trouble communicating with ableton
Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2010 12:39 pm
using ableton live 8.1.1 on a compaq laptop (2ghz 3gb ram windoom 7)
no communication between the programs. i don't see any midi
ports related to the maxi patch on ableton.
so i used this http://nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html to port
the midi between them. i seem to get some sort of signal from the maxi patch to ableton but i have no luck mapping the maxi patch to notes coming from ableton or to map the signal comeing from the mmaxi patch in ableton. the maxi patch appears as if it's not recieving notes from ableton.
i might be doing something basic wrong. i need someone to tun me through the basics. (i have used midi in ableton before but only with generic products like the novation launchpad, which comes with automap to do all the dirty work)
so to send mid back and forth from ableton to the maxi patch i need 4 midi ports right? 1-in 1- out 2- in 2-out
so the basic set up should look like this?
maxi patch using in-1 and out-2
and ableton using in-2 and out-1
?
