http://www.livelab.dk/touchpad2midi.php But I haven't personally tried it. Saw that. Looks interesting, but I believe it's Windoze only. Anyone know if there's anything similar for the Mac? There is something called FingaMIDI, but it only works with ADB-based trackpads on older Apple laptops. http:...

First of all: Lydian does have a #4. It is easy, if you see this way: Lydian scale means, that the parent scale is started on the fourth note. So that for C Lydian that means C being the 4th of G, so parent scale is G, which has F#, which happens to be #4 when seen from C. Hope that helps. Whoops, t...

Hi, have you thought of using different MIDI-Channels? On your controller, can you switch the channel, on which it transmits? Then in Ableton Live in the MIDI From section per MIDI track, select the device and MIDI-Channel you want to the instrument be controlled with. E.g. MIDI-track 1 in Ableton L...

nice read, thanks for that!

And that's the post I was talking about. Although no mention of how to address several instruments e.g. through multiple MIDI-channels.

IAC should work too, but as a quick start, MIDIPipe does work as well: 1. create a blank Pipe 2. Add a MIDI in. In its settings dropdown, select "Edit virtual Inputs". Create a new input and name it "To Logic". 3. Add a MIDI Out. Same as above, create a new output but call it &qu...

What I still do not get is, how to create or record new tracks with the same instruments (but on a different track). Lets say a got a drum programm and would want to record BD/SD on one track and than add the hihat with the same instrument on another track. Sorry, forgive me if this sounds dumb to ...

I do not know about the playback features of Live 5 yet, but you could use Simpler for that task. Just drag your recorded 10 bar string sequence into simpler. Adjust ADSR so that with a simple MIDI note-hit it plays your whole sample. Then build your 9 bar MIDI-loop and in the beginning place a MIDI...

you can go down to 1/16 if you want. The behaviour of that input fields for follow actions is a bit odd at first, but once you get it, its easy. You want to have a follow action only 2 4th long, simply click into to the middle box under "follow action" and move your mouse downwards. For fi...

As far as I understand it, it is the Song "Make Music with Live" in your Live-Install-Folder->Factory Content->Demos and Tutorials. But I could be wrong...

Does "a loop reccorded at 65bpm and play back at the same speed" mean, that this loop is originally (i.e. from your sampling CD) recorded at 65bpm? If yes, has Live recognized the correct tempo of your sample? It sometimes has problems to determine the correct tempo especially for files no...

To make iTunes ask you about deleting the file from the hard drive (send to recycle bin), you need to be browsing the library, not a playlist. Make sure the source, selected in the left pane is on a library not a playlist. If you're in a playlist press ALT-Backspace and you get the confirmation scr...

3. BIGGEST PROBLEM : I cannot access the live 4 presets with samples included. (ok, i should make my own, but they are a good starting point) Quite easy: you probably installed Live as the admin user in /Applications/ So in the Live Folder there are 2 Folders for your Presets und Samples, named &qu...
