Wow, nice! Thanks!

Hey - you manage to get anything sorted for this? Would love the Live manual in ePub?

No, don't think I'd give an .epub conversion a try without the manual in some kind of convertable format (word might be ok, for instance). PDF isn't really convertable. If you were really desperate, there are ...

PDFs on the Kindle suffer a number of problems. Getting it to "basically display properly" while not having to zoom is the only thing I can "fix", which I did by cropping the PDF. There's very limited-to-none search/indexing/linking possible, which means you can really only read the manual serially ...

I noticed an earlier post about publishing the Live manual for reading on Kindle or other e-reader devices. For some reason, can't find that topic anymore, though searching for "kindle" will find the hit for it.

Anyhoo, I'd also like to see the manual in a format other than just PDF as well ...

Either it's a bug in their system, or they just decided to allow it despite saying they wouldn't on the nano coupon page, but they DID take the coupon code for my 6 -> 7 upgrade.

I think at this point we'll have to have someone try it and find out.

Anyone know if the Korg Nano coupons - http://www.ableton.com/korg-nano - would work with an Ableton 7 -> 8 upgrade? Although not stated, the coupon DID work with a 6 -> 7 upgrade.

You can download the manuals from the M-Audio site. I don't have one, but have looked into it. It does serve as a sound card, so you can listen to DAW output, by redirecting Live's output to it. It is NOT USB powered, it has a separate power source.

Not sure why you'd get one if you didn't have a ...

Difference is mine was wireless bluetooth and I hooked it to a guitar strap.

Of course, wireless; beauty! Of course, I have some competition with the guitar strap ... my guitar. I've been waiting for someone to do a reasonable wii remote -> midi interface, so I can attach one to my headstock and ...

I've had one for 6 months, same model, and love it. One less freaking cord to deal with. After waking up, takes a few seconds for the computer to find the mouse. Other than that, no problems. Would definitely replace it with another if I lost it. Batteries lasted 3 months.

As a concrete example, I'd like to be able to control my Line6 Pod. Ideally, I'd like to have a script invocation stored in a clip. And the script should (obviously) have midi i/o support. I could then have the following sort of clips: load some presets, save current presets, switch to preset. Might ...
