Re: MIDI Keyboard issues

Do you have a MIDI monitor app on your computer? You can use that to confirm that the LPK is sending note messages for all keys across all octaves.

Re: Ableton live can utilize 32 threads on windows, and 64 on mac. Why?

I used to work for Intel and AMD amongst other tech companies doing processor and networking design. The threading issue has more to do with the OS than the hardware underneath it. Threads are spawned by processes (Live runs as one process) and each process is allocated memory space by the OS. There...

Re: Reverb

If you have placed a reverb on every track and hear no effect, check your wet/dry settings.

Re: Help With Expression Pedal

It's not odd at all. As I wrote in your other post, MIDI CC reception is 100% dependent on the receiving device. In fact that is true of all MIDI communications. EDITED: OK, I sat down and messed around with Sampler, a few other native devices and third party plugins. 1. None of the native Ableton d...

Re: CC11 (Expression)

swanny8777, Since you came over here from your other thread, I'll point out why the OP had trouble four years ago. From the Zebra manual: While auditioning presets you should always try the performance controls velocity, pitch bend, modulation wheel and pressure. Many presets are also programmed to ...

Re: Help With Expression Pedal

Your problem is you are trying to MIDI map the expression pedal. Live reads CCs just fine without requiring Remote to be activated, your mod wheel works, right? The problem is your software instruments, not the keyboard. Some instruments respond to CC#11 by default, some can be configured to do so, ...

click in the Scrub Area (right below the Beat Time Ruler).
This works even when the transport is running. I use this method more than any other.

Re: Midi Port Settings Don't Seem To Save

Are you saving the template after you make the edits? The only time I lose my port settings is when a particular MIDI device is not connected when I launch Live. So I always turn all my MIDI devices on before I launch Live...problem solved. If everything is connected through the MOTU interface and y...

Re: NO SOUND PLS HELP

There's a tutorial built into Live on setting up your audio...have you gone through it? Most problems with high latencies are from user error.

Re: Audio fuller/louder when routing out Battery and Omnisphere

Louder, maybe, fuller...well try comparing both tracks at the same level. Louder always sounds fuller. It's the way our brains perceive sound.

So you are claiming that the volume difference only happens with Battery and Omnisphere but not with any other instruments routed to audio tracks?

It's also an option in Logic, but not in Ableton.

Re: Why is there no rewind and fast-forward in Live?

I'll play devil's advocate even though I use FF and REW all the time with Live. DAW transports are just a holdover from the days of tape. With tape you needed FF/REW because you coudn't jump to a different location instantaneously. Even locators came from tape, the last few generations of studio mac...

Re: best audio driver for Mac

Did you install the Roland drivers? The user manual says they are required, none of the Roland instruments are USB class compliant.

Re: Trying to find a suitable string orchestra for backing tracks

Google the term divisi. This is where many string libraries fall short. Only expensive ones seem to support this.
