PLEASE!! help quick!
Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forums and over the past month I have been learning how to use live 6!
It is awesome!! I rewire it with reason and its very promising
BUT!! I am a complete noob with MIDI... I go a korg padKontrol for my birthday back in september, and still, I do not know how to use it properly!
Can someone help me from the very basics, on how to use the padkontrol on impulse, I want to know how to do a roll and flam! Everytime I hit a pad, there is no sound but I can see that ableton is recieving the messages as the little sound bar jumps! I dont even know how to set up the padkontrol in the preferences. Yes Im that bad! I have althought been able to assign pad to different functions on ableton ( like start track etc ) . .
so please someone with experience help me please
thanks

you need to set up preferences to accept input from the padkontrol on the track.higzy wrote:thanks for replys but It wont let me map the midi to the drum samples on impulse!
put impulse on a midi track
set the midi in to the padkontrol.
arm the track.
You will see movement on the MIDI input meter if things are working right so far. (the thing sends notes, right?)
If it sends notes, drop a 'pitch' plug into the MIDI track. Turn it until you hear some sounds from impulse, then adjust so the kickpad is kicking, the snarepad is snare-ing, etc.
UTENZIL a tool... of the muse.
Thanks mike, which inputs/outputs should I use as the pad has "padkontrol 1 MIDI IN, padkontrol 1 Port A, padkontrol 1 Port B" and out it has "padkontrol 1 CTRL and padkontrol 1 MIDI Out"mikemc wrote:you need to set up preferences to accept input from the padkontrol on the track.higzy wrote:thanks for replys but It wont let me map the midi to the drum samples on impulse!

I use padKontrol 1 port A as I use the USB interface.
As I don't output anything to the padkontrol from Live I didn't set that up.
