#PROVIDEOPLAYER 2 MIDI ABLETON HOW TO#

See this great tutorial from Ableton Certified trainer Will Doggett which explains how to do this.

Use a specially generated LTC audio file in Live.

Use this Max for Live device to output a SMPTE (LTC) audio signal.

However there are two workarounds to generate LTC in Live:

SMPTE (LTC - Linear Timecode): Live is unable to sync to incoming LTC.

Other protocols: SMPTE (LTC) and MTC output To improve sync stability, where possible use a dedicated MIDI port to transmit MIDI Sync messages alone, rather than using a MIDI port where MIDI Note and Control Change messages are transmitted as well. Note: Once you press play, it will take a couple of measures before both tempi align and settle on a stable value.

Now adjust the MIDI Clock Sync Delay until both metronomes are perfectly aligned.

If this is a drum machine or other device without an in-built metronome, you can create a simple pattern with an accent on each beat instead.

Activate the metronome in Live and on the device which you are syncing with Live.

Unfold the MIDI port connected to your external device.

You can correct the timing by adjusting the MIDI Clock Sync Delay.

MIDI Clock is recommended if you need Live to follow tempo changes.īecause of a number of factors, including audio buffer sizes both in Live and in the connected device, the timing of the two will probably be slightly offset.

You'll need to set the tempo manually in Live to match the tempo of the master sequencer. However, MIDI Timecode does not transmit any tempo information. MIDI Timecode is the recommended option if the external sequencer supports this, as MTC has a better resolution.Live can receive either MIDI Clock or MIDI Timecode (MTC): Pattern is recommended if the synced device is a drum machine or groove box that plays looped patterns.Song is used to transmit the Song Position Pointer information together with the MIDI Clock, which is useful when syncing another DAW to Live.You can choose between Song or Pattern from the dropdown: Live can send only MIDI Clock on its output ports. Note: Live's tempo may fluctuate when synced to another device to "nudge" itself into time. "Play" and "Stop" in Live's transport don't have any effect when Live is in external sync mode. Live's transport will start at the same time. Start playback in on the external device.You'll see the "Sync In" indicator flashing and Live's tempo will adjust itself to match the tempo of the external device: Activate the Ext button on Live's transport.Configure the external device to send MIDI Clock sync or MIDI timecode (if supported - see Step 3 below).

Activate the "Sync" switch for the MIDI input port connected to the device:.Syncing Live to another device or application The app/device should also start at the same time. The Sync out indicator shows that MIDI clock is being sent:.

Configure the external device to receive MIDI Clock sync (check the manual for the device/app to enable this).

Activate the "Sync" switch for the MIDI output port connected to the device:.

Step 2: Activate the required Sync switch in Live's MIDI Preferences

Applications can be connected using a Virtual MIDI bus (if they are on the same computer) or a Virtual MIDI network(to connect with other computers).

#PROVIDEOPLAYER 2 MIDI ABLETON INSTALL#

Usually you'll need to install the USB MIDI driver from the manufacturer's website.

MIDI over USB (if your device supports that).

A MIDI cable to connect hardware sequencers, drum machines, synths and grooveboxes to a MIDI interface on your computer.

In order to use MIDI clock sync you'll need to use to connect your device/app to Live using one of these methods: Note: If the app or device has Ableton Link support, we recommend using that instead.

Live's playback can be synced with external hardware and software applications using MIDI.
