Ableton Live 8 + APC40 + Remote SL Controllerism

This video is a step-by-step tutorial describing Ableton Live 8's new custom parameter mapping methodology. The video illustrates how to map select parameters from VST plug-ins into devices and then control these parameters via the Novation Remote SL and the new Akai APC40. The video also discusses how to add and access more than 8 parameters. Lastly, the video covers use of instrument racks and macro controls to map parameters from multiple devices to an 8 knob group.

Absolutely helpful. I really like the various examples and detailed live screen shots used. What kind of complex VST's do you use?

[newechoproductions]

@djspeeddemon I use Waldorf Largo | Tone2 ElectraX, Gladiator 2 | Camel Audio Alchemy | Ableton Sampler, Operator, Tension... | SonicCharge Synplant, MicroTonic | Native Instruments Absynth 5 | U-He ACE, Zebra 2 | FAW Circle | reFX Slayer2 | Image-Line Harmless, Harmor...

can i use the effects from massive on audio track? or is it just for the midi tracks?

cheers :)

Hmmm. Unlike Absynth, I'm 99% sure Massive doesn't split off it's fx as a seperate vst.

Nice and clear tutorial ;)

In fact, before getting an SL too, i was using a crappy Evolution MK-225C.

And used a remote control script just to map the 8 knobs to the 8 macros of racks.

You just need to map the 8 macros like you done in Ableton rack.

You save your rack and every time you load it, the 8 macros of any crappy controller are already assigned to any VST :D

A kind or poor man Automap, but very effective.
