Ableton with Novation SL MK2 problems

Post by lunak » Sun Aug 29, 2010 3:36 pm

hi,

I have got Novation SL MK2, and want to use it with ableton (8.1.5). I have some problems (for example when not-in-automap mode, when I choose the instrument, I am supposed to get first 8 parameters automatically mapped to SL. And indeed I can see them on the screen correctly, but there's no effect when I manipulate the knob).

Anyway - please review my preferences, I put them here http://drop.io/ofvot7b. Maybe the problem is there...

L.

The instructions on how to setup the MK2's with Live are shitty at best.

I usually refer to this video when my settings go screwy.

There is a section where they show a screenshot of how the controller needs to be setup in the Live Preferences.
Having a glance at the screenshot of your preferences, it doesn't look right.

You may need to pause it when it gets to the section for preferences, it is pretty quick video.

Hi DISTAUDIO :)

thanks for the link, it worked beautifully :). I had different names for some things, adn I think I was a bit lucky also.

I subscribed to news on your page - I suppose they will be as interesting as your help.

thanks!
