Ableton Forum

I think that's the messy bit...my memory kinda sucks but I think the gist of the whole issue was that once the files themselves had been converted it was quite difficult to un-convert them. As in, Live 8 can convert a Live 7 file to the 8 format, but Live 7 can't convert a Live 8 file into a 7 ...

Actually just had a thought - surely I can just uninstall Live 8 LP Edition and go back to me lovely Live 7??? Please tell me that's a runner!?!

Ableton changed a lot of the saved file formats (libraries, sets etc) when they introduced Live 8, such that anything pre-8 is converted to the new type. Unfortunately, once they're converted they won't open on any version prior to 8. That's why your Live 7 folders are gone, not sure why the 8 ...

Id change the 'global channel' on the edirol all the way to midi channel 16.

I think, from memory midi channels 1, 6, 8 & 9 are used by the LP for clip launch, mixer and both the user modes.

If you get any more controllers you can assign global midi channels for each one.


I'll give that a shot ...

You didn't mention which OS you are using. I had some issues with lagging on the launchpad, running on windows 7 x64.
I know, not the same problem, but it might have the same cause.

They released a new USB driver half of february, which solved my problem. Maybe it will help for your problem as ...

I recently got my hands on the launch Pad, but I think it's conflicting with the Midi controller I already have which is the edirol keyboard midi controller.

When I disconnect the Edirol The Laucnh Pad works fine but when both or connected teh whoel systems has a nervous breakdown ...

Nice one! Just the job

Time stretch eh! Sounds like a Doctor Who episode Cezband!

Ok - I'll give it a go, I pressume with the user friendly nature of Ableton it shouldn't be that difficult to locate this feature?

OK, this might sound strange but I'll explain what I'm up to and maybe someones might know where I'm going wrong.

I've imported an old Nina Simone track into Live 7 and I want to jazz about with it ie add drum tracks etc, etc. But for the life of me I can't get the tempos to line up. The drum ...

It's Christmas all over again!

Many thanks guys!

Hey,

I've been using Loopmasters quite a bit but I was wondering if there where any other smapel sites out there worth exploring in the dance vein?
