I seem to have a problem with the demo of Live 8 with the configure settings.

In the FAQ's

Why aren't my third-party plug-ins working correctly with Live 8's Configure Mode?

I have followed instructions to resolve this issue but cannot find the application data or more importantly the options.txt file which needs altering

"Windows XP/2000

Launch Explorer.
Select Tools/Folder Options/View.
Check "Select hidden files and folders."

following this did not reveal the applications data folder??? I must be doing something wrong!

I have not as yet enabled the 14-day free trial as I want to be able to fully appreciate what Live 8 can do and not spend time trying to find a fix for the bug....any one have any idea?

thanks



edit : just to add, this the route in Windows Explorer that I'm using to find the Application Data

C:\Program Files\Ableton\Live 8.0.1

and the folders that are available are
Docs
Legal
Redist
Install
Program
Resources
and the PDF licence file

Should the Application Data be in this section?




Ok ok... so I have found the Application Data here

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Ableton\Live 8.0.1\Preferences\

but no Options.txt?

you have to create the Options.txt by yourself and write in the commands you want to take effect on live

cheers

AHHHHHH! I see

thank you very very much.

Hi there,
i did everything with the Options.txt file what they say, but i have still problems with the Oddity synth.
It still won't recognise any parameter when configure mode is on.
Does anybody knows how i can get ableton recognise the parameters of the oddity?
I am using it in a new project, and now i cant continue working on it.
It was no problem with the 7 version.

Thanks

After I sorted and compressed IDs, everything's in range. Your max ID always has to be greater than or equal to the max ID in use. Sort and compress IDs is your friend; it's on the last page of the instrument properties.

Try this:

SuperSaw

ew

If my Max ID is less than my Max ID in use how do I change it?

NEVERMIND, got it!

So oke oke. First of all i got a big mistake OS Win 7 64bit.
Finally i found also there the Application Folder with the Preferences Folder the Preference.cfg and put my Options.txt inthere with the Parameter.

Oddity Still dont work. Now i saw that Supersaw. Where do i have to put it? and whats about those Max IDs? i dont get it..

Can someone write short step by step how to use this supersaw for the Max IDs to get my Oddity (& Minimonsta) Parameters to automate?

Cheers and thankx

even after midi learn many parameters in Absynth 5 and Alchemy dont seem to respond....

Did everything, also the options.txt....

Anyone?
