Using keyboard workstation to control Live's sequencer?

Post by drumrak » Thu Apr 16, 2009 5:35 am

Ive searched around and tried everything i know, but one day i was playing around with my korg trinity in its seq mode and Live responed when i pushed play and stop and the dial would move the start marker on live but only for a bar and it was very stuttery.

I really want to be able to start and stop and scroll around in arrange view with the dial and i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations or experience in the matter?

Thanks alot guys :D

Checking the midi mapping CC for that dial on your trinity and assigning it's CC to anything you want to control in Live Via midi mapping.

I.E.
Trinity Dial is CC 100
Live Midi Map CC for start marker is 100

Re-assign Live's start marker to whatever midi CC on your trinity you would prefer.

Finding the MIDI bank of all your trinity knobs would help you determine what controls what in Live.

Look up Midi Language online and Live Midi Mapping to help get you started.
Hope that helps.
