Ableton Forum

Thanks again for your help everyone. I've been able to get the UC-33 going using the OPX-II's learn mode, and indeed the mapping is saved "with the instrument" so I can recall it anytime. And with the options under the synth's "PROCC" section the pickup is great as well. A very n...

Thanks for all suggestions. Both DDC (assuming it works the same for plugin as with native devices) and the midi learn option look very promising :!: I never even considered using midi learn. Great to know that those settings are stored with the soft synth itself. I'll probably do some experimenting...

Yes, I now actually doubt if that is going to work because of this: The plug-in in question would of course need to be able to internally map a CC to a specific parameter, It's just a simple softsynth (great sounding, but no extra midi mapping capabilities) so I think I'll have to rely on Ableton fo...

I just did a test (at work with a copy of Live on my laptop without the OPX synth, but it still allows me to do some testing). This is what I did: – Open Live. – Load a third party plugin. – Key-map '1', '2', '3' to different parameters. – "Save as default configuration". – Close live. – ...

I can't test it right now, but if I understand correctly what you're saying is I can map everything (without the need to group the synth to an instrument rack), then save the OPX as 'default preset'? Does it work like that for third party synths as well (I'm aware of the default preset option on na...

No, I have not looked at that yet. Will read now

Thanks for your reply. My problem is not so much with the mapping. How you suggested it is the same as what I described under "Midi map directly to the synth". The problem is with re-using that mapping. If I do as you say, I am unable to store that device including the midi mapping in Able...

I've looked into this quite a bit but haven't found a suitable solution, so as a last resort maybe someone here is able to help. I have a softsynth (OPX PRO-II) and an old midi controller (UC-33). I want to use the UC-33 to control the OPX. Seems simple enough, right? I'm aware of two scenarios: eit...

Excuse the low res pic:



He's referring to the 'crest factor' / getting the transients that will be pushing into your limiter, to be close to the average level of the track.

I think he means trying to get the distance between peaks (transients) and the average level of a track close together, which is also what I use as a rough guideline. I'm not sure how to interpret your comment Tarekith; did you interpret Junqueira's comment literally, as in, get the actual values cl...

Oooh I just found a very nice one: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=176243 (https://github.com/Rolias/KMeter-OSX).

Hats off Rolias!

Not to push anyone to buy additional plugins, but just throwing this in here in case anyone reading this uses Fabfilter products: their limiter has very useful k-scale metering.

Now that's cool
