Nord Modular G1 and Live 8

Post by BinaryB » Sun May 24, 2009 5:22 am

Anyone rocking these two together ?
I am having trouble recording midi cc data into ableton.

I was hoping to setup a couple of synths and use the clips as presets...

Any tips to be had about this ?

Any info would be appreciated.

I rock the g1 and live 8, although I haven't spent much time recording cc's from it into live but that couldn't be that difficult. have you recorded midi cc's before using live? what are your midi settings in lives preferences?

Thanks for the response mate.

I have recorded mdid cc's a lot before a couple of years ago
but i forget the things to check... but you are right it should be simple.

I have the Nord and midi sport in/out on D (D = midisport Channel #4)
Midi Track = MidiSport D Track and Sync on for in and out.

Arm Midi Track in Live and tried global record too.

I used to use logic all the time when the Modular first came came out.
It was so easy...
> Press pause, record and arm the track.
> Ctrl Snapshot from the Nord
= preset midi files in logic.

I guess I will just have to use Logic on my macbook to create these 'presets'
and use them on my PC desktop if i cant get it working in Live8.


Cheers

I would check your midi preferences in live

also, is using program changes not an option? I know there is a second of load time involved so sometimes it isn't an option.

:) Checking midi preferences is a good idea.

I changed the settings around and then restarted and it works !!!

Now to find how to record while paused to get all my Midi-Ctrl data at the start of a clip.

THANKS for the help FastJohn.

is that even possible in live? I'd love to hear about it if it is. in my experience you'd have to manually slide the clip cc's around to set up your "presets"

I've been looking for someone to trade their rack version for my keyboard version, still no takers.

I got a keyboard version too !

I used to have a rack verion when they first came out but now i love having the keyboard version for turntablist stuff with my Rane-Serato TTM57SL mixer.
If only it had a mod wheel :(


I use it as a filter on the FX send and a sound/bassline machine with Serato.
Next move is to start recording loops off the nord into Serato and work with it on the Technics...

Serato-Ableton is going to be a farkin cazy for me!
and then throw M4L into the mixxx...

I just figured out how to do the dumping for presets too !!!
Just record the CTRL Snapshot into a clip and then slide the start of the clip to where the ctrl messages start... its sunday here so im thinking a little slow. :oops:
