okay im literally begging you guys for help here.
I know not many - if any of you, has or uses ableton 8. However, this is really confusing me.
This is what i want to do:
Use my LP as a masterkeyboard for all my softsynths ( ie. no other external keyboards ) - and ofcourse use it for itself, once i select its track.
I want to be able to record midi from the LP to ableton, and i need to be able to send the recorded midi from ableton, including reso/cutoff, etc changes i do, back to the LP so it plays back with my "tweaks" on it.
Thats it.
Heres what it does now:
I can select a sound, it works - only if its a bass. If i select a string, or any other type sound it either jumps around as if it has an arp on it (but not an arp.. kinda ) - or it dies down quickly and becomes garbled. I have managed to get to work earlier, but i have NO clue how. And that suddenly stopped working again when i played back a track i had made with a softsynth ( copied its midi notes, no CC changes btw ) - it became garbled, and basically made the sound i had on the LP change and become useless.
Now- i can do local control ON, and then it will work perfectly. I can also this way record audio from it - and that works perfectly also. No fluttering, no garble, no nothings, just what its supposed to do - so im pretty sure some crap midi is being sent, but i have NO clue on:
1) how to set this up properly in ableton 8
2) what to enable and leave disabled on the LP in terms of midi - should it send and receive sysex? Should it have both midi in/out enabled? what about midi merge???
I hope someone will be kind enough to help me, cause im bursting with ideas on how to use this in some new tracks, and i cant work with it right now =/
-- and sorry for the "double post" in advance, but im desperate and i felt nobody was checking the old post i did, because of it having the name ableton in it ( due to people maybe not owning it.. ) - and hope this way i might get someone to help me get on the right path again..
