Livid Block Multimapping Ableton Live and Cell Dna Tutorial

A tutorial showing you how you can midi map your Livid Instruments "Block" midi controller to Ableton Live and Cell DNA ( VJ software ). This allows you to trigger your audio and video clips simultaneously with one controller and one computer. An ideal setup for traveling musicians who are a one man band and want to deliver a full multimedia experience at the club/venue.

This tutorial goes on the premise that you already know the basics of midi mapping in Ableton and Cell DNA. Both programs are incredibly intuitive and the Midi mapping is achieved by hitting one button ( MIDI ) in both programs and simply touching a button, knob, or fader on the block and it will assign a CC value to the parameter in the software. This tutorial also applies to the Livid "OHM 64" controller as well.

The APC 40 cannot work with any program other than Ableton -- propreitary hardware -- that being said all other midi controllers will work!!!

[abbnerd]

This is also a nice workaround for all you Instant Replay guys out there -- you can have your whole artist video/visuals set to one button on cell dna and the audio in ableton our own OHM Sampler program so when you trigger one button both play at the same time. Please post any other uses you can see for this multimap setup.

Wow. This video literally changed my view on how I want to perform in the future. If the ability to sync audio and video is that simple, I'm surprised more people have not jumped on the block bandwagon.
