so I can automate effects but not actually send note data from Ableton though?

My method for ctrlr in Live: – Disable the midi ports of the machine you want to control in Live – Put Ctrlr on a Midi track, load your panel. Be sure to select the output and “Thru from host to device” in Panel settings – Put an external audio effect after Ctrlr in the track’s chain, select no output for Audio To, and your sound card’s channel receiving the synth’s output in Audio From There you go, you can automate your instrument regardless of them being CC or Sysex, they might not show up immediatly, in this case click the small triangle on Ctrlr’s “object” in the track’s chain, click configure and move the controls you want to automate in the panel to see them appear here. You can also use the External audio effect’s latency compensation to fix any latency. To avoid doing all that every time you want to use Ctrlr you can drag’n’drop the track in Live’s file system browser to save it, it might crash Live when you do that (it does for me), but you can load it after. If you also enable snapshot on load there almost won’t be any difference between a VST instrument and your synth, only the fact it needs midi and audio set properly to work.

so just to clarify, in Ableton midi settings you turn off monitor and tracking?I wasn’t sure what you meant regarding the audio effect/ inputs/outputs

cheers for the info guys, I’m going to post this as a feature request in the Ableton forum.  I probably wouldn’t have just bought the upgrade for Live if I had known this.

Cool, thanks a lot, noisemonkey for the plugs.

So there’s now a free, functional yet restricted demo of the real deal that I’ve uploaded here in the ctrlr device panel ddb. I’ve gotten a great response so far from everyone who’s been using the full 2.5 release, really just a small number of support requests that have either been PEBKACs or quickly resolved.

Main focus now is the Advanced wavetable editor. It’s been a lot of fun to play with and build.. I’m taking a small break from it all but the long awaited wavetable editor is just around the corner![/quote:mwtydit9]

Your beta testing package has been sent to the email address you specified.

Thanks for your interest, noisemonkey and helping me identify and squash bugs![/quote:2twv2tgu]

cool, I’ve signed up to your forum and posted on there. I’m moving house at the moment but will be bug hunting by next month.

I really appreciate what you guys are doing with this.. just replied to your pm msepsis

I’ve also got a 30 voice XTK. It’s a beast. Can’t wait for the next release ” title=”Smile” />

Thanks for the feedback, jdieks and noisemonkey,
First – I don’t really use ableton much. I personally have been using this panel more as an assistant while designing sounds on the XT using the ctrlr stand-alone app, but yes it should work with the XTk, and yes it should work within ctrlr loaded into your favorite DAW. Please let me know the results using this panel w/ the XTk, especially in standalone mode. Any issues with using ctrlr as a plugin should probably be brought up in the other forum categories here.

Please note, I haven’t done anything in this panel to address any changes made to ctrl since the last stable 934 rev.. I’d recommend using ctrlr 934 with this panel until I get to updating it to work with all the changes that have happened with the more recent nightly ctrlr revs (1060 and higher), jdieks, most of your questions refer to features from the recent nightly CTRLR releases.

cool yeah. I’m learning my way around the XTK at the moment so will let you know how it goes ” title=”Smile” />

Such a brilliant idea, I guess I can use this with my XTK as a VST within Ableton? Will have a look tomorrow.
