i want to include some live VST playing in my set-up. I'd like a set-up that doesn't require too much physical space, but will allow me to control two VSTs/instruments at once should i feel the need.
I was thinking something like the Novation's Nocturn 25 would be great because it lights up so much, and is nice and compact
How would I split the keyboard up so that the left side controlled one VST/instrument, and the right side, another? This would split the keys at middle C and B, and the left bank of knobs for parameters of one, the right bank for the other.
The best set-up would be so that the left half controlled a Macro bank in Live, and the right a separate Macro bank (perhaps on a separate channel, allowing for different EQ and audio treatment), right? that way, if i wanted to switch one of the instruments, i'd simply drag a different one into the macro chain, and it would still be mapped out, right? (of course i'd have to do some pre-mapping of the instrument's parameters to the macro controls before the gig, i imagine).
I know the Nocturn series come with automapping, perhaps that could help out?
Anyway, im open to ideas : )
cheers,
