Live & SPD-S
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2015 6:22 pm
Hello,
I'm a drummer using a roland spd-s and want to trigger tracks, one shots & loops during live performances. I'm curious what is the best way to set up Ableton for a live performance. I used to use the spd-s just as it comes, with its own software, but having a digital interface is way easier to control and be attentive to whats going on. I want to have full control and I'll have maybe 8-10 songs I have tracks I want to trigger, each song containing anywhere between 2-9 clips.
My question more specifically is: is there a way to have multiple midi maps to switch between on one live set? That is, if I have 25 clips I want throughout the night, but I can only midi-map 9 of them at any one time (to my knowledge), is there a way to switch between different midi maps and have for each song a new set-up but without opening a new session? Or is the only way to do that to have different live sets loaded up at the start of a show?
