I just started using Live 3 . I want to use it for live performance. What kind of devices and connections will I need if I want to use Live as a master clock(?) and hook up my synths and MIDI keyboard?
What kind of stuf could I do to actaully perform and not just only playback my music?
If somebody knows a site with information about setups for live perfomance using LIVE please let me know... 8O

If you want to use Live to trigger your synths with MIDI, you'll need to upgrade to Live 4, which supports MIDI.

You'll also need a MIDI interface to connect your keyboard and your computer.

Nothing will prevent you from playing your external instruments or Live's internal instruments (Impulse and Simpler) while triggering prerecorded loops.
