Re: Novation Nio 2|4 with Macbook

strange, the OS factor is interesting - also, I only use it for midi out, not midi in - I wonder if that's part of it

Re: Novation Nio 2|4 with Macbook

1. Do you have NiO properly set up in Live (use the built in set up tutorial in Live if you need help) 2. Do you have midi out of your cableboard plugged in to the midi in of the nio? 3. Do you have NiO connected to the Macbook via USB (if it is, the light should be on FYI) When the answer is yes to...

Re: Novation Nio 2|4 with Macbook

I use one w/ a MacBook, and use it w/ midi w/ no problems.

Do you have your midi channel sending midi to the NiO (I tend to do it this quick/easy way instead of using External instrument).

Let me know, and I will try to help you troubleshoot.

Re: undo bug???

I have been having this problem a lot as well.

Sometimes if I restart Ableton it stops, sometimes it doesn't. Having a hard time determining the source of the problem.

Re: Groove Pool Weirdness - Why Enevelopes?

I suppose that the velocity 'template' was added as a bonus. That way you can get more human feel even when you program the patterns in step sequencer style with fixed velocities. Then why make it an SP1200 template? It doesn't make sense... In reality, who cares :) Thanks for the info everyone.

Re: Percussion getting in the way of a loud mix

Two thoughts: 1. It's probably transient spikes, so work hard on getting your compression settings right, or even use a limiter on the individual offensive tracks to tame and/or squash those. 2. Just mix the track with everything at the volume that sounds "right" and at the end lower all t...

Awesome, I will try that.

My other question:

if their intention is to emulate the SP1200 on 54% and 58% swing, why would it affect the volume (b/c it doesn't on the real SP1200)?

Groove Pool Weirdness - Why Enevelopes?

I just started playing with the Groove function again and I am getting something strange going on with Groove. For example when I use the following two settings (I haven't tested them all, just these two) SP1200 54 SP1200 58 After I apply the Groove, I am seeing really weird volume envelopes on my c...

I emailed customer support as I still haven't gotten my code - hoping they get back to me.
