Ableton Live/Arturia Spark

[sarasimms]

Hi Ableton Forum...

I'm trying to setup Arturia's spark with Ableton Live so I'm able to perform a live set with my new drum machine!

I'd like to have the master clock be in Ableton Live; and have the drum machine be synched the the program's bpm.

I'm a little unsure of how to hook up all the MIDI connections, I'll also be incorporating a synth into the mix too.

Is anyone able to help out a girl get her new system up and running properly?

Thanks in advance for your help, I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!

All the best,

Sara

In your drum machine, there should be a midi clock setting that would have to be set to external. In Live, in the midi preferences, the midi port connected to the drum machine should have the sync button enabled. Then the drum machine midi in should be connected to the correct midi out from your computer.

Your drum machine would not play unless Live plays. I'd recommend looking at the Live and Arturia Spark's user guides for more details.
