Lemur for iPad Tutorial Pt 2 - Controlling Ableton Live Effects

More info - http://bit.ly/zq9Oo8
In the second installment of this two-part series, Dubspot Electronic Music Production and Sound Design instructor Evan Sutton explains and demonstrates how to use the Lemur software to control some parameters in a custom-built effects rack in Ableton Live. If you missed part one, you can view it here - http://bit.ly/AsK8eS

First, we'll connect the iPad to the Lemur Daemon using an Ad-Hoc WiFi network. After both the iPad and computer are connected to the same network, the Lemur Daemon is relatively simple to use. The Daemon will translate incoming Lemur messages from your iPad to MIDI that can be used in your DAW.

In Ableton's MIDI preferences, select the appropriate Daemon Input. Enable MIDI Learn by hitting cmd+M on your keyboard. Now click on a parameter in Live, and move the object on the Lemur you'd like to control it. For faders, this is a relatively straightforward process, but for Lemur's Multiball object, it can be helpful to move the ball to the bottom left corner so that you can be sure and learn only one axis at a time.

The Effects Rack in this Ableton Live set features Redux, two Auto Filters, Corpus, Chorus, Frequency Shifter, Beat Repeat, and Auto Pan. Additionally, there is a Reverb on Send A, and a Granular Delay on Send B. Many of the effects are set so that when the relevant fader is moved, the effect is engaged. When the fader for any of the effects is set to zero, the effect is bypassed.

Once all of your controls are set up, it's time to get busy.
