Setup
The selection of one of the two setups is made in the system mode using the Group button.
The setups are only used to switch the midi channel that the LX1 is using.
- Setup 1 (LED 1-8 is on) = Midi channels 10-12
- Setup 2 (LED 9-16 is on) = Midi channels 13-15
The setup 2 is used for
Live.
This is how it is possible to control two programs with all controller functions more or less at the same
time. You basically have two controllers in one. Controlling
Live and Cubase or Live and Reason
together is no problem, and you do not even have to split up the controls.
Preparations in Live
First of all, you need to copy the .ALS files from the CD (in the
micromodul\LV1 directory) to your
computer. We have prepared the following
Live sets:
micromodul LV1 V01 T8 Live20.als with 8 tracks
micromodul LV1 V01 T12 Live20.als with 12 tracks
micromodul LV1 V01 T16 Live20.als with 16 tracks (send-returns are controlled via pots)
micromodul LV1-DJ1 V01 T8 Live20.als with 8 tracks and send-control via the DJ1 controller
micromodul LV1-DJ1 V01 T16 Live20.als with 16 Tracks and send-control via the DJ1 controller
These sets include up to 240 control and button assignments. That will surely guarantee a comfortable
start when using the
LX1.
We do not have any configuration settings for Live versions before 2.0, since these versions are not
able to be completely controlled. You can, however, create your own sets for the earlier versions.
Refer to the next chapter to find out how.
After the midi connection between the
LX1 and the computer has been established, start Live. Next,
select the midi port to which the
LX1 is connected. Open one of the Live sets listed above. All of the
important control assignments to the individual control elements are then established.
Only assignments to the track-control functions (Start,Stop,Mute,Solo,etc.) have been prepared. You
will need to program or assign all of the slot-start functions. It would make little sense if we made the
pre-assignments for these functions.
Play around a bit with the buttons on the controller and check if you see the corresponding reaction on
your monitor.
Controlling your Live-Sets
There is, of course, also the possibility of making adjustments between the software and the controller
via LIVEs Learn function. You will need this function in order to control additional functions or make
changes.
If you would like to control your existing LIVE-set using the LX1, you either need to input all
adjustments with the Learn function in LIVE or copy all clips in one of our sets (copy all clips by
holding down the
lower-right clip. Then copy the clips to the clip board by pressing
paste the clips you just copied by pressing
from one set to another using this method. You will need to reinsert any of your effects, since effects
are not copied with the sets. Maybe ABLETON has a solution to load controller templates in order to
quickly adjust existing sets to various controllers.
