Akai Fire as a controller for Live

Post by metastatik » Mon Feb 25, 2019 1:45 pm

This video demonstrates the possibilities you can expect when using Fire out-of-the-box with Live. Of course, things can go much, much deeper if scripts and/or M4L devices get involved in the fun. I'm working on some tools to allow for that now and wanted to get a gauge on interest. Specifically, what features would like to see?

If you figure out how to make this a step sequencer like in FL, you will be a god... the push is cool and all but i prefer my fire layout

want to cut down on DAWs lol

I like FL for drum sequencing
Ableton for audio manipulation
Logic for recording and mixing :cry:

I received some PMs requesting to see CrossFire in action. Fair enough. Here you go:
