Re: [bc2000] Re: Midi learn over usb

2008-12-23 by John Bryden

I find this is an annoying flaw in assigning controllers to Ableton Live 
knobs and sliders.  Movements in Ableton and saved positions should 
output on the control channel!  One of the reasons I bought the 
Behringer was that it has the lights which show the position of the 
controllers.  It works with the Mackie mode but I want to set it up 
differently.  One can use different takeover modes, but it's not a great 
solution as the knobs often don't react immediately.  The best solution 
I've come up with so far is to generally work in immediate update mode 
and then go into takeover mode (with a saved preset on the BCR) for live 
work.

The MIdevice plugin wrapper looks like it might solve this problem for 
VST devices, but it's not a solution for the volume faders.

Anyone know where Ableton are at with addressing this issue?
