Behringer DDM4000 to Albelton Live (7) midi mapping

Ok someone who was having trouble mapping the Behringher DDM 4000 midi to Ableton Live asked me to see if I could do a demonstration of the process. & hopefully it helps some I haven't seen any vids on this with this mixer yet.

I enjoy using this mixer as an automation tool in arrangement view as its faders & cross fader give a different kind of control over rotarys. Its a good for a cheaper type of unit to an Allen & heath if you are on a budget.

Plus If you are an Ableton DJ the thing would be excellent for you I have no doubt at much less than an allen heath unit.

do u have to use a soundcard for the ddm400 to work with ableton?

[AshleyM300]

@theirishfront12 If you wish to use it as a pure controller yes. If your running the lines into the mixer like you would then obviously no. It uses regular midi cable not a USB, these can only transmit data signals & not audio itself.

i'm trying to do this exact same thing instead of a korg i'm using an akai mpd24 , the mpd24 is detecting the signal but when i try to map something is like ableton isnt detecting it at all , i'm getting really frustrated:s

[AshleyM300]

maybe the mpc is using a specific midi channel? It could be a midi channel problem

[AllReviewers]

if it was that shouldn't activating all the channels solve the prov??? i dont know a lot about midi.... thanks for the helps anyway!!!

[AshleyM300]

yes the program has a universal type setting ( can't think of the actual name) but I have an large Yamaha keyboard that could be used as a controller & Live has the same trouble with that. I'm not sure if both the app & device have to be compatible with the send on all channels ?

But I always put that down to midi ch problem

[JayDmusicproductions]

do you need a sound card to connect it to your computer and would it work with vdj and would your headphones work with it to cue up the next track thanks :)

[AllReviewers]

yes , i turned on all the midi ports , in and out , i'm thinking on reinstalling everything because i can't understand what's hapening , the mpd software seems to find everything in order.

[AshleyM300]

have made sure you have turned it on under the midi options?
