MIDI Katapult Help
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:06 pm
Hello all. I just purcahsed Midi Katapult, and am a bit confused on how to set it up with Ableton. How do I being to map to the default pages?
- the katapult seems to look for the lauchpad at the usb-port it initially was plugged into when connected the first time.
- even though i tried all the ports on my laptop i still was not able to connect my launchpad
- then (with disconnected launchpad) i removed all the lauchpaddrivers in the devicemanager in windows (following this guide to show the disconnected devices)
http://www.petri.co.il/removing-old-dri ... dows7.htm#
- i removed and reinstalled the launchpaddrivers and katapult connected nicely
- to get katapult to talk to ableton i installed a tool called loopmidi (http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html)
- i setup two midichannels called Lauchpad1 and Launchpad2
- then configured katapult as follows:
Input = Launchpad 2
Output = Launchpad 1
(the Launchpad 1 & Launchpad 2 are ports set-up by LoopMIDI)
in the live midi settings you have to setup the ports like this:
Input = Launchpad 1
Output = Launchpad 2
now everything works fine.
here is my config.txt file:
Code: Select all
abletonlive=yes
liveusermode=2
// microsoft wavetable ?
// in=Gervill
// out=Gervill
in=Launchpad 2
out=Launchpad 1love
