Tutorial T.2.1. Trigger sounds with sensors in Ableton Live 6
Tutorial T.2.1. Trigger sounds with sensors in Ableton Live 6 Subject: With this tutorial 2.1., you will learn how to trigger samples in Ableton Live with sensors. For this tutorial, we have used a position sensor at input 1 and a pressure sensor at input 2 of your Eobody2. To connect your Eobody2 to your computer, refer to tutorial T. 0.1. First Steps To configure MIDI in Ableton Live 6, refer to Tutorial T.1.2. step 1 Formating the message type in Eobody2 USB8 SensorBox editor To trigger events, you need to generate note on or program change from your sensor signal. Open the editor, click on check current parameters to display the parameters per default. In this example, a continuous controller is connected to input 1 to modulate a parameter as described in Tutorial 1.1. There is no special settings for this inputs. A pressure sensor has been connected to input 2. Pressure sensors are continuous controllers. When not used, it sends 0 and approx.125 at its maximum. To trigger a note, select “note on” in type. Now only note on/off will be sent. If a value is higher than 80, a note on will be generated. Below 20, a note off will be sent. These 2 parameters can be ajusted to have more sensibility. Make sure that the note on threshold is always higher than the note off threshold. Click on save parameters to save your configuration. Quit the editor. Note that on a PC, you need to configure your Eobody2 on the editor before opening Live as it seems that they can not share the same MIDI interface. step 2 step 3 Configure Ableton Live MIDI (refer to T. 1.2. step2) Trigger samples with your pressure sensor Click on the sample you want to trigger and stimulate the sensor. Quit MIDI automation. Stimulating your sensor will trigger your sample at the next played measure. If you want to play your trigger your sample only once, don’t forget to desactivate the loop button in the sample parameters. In the MIDI mapping, you can read the note CC and the selected slot. eowave c 2007-2008 All Rights Reserved. [email protected] www.eowave.com
