By default telnet wants to connect to port 23, so you just need to use the start menu to get to a 'run' prompt, then 'telnet localhost' -- should be that simple.stjohn wrote:hi all, this sounds brilliant thanks!!
ive installed pythos 2.2.3, copied it into the Midi resources, and installed a demo of absolute telnet..
im new to telnet so im unsure of how to connect to localhost 23.
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks all
If you are unable to get a connection, verify that you have selected 'LiveTelnet' in the MIDI / Sync preferences tab under Ableton Live.
Alternatively your windows firewall or personal firewall may be blocking connections. If you still have problems let me know.

Not sure about the monome, but literally anything is possible. I've sent them mail to point them to our project. If they don't have the time/inclination to implement something themselves, I'm sure someone will be able to.Tone Deft wrote:Python gurus - how well would the monome integrate into all this?corporation wrote:now my monome might be able to talk natively to live...

i have Python22 selected in the control surfaces section of MIDI/Sync in Live.
i havent "installed" Live Telnet as such, i only really opend it with notepad and read what it said.. how do i go about installing it??
i went to start -> run -> telnet localhost
a dos screen pooped up then disappeared so ive no idea if its running or not, and ive no screen to type a command
thanks for the help, and great work man. this is why i love ableton live

The monome uses an FTDI USB interface chip, which uses the standard windows drivers, if that helps. I don't own one yet but it seems they're fairly plug and play.

Sounds like you've got a bit of a mixup going on. Here's how to fix it.stjohn wrote:thanks nathan

1. Open an explorer folder window, goto C:\Program Files\Ableton\Live 6.0.7\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts\
Note: 6.0.7 is the latest version, if you've got an older version substitute in your correct version.
2. Copy the LiveTelnet and LiveOSC folders into the 'MIDI Remote Scripts' folder. If you've got 'Python22' in there, move it out to C:\Python22
3. Start Ableton Live, open your preferences window, select the MIDI / Sync tab.
4. On the top of the window you should see 'Remote Surfaces' with 5 pulldown menus that show a list of remote midi devices you can 'assign' to one of the 5 slots. Select 'LiveTelnet'.
5. Now from start menu, run 'telnet localhost'
That better?
(Thanks for all the good questions to everyone btw, I'll be updating the faq with lots of content tonight!!)

If 'standard windows drivers' == MIDI device, then yes. Monome will work fine with a MIDI Remote Script.Tone Deft wrote:The monome uses an FTDI USB interface chip, which uses the standard windows drivers, if that helps.
