you should buy an akai apc or a launchpad. It will make everything much easier and it will also enhance your live show because of the lights and stuff... It would add some more action I think. All in all you make good music, I have downloaded those tracks from your site and looking forward to listening to them.

Hey, this video is some years old...so launchpad haven´t existing that time! For sure, in our days I would recommend it too.

Actually I now work with a Lemur most time (see my channel for more)

Thanks for your compliment about my music :)

[Splenken]

@tonvibration now i dont recommend launchpad i think AKAI apc 40 its much better :)

[dnltsn]

nice work, this bass line is bassline VST isn´t? just use imagination to map your clips, fx and stuffs in the better way

[tonvibration]

@dnltsn

the bassline are tb303 samples. I trigger them as audioclips in ableton...

[omarrogu]

how can i save the midi configuration of my keyboard in ableton?

[tonvibration]

@omarrogu

you cant!

Ableton will save your Midirouting of controls (blue background) automatically with song. But if you change some configs on your Midikeyboard (e.g. controller sending) you have to save it there...on your keyboard. Hope that helps.

Thank you! I was wondering If I could ever play live with just a laptop and a midi controller. now I can!

[tonvibration]

@d0gg0d

you´re welcome :)

that clip firing in ableton is great and midimapping is easy. Just try to build logical "groups", otherwise you can get lost without visual feedback on the controller... enjoy making music!

how much is that synth??

[tonvibration]

@ClubTrance88

it is a "edirol pcr-a30", about 300 Euro, but they do not build it anymore....

btw: It is a controller with an audiocard, but not a synth... you can play vsts but it got no own synth or so.....

[djstory]

Sounds good man! I love Ableton Live! I like your style too.

[tonvibration]

Thanks :)

[tonvibration]

Thanks :-)) That´s what the video was thougth for.

Hm..., a "synth" contains a soundengine. You can do these controlls also on a synth (maybe with an additional midi-interface to route it to your computer), but if you planning to make your music and sounds with software, a USB-Controller, which is much cheaper, migth be the better choice.

Well, lately I was thinking of the Korg Nano series. They seem to work well and easy and are cheap! Bue whenever I see those Microkorg videos, with the vocoder, I don't want those Nano dwarfs any more! ; )

Tough decision!

[Irapotato]

let me make your decision easier - i own the entire nano series, and i must say they are excellent! I like the nanoKONTROL most of all though, as i feel it is the only one which isn't made more difficult to use due to it's small size. I recommend the nano line as a cheap alternative to bigger midi controllers

[transparente]

Hey, that was raelly useful. I am planing to buy a synth in the future, so I really apreciate theese tutorial videos since i'm new to theese instruments.

[CountRicola]

cool! also nice music...
