Ableton Live Beta & Keith McMillen Softstep midi controller
Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 9:50 pm
Hi,
I'm using the Keith McMillen SoftStep for some weeks but I still couldn't get it working for my Ableton Live Loop-Setup. What are my faults? In past I used the Behringer FCB1010 MIDI-Footcontroller (it's good too, but too heavy for traveling with train). I tried with two different variants:
a) running in following order: Win7 x64 -> Midiyoke -> SoftStep Editor -> Ableton Live 8.3.3 (32-Bit) =
b) running in following order: WIn7 x64 -> LoopMidi -> SoftStep Editor -> Ableton Live 8.4b6 (64-Bit) =
Both variants doesn't work.
Btw: The latest firmware update is installed and the latest SoftStep editor is working.
So what is my problem? The problem is, that Ableton Live doesn't receive any MIDI signals. But I don't know where is the fault.
I have now (this is exactly what I want to run in Ableton Live with SoftStep) a setlist with following 2 scenes which I can switch - works fine:
1 - global [GLOB]
2 - looper 1 & looper 2 [L1X2]
> (all Screenshots in a collection)
---------
Could you please help me?
Big thanks in advance!
PS.: I really like the less weight of the SoftStep and won't use the Behringer FCB1010. But it looks like I couldn't move to use the SoftStep.
Sorry for my bad english!
