SounDuke Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 Hi everyone, is there anyone who can explain me how motorfaders reach their positions? I don't know if I'm correct, is it the midi out of the Host application in the PC which sends position data to the motorfaders? I'm designing a controller for Ableton Live tracks, and it would be really useful to open a project in Live and have the faders in the position of the last mix. Live4 midi out implementation is a little poor, is it possible to let motorfaders work with Live?

SounDuke Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Posted July 8, 2005 Thanks! Anyway, Live is capable of sending updates, but has anyone already tried the ALPS RSAON motorfaders mounted in a midibox to control Live? Does it work?

Does it work... it doesn't matter for the host application, which type of motorfaders you use. The faders have to work within the MidiBox, the rest is a implementation thing of the MIDI-protocol of your host.Greets, Roger
Axel Posted July 10, 2005 Report Posted July 10, 2005 Hi Sounduke, i´m just betatesting Live 5, it now has full MCU support for up to one main unit and 2 extensions. It works really great, i think Ableton made the last step to make Live a better alternative to the established programs (Logic, Cubase etc.).So if you are working with Live i´d recommend upgrading to V5 and building a Midibox LC. You just have to configure it as a Mackie Control.I´m using the standard RSAON faders, they are ok.Axel
SounDuke Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Posted July 11, 2005 Fantastico! thanks axel, I'm already ordering the parts for MBlc+1extension, I'll put panasonic EVAN motorfaders so I'll test them. You're giving me very good news as Live is the best HOST for live performances.

SounDuke Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Posted July 12, 2005 Can't help you since I've never used traktor DJ studio, you should check if it has native MCU support

SounDuke Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Posted July 13, 2005 You got some funny time betatesting eh? ;) Good work Axel Fooley
SounDuke Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Posted July 15, 2005 Hi Axel, the beta version is working good with ledmeters and displays? what about the choice of displays for Live? 2CLCD's or the GLCD?
