Midi-control

The Live! Interface can be control with an external midi device very comfortably. Please note that not every midi device is suitable in this case. Ideally control is done with a piano like keyboard with 49 keys. 48 keys will be used for controlling the individual frame buttons; the leftover button can be used as blackout.

Jog Wheels or programmable sliders can be assigned with different features. This way for example a fade in / fade out can be controlled easily with the volume sliders.

Please make sure beforehand that the midi device is connected to Windows and is displayed as midi device. Then select the midi device from the Live! drop down list. Select you midi channel at which the device is connected. If you are not sure about this, please select “All Channels”. Caution! Eventually MTC may not work anymore.

Press “Learn” and press the last key at the right at your keyboard. Now Live! knows which is the last midi key. This now works as blackout.
