or the same value

again i ask: why oh why ??? why on earth does the arm button behave differently than other buttons in live ?

i've tried my Lemur, Oxygen49, PCR-500 and a monome ... all exibit the same behavior .. if i take the same midi controller/knob and just map it to for example the Speaker On it works without problem.

The buttons are sending the values 0 for off and 127 for on

ok this is a strange one ... trying to do sth fairly simple: i just want to be able to switch the Arm button from a Midi controller. The problem is that the Arm button seems to be a bit different to other buttons (the Speaker On button for example) since i can't get this to work. What happens is tha...

just talked to ableton support and this is a limitation of Live .. Live cannot 'route through' continuous CCs, it has to receive them first then send them on making what i want to do impossible inside Live. I found a workaround however, a little freeware app called MIDI Patchbay (for Mac) which lets...

hello, i have this weird problem, i want to control another computer with Live via Midi CC. SO i have a variety of Midi controllers and everything works fine when i try to control things inside my live ... but when it send/route this midi device/channel to my external midi interfaces output the midi...

hello,

i have a Max 4 Live license (but not the complete Max) and i'm wondering if i should download and install Max 6 now or does Max 4 Live only work with 5.1.9 ?

hi all, i got something weird (using 8.2.6 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 ) ... the overdub buton OVR doesn't work anymore ... not in clip mode and not in arrange mode, i trashed prefs but the problem persists .. is there a setting i missed that prevents the OVR funtion from working ? never seen this before ... ...

ok, i figured something out, not sure if this is the most elegant way to do it but it works:

hi ... i have done a simple patch that send me what's going on in a midi track over OSC, this works well only that i don't need note Off messages and would like only to send Note On messages ... how can i do this here is my patch: http://cosmopolytone.com/m4l_oscSender.jpg sorry if this a stupid que...

hi, don't quite know how to name this topic ... what i want to do is to extract single note information from a drum rack, so i choose Midi From > Kit 808 http://cosmopolytone.com/ableton_midiProb_1.jpg and then in the dropdown below Kit 808 > Kick 808 > Post FX http://cosmopolytone.com/ableton_midiP...

i get frequent consistent and reproductible crashes when Live uses more than 1.9GB memory where Live will quit with the ' serious programm error ... out of memory ' dialog' either during i work or when i try to save the file .. i do not use any audio clips in my live set, only Virtual instruments (a...

wow, that was fast ... must be cause we're in the same city :lol: thx for your help ... if at al possible i'd like to avoid using note messages to controll stuff cause then i'd have ot get into different midi channels which is complicating things a bit (i use all octaves to trigger samples) there mu...
