Got My New Live6 But need help with Kontrol49
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 11:27 pm
Hi Fellow Ableton users,
I was going to by Ableton early this summer but told myself I might as well just wait since version 6 is comming out soon. Currently im using Project 5 and Reason 3.0 but I hope to make Live my new workstation.
One of the main reasons i bought live is from watching the live6 promo videos. It sold me the 1st time i watched it. But also on the promo video it stated that popular control surfaces will automaticly be mapped without programming. So that even sold me more because I have been using my Korg Kontrol49 for almost a year now and I love it.
But the auto map feature in live6 is not working for me for some reason. i have read the manual back and forth about this but still not working. I also saw a couple of threads here about the kontrol49 and even downloaded a templete that someone made to see if that work but still nothing.
I know that Live is very powerful and going to make a GREAT workstation but i just need to get this kontrol49 working 1st.
Here is what my preferences/midi screen looks like. Is everything here correct?
Control Surface Set to: Kontrol49
Input is set to: Kontrol49 Port 1 B
Output is set to: Kontrol49 1 midi out B
And when i press a key on my keyboard and when I have a VST plugin in a midi track..no sound is played, no keeys move on my vst plugin, but I can see the light blink at the very top right of my screen when I press any key on my kontrol49. or and I missing somethign to actually get the VST plugin to use the controller?? so confused...
Can someone please help me on this? Please excuse me for not being too smart with live just yet. I only had it for 2 days now. lol
Please help..thanks guys
