MIDI Control to trigger clip? is that possible?

Post by mrdosun » Fri Sep 29, 2006 9:04 pm

I'm a newbie, i tried to search this forum, bought a few books on live. Is there a way to program my controller to play a clip? I suppose that's what people do with trigger fingers and other pads, correct? or are they merely trigger samples from a sampler such as battery within live? any help is appreciated, thanks.

Well if u sync Live with your external midi controller, Live will start as soon as you touch any control knob.

I guess everyone has been pretty preoccupied with Live6 these last hours ;)

go into midi assign mode, click the clip you want to trigger, hit the midi controller you want to use, then exit midi assign mode. Very quick process.

Best,
