Micro Modular Help...

Post by Mono-xID »

got my dirty hands finally on of these little beautys but without the manual.I would like to use it within my DAW (Live 8) but i'm curious how it works.I tweak a patch in the Modular Editor and then download it to the synth (to Slot 1 wich shows me the MIDI in's & out's of my Audio Interface).The synth is MIDI-connected with the Interface.So how can i route the synth now in live?...any help is very appreciated...sorry for the bad english

I hope i understood your question correctly... But it sounds like you want to sequence the modular from live.

Try this... Setup the midi in the preferences in ableton live. There is a midi tab you should see a page with a grid with on/off buttons allowing Track, sync, remote.

To sequence an instrument u should just need to turn on the outgoing Track that ur instrument is hooked up to

Then create a new midi channel and set the output I/O of the track to that midi option you just setup.

This is all in the ableton manual in casey instructions are a poor. Good luck!

You should consult your ableton Manual... But it's quite easy. This is from memory... Plug the outputs into your soundcard. Enable the inputs in the audio configuration screen. Enable 0 latency monitoring on those channels... U should be able to hear the device now. Create a new audio track. In the i/o select those inputs. Click arm for record on the channel and click record at the top of the screen, then click play.

make sure you got the right midi channel selected on the modular and are sending it out properly... there are some midi lights in the upper right of live8. best again to consult the manual... or maybe even a youtube video. cheers!

you need to send midi through the midi interface you use.
i guess that the default is the audio interface midi, which is not connected to the micro m.
