Datahowler "Get Over (Live)" - Akai MPD26 + Ableton

[Ziggamafu]

Is there a better source of lessons or all-in-one instruction for noobs than the tutorials provided by Ableton and akai?

[datahowler]

@dillonlandrum I actually use multiple MIDI controllers when performing live. On this video I chose just to showcase live. And thanks a lot.

PLZ HELP. D:

I have an MPD26 and I'm not quite sure how to program it... I wanted to trigger effects in ableton with the pads but when I do that that the effect only stays on for like a split second, even if I'm holding the pad down. Also, how do I use the "Program Change" stuff?

[OneirologicAlliance]

@erectacocky oh haha you double click on the sound and you extend the knob where it says its length. Happy beat-making (:

[erectacocky]

@OneirologicAlliance I still don't get it. where do I double click? ^^'

[datahowler]

@erectacocky Depends on the effect and how you hold it, but most likely you are going to have to trigger the effect with a clip and then launch the clip with the MPD. Midi map the MPD to the clip and set it to launch as a toggle or something.

[erectacocky]

@datahowler Aw man, I was hoping it would be as simple as midi mapping the Device Activator to an MPD pad. :/

I'll give it a shot though. thanks. oh and nice work with video btw. 8D

Broman, this is a killer arrangement!!!

I got a quick question, you seem to know alot about the software.

I'm trying to set up my pad banks A-D with ableton. How would I go about doing it?

Keep it up man, I look forward to your other work.

[datahowler]

@burtonxboarder Currently working on a lot of videos for Ableton tutorials, don't know how long it will take because its pretty damn time consuming

[niggyspoo1]

hey i am trying to setup my mpd26 to ableton could you help me out

[datahowler]

@niggyspoo1 Depends what you are trying to do but typically your MPD26 should be preloaded with Ableton patches. I custom programmed all of mine which is more of a matter of preference and self discovery then teaching someone.

[thesoulmatee]
