I have the Alesis Control Pad, the easiest way to make it work is to make a drum rack and re-map the control pad's midi notes or move the drum sound to the pad being triggered. It probably works very similar in Kontrol. Good Luck!

I have been using the StudioLive 1642 for a little over a year now. It's a great board! We record live and I use it for my primary studio interface. StudioOne is pretty slick to, not putting Ableton down or anything. You can use it with almost every DAW out on the market! Just a tip, you can reroute...

Make sure the browser is open and click on map midi button in the top right. Everything that is mapped should show in the browser. But if it is controller based you'll need to look up user remote scripts. I'm sure they are out there if you don't have one for the LPD8.

When you look how technology was derived it essentially was a cloud to start with. Late 60/Early 70s - Applications ran off a mainframe server aka Server Side (Essentially a Could) Computers progressed with faster processors and more memory this resulting into applications residing on their computer...

You could do it by routing....Create a new audio track set the Input to Master and set the Output to Ext Out 3/4. And set the main out to 1/2. Or you could split the master output? There is always more than one way to skin a cat!

I have always been tossing this in the back of my mind but I would like to see what everyone else is doing. Output mono or stereo on stage? From out in the crowd it would not truly sound right unless you were in-between the two speakers. I still use stereo mixes for the final output but I try not to...

You could do this with midi mapping. You will need to create new midi track and enable remote under preferences. I recommend watching this video. It should get the ball rolling.

It would take a lot of work on your part but you can follow this tutorial to make it a USB Controller. Then you could write an AutoHotKey script to capture the hash -> convert them to key stokes -> key map to Ableton. It'd make an awesome scene controller!

Here is how I maintain our live set full of backing tracks, light control, clicks, and queues! It is fully documented here at my website. The set is not completely finished but you can get the drift of the workflow. http://www.trentcurtis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ableton-Closed.jpg Neatly Grou...

What kind of music are you into? I might be able to track for you.

April Fools! I really wish they would hurry up it though!

You have some really great tips in here! Great Organization and pictures!

Any sync app should do it. I am on Windows and I use SyncToy from Microsoft.
