Some clever chap called Robert Jarvis has come up with a way to create a 5$ DIY drum pad for Ableton Live/Max for Live.
The thing works by taking the keystrokes sent out from a small silicon calculator and converts them into midi signals.
This is the second in a series of tutorials on Mu. Mu provides full integration of Max for Live and Ableton Live for the touchscreen controller Lemur. This tutorial focuses on how to change and add devices to Mu and shows you how the structure of Mu works.
Part one of the tutorial is here and focuses on the basics of Mu, how to set it up and how it works.
This video tutorial gives you an introduction to Mu for the Lemur. Mu is an app that gives the Lemur full intergration with Ableton Live and Max for Live. The tutorial shows you how to setup Mu and takes you though all the features.
Max for Live tutorials
This video follows up on the basics of using objects in Max for Live and delves a bit deeper. The tutorial focuses on using chucker, objects, the live.grid objects and introduces some MSP.
Max for live tutorials
New video tutorial up. This video shows you some useful ways to use the launchpad in Max for Live. The video focuses on sending values to the launchpad from Max for Live. Should help you to start building apps for the launchpad and Max for Live.
Max for live tutorials
New video tutorial up focusing on switching modes on the launchpad in Max for Live. The tutorial shows you how to break down the modes of the launchpad and add different actions, objects and observers to each mode.
Monome emulation in Max for Live tutorial
This video tutorial explains how to use grid based midi controllers such as the monome, Ohm64, launchpad, livid block and APC40 in Max for Live and emulate a monome using OSC. The tutorial covers how to send and recieve OSC and what coding you need to comunicate between the controller, Max for Live and Ableton Live to achieve monome emulation.
Grid controllers and Max for Live
New video tutorial uploaded. This one covers how to use grid controllers in Max for Live and simple monome emulation. The tutorial shows you how to work with grid controllers such as the APC40, APc20, Launchpad, Monome, Livid block and ohm 64 in Max for Live. The tutorial also covers an basic way to emulate a monome using OSC (open sound control).
This tutorial video shows you how to use the automap feature of the Ohm 64 and Ableton Live. The Ohm 64 uses a custom script and mackie emulation to enable full intergration between the ohm 64 and Ableton Live for recording and performing.
This tutorial shows you how to add a foot controller to the brain of a Livid builder ( Modular DIY midi contorller). This adds cc control to the brain and allows the use of a foot controller. Should be easy enough for beginners to follow.
Get building!
