Operator Question

Post by twistedfusion » Mon Oct 10, 2005 8:52 pm

Hey whats up guys, was wondering how can i use the operator or better yet record operator patterns that ive made , without it being in demo mode? Ive bought live 5 , but eventually when i have the money will buy the 150$ operator , but for now just trying to record some sounds from it that i can use ..is there anyway that i can do this?


thanks

Use the Resample function, which is basically a mixdown. Stick Operator in one track, then create an audio track, set the input as Resample, then record your Operator playing as a wav/aif file.

Then go buy Operator, ya cheap bastard. :P

it seems like no one reads the manuals anymore.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

I know...I was really tempted to do a RTFM, but I resisted. I must be getting nice in my old age :)

It's because you're in demo mode that y ou can't record the output of your Operator

Yes you can ! I 've done it a lot before I purchased Operator ! Just create an extra audio track, set the input of that audio track to input the midi track where Operator is, arm record, and record a clip while you launch the midi clip in the Operator track.
Hope you achieve it, Operator is damn good IMO.
Best,

Download "Voxenge Recorder" available as freeware on Voxengo's site.
Whack it in the operator device chain as a VST.
Record the resulting .wav file as the midi parts play back.
Put them in a new folder.
Open up a Live set and use them that way.
I'm still saving for Operator..... I will have it one day. :wink:
