Re: Controlling Hardware from within Ableton Question.

Thank You for the starting point for this solution anyways. Hopefully either i'll figure it out from here or someone who knows how to do this will see this topic and answer my question.

Re: Controlling Hardware from within Ableton Question.

I already have and use MIDI-OX for interacting with the Electribe. How do I use it to achieve this? Do I use it to translate a MIDI CC out of ableton (a fader movement on APC) into the corresponding MIDI CC on the Electribe or Radias?

Controlling Hardware from within Ableton Question.

I use Ableton and an APC40 to sequence my hardware(Korg EMX-1, Korg Radias-R). I use External Instruments on tracks, for each of the separate drums, synths, and timbres on the respective hardware, to sequence with MIDI clips and automate parameters. What I would like to be able to do is assign a fad...

Re: APC40 + APC20

That link shows almost exactly what I want to do with mine as far as physically combining them (except i want the clip grids next to each other with the knobs to the right) though I have also thought about running two laptops to possibly cut down on CPU load and give me more visual space screen-wise.

Re: APC40 + APC20

I also have an APC40 and am thinking about adding an APC20 to it to gain additional clip launch spots. I mainly use the clips to sequence hardware so generally I don't use the knobs for half the clips i use. I would also be interested in the navigation buttons on the APC40 to move both clip matrix. ...

Re: APC40 + KORG Kaoss Pad3 or KORG Mini Pad?

I use the KP3 with my APC40. And to answer your question it depends on what you do with it. I use my KP3 as it is meant to be when I run DJ sets and playing with a band but when producing my own music I use the my KP3 as a MIDI X-Y Controller to control Ableton effects. If you want to loop or quick ...

Dual APC Question

I currently use my APC40 mainly to sequence my hardware (Korg EMX-1, Korg Radias). Between the drums and 5 synths on the EMX-1, the 4 Timbres on the Radias, and program change controls I have maxed out my APCs view horizontally. So my question is were I to get an APC20, can the two units be used in ...

Re: Muting Individual MIDI Notes in a MIDI Clip?

oddstep - when i put a drum rack in the track it seems that the mute button doesn't turn up until something is placed in the pad (ie: a sample). Is there a way to make bring up the mute button without loading the pad with something and still get it to send the specific MIDI note when sequenced by a ...

Muting Individual MIDI Notes in a MIDI Clip?

I use Ableton to sequence the drums on my EMX-1. Each drum is assigned to a specific note and i currently sequence the EMX-1 with MIDI clip loops. I want to be able to mute a specific note/drum while the sequence continues just without playing the muted note/drum. Can anyone help me out with how to ...

Re: Controlling Reaon Knobs via APC40

Don't know if this will help anyone but I have noticed and some how just now put together in my head that, when I'm using an External Instrument to play a Reason synth via Ableton, the knobs of my R3, that I have controlling the External Instrument, control Reason Parameters in real time. They contr...

Re: Controlling Reaon Knobs via APC40

No. I can and do use automation already. It's amazing for having Reason synths with several constantly changing parameters. What I want to do is have real-time control of specified Reason parameters, based on what synth I have selected. My ideal would just use the Macros of an Instrument Rack, as I ...

Re: Controlling Reaon Knobs via APC40

I too am already controlling Reason as a slave to Live. Presently I have an Instrument Rack in it with External Instruments in chain in the rack. Using a knob on my APC i can scroll through these External Instruments (ie: Thor 1, Subtractor 1, etc.). I then launch a MIDI clip containing MIDI notes t...

Re: Controlling Reaon Knobs via APC40

The reason I asked this question is because I don't want to buy M4L unless it can do this. So I'm not really useful in trying out things, as I don't have M4L so I can't create or test patches. But you have talked about Reason sending info to Live. As far as my experience with Reason goes, I don't be...

Re: Edirol UA-101 Help

OK. So I tried both of those pieces of advice and came out with mixed results. When I plugged in head phones, I heard the sound that I was playing in Ableton. But still no sound out of mixer when I pushed Soft Ctrl, Mono, and Digital In or when I plug output cord into the Monitor Out ports. I have t...
