Create anywhere. Traktor out of the box. Host: I noticed that once Livecontrol is install in the proper places. Is that the way it is supposed to be. Do i need the IAC Drivers. Basically can not control clips etc. Do you get the red ring when you select the midi remote script? Live handles this without issue. When I use LiveControl, initially everything is fine… I can hit the down button and drop down to the next block of 7 clips. However, if I try to go down further to the next 7 clips , things go bad.
Live continues happily enough but control is lost between LiveControl on an iPad and Live. Am I doing something wrong or is LiveControl limited to 14 clips? Many thanks. Can you enable debugging and start the log server then start Live.
You should get some debug output you can email me. Works ok with my liveset 8 tracks, scenes or so. You can try an ip in the TouchOSC network settings instead of a hostname.
Should be the same as the local computer ip in LiveControl config page. The names keep showing Q2xpcA and stuff like that… Help! Redownload from hexler. I have followed every step. Bonjour recognized my pc and my ipod. My last step is that my control surface is set to livecontrol TO.
Before I go through all this, owning the apc40…do I really need this app? I'm not being sarcastic btw. I have followed all of the steps letter by letter, and when i select LiveControl under midi preferences in Ableton, i can see the name of the clips on my iPhone, but Ableton is not receiving any midi.
When i tap on the iPhone the green light comes on. There is no red light. Please help! Hi, I'm running Windows and have everything else working except for one small thing. I managed to get the drum pads and keyboard working one time, but only after clicking yes to a prompt that was asking me to allow the LiveControl software internet access. Is anyone else having this problem, and if so any solutions? Try firstly closing the LiveControl app completely and reopening, if that doesnt help try rebooting.
I'm working on fixing this. Using IPs or bonjour names? Brilliant bit of programming on this and think its amazing. Just have to work out on which template to put it. I have tried both IPs. The iphone seems to be receiving incoming messages i can see the names of each clip , but when i tap on the iphone, nothing happens on my mac. Got the correct hostname in TouchOSC? Also do you have any type of firewall running?
Much appreciated! Hi, Ive followed all the steps and checked over all my settings, everything seems to be right but it just wont work? I'm using ableton live 8. Any solution? Any idea what's going wrong? Then when you reload your live set, hit load and it'll restore all the mapped parameters. Only works for one set at a time though so not sure how useful this is at the moment! The Port fields are gone in the LiveControl application.
It shows both the local and ipad ip addresses…. When I select enable router the ips don't default to they stay at …and I cannot access the port fields anymore???? Great update! I could never get the drum pads and the keys to work but now they work like a charm. My only gripe is that, the device control page returns the wrong names for the parameters.
It use to work but I think something went wrong maybe during the previous update. Otherwise, this things is really amazing. When you fix that I will donate again for sure. Keep up the work because you are change the way I work. Don't know if it helps but I noticed that the labels are returning the wrong names.
And the indicator for the control is returning the right info for the parameter it is controlling. So think you just need to fix the labels. Hopefully this makes it easier for you. Thanks again. You Da Man! WOW that was quick!!! You are freakin' awesome. Btw love the enhancements to launch page and sequencer page as well as the cue and launch quantize controls.
Pretty soon I won't even need to touch my mouse while using Live. Now, just two minor things, is there any way you can have the device page show parameters of devices inside a drum rack. Secondly I like how you added a volume slider to the launch page but do to its size its a little hard to use.
I think a track activate button would be slightly more useful. Just my opinion on that last one. Otherwise you have single handedly built the best controller for Live. I downloaded the latest versions, and it does not work. I literally can not open the editor? I open the editor and nothing comes up.. I beleive I just had the same issue. The only app that I have is the Live Control Router set-up is this right?
I've followed your instructions and everything which I've done looks exactly as your screenshots. My iPod Touch shows up in the Livecontrol installer and all looks once again as the screenshots. However when I start Live 8. Any advice much appreciated. Yup, did the Browse to Live Directory thing, hit install. Would it make a difference if the Live directory is C:Program files x86 as it's 64bit W7 system? That's the only thing which I can see which is different to your suggested setup.
Got it working. Pretty sure my computer was just being weird. Ran the installer again just now after my PC had been off all night, got the same messages but this time it just worked. Works absolutely great and is giving me a depth of control with live which the keyboard and mouse wasn't.
I have followed all of the directions for installation and when i load ableton with touchosc, my ipad recognizes my ableton session and all of the perimeters are preloaded like they say.
In my midi preferences i am able to select live control however no midi ports show up like they do in the installation pictures. I am running 8. Any advice would be appreciated… can't wait to use this! I had problems with Windows firewall. I've followed everything in the installation files, i'm running ableton live 8.
Please help me…. On Windows XP, Live 8. Also I can't get the router part to work yet, even with Windows firewall disabled. Seems to be issues resolving the bonjour names on some windows installations. Maybe windows firewall is blocking bonjour? If you're not receiving any data from TouchOSC to ableton then either, the hostname selected in TouchOSC is wrong, or you have a firewall running which is blocking incoming traffic.
Most of the scripts talks directly to ableton and does not need midi to functions. Sounds like the same issue as other people, the bonjour hostnames aren't being resolve. Thanks, I'll try upgrading if you think that'll make it more reactive. Do you think the bonjour hostnames are also something to do with it being slow?
Works like a charm, I'll try setting up a ad hoc server as there seems to be some slow reactions on my iPod touch not constant latency, more like occasional dropouts. When i enable router, it breaks my touchosc config. I'm using Live 8. It was working perfectly, and then i lost the communication from live to the ipad. Tried to change ports, no change.
I can do everything just fine except when it comes to the router. I have followed the instructions exactly, and my settings appear to be the same that you have in the instructions. Again, everything works but the pads and keys. I have nothing else running that I am aware of.
I dont use osculator so thats not it. Also, where is the donate button for this app? So when I reach the point when I'm supposed to go to the install tab in LiveControl and Browse to find the Live Directory, The Live Icon under the list of applications is greyed out and I can't choose it to install, any suggestions.
After launch I get a LiveControl Error dialog box with this message: LiveControl Error An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script ———————. I got the exact same problem. Tried restarting, leaving it off, and all that. On my 32 bit XP it shows up, and the touch recieves information from Live, but won't send any. I get the error which states something like can't lock on to ports. Also, the only thing that seems to transfer information from Live is the master fader, when I move it on the computer, it moves on the touch.
Nothing else does. The ports are open, firewires are open, I'm using ip instead of bonjour names, and I've tried anything I could find here. I promise a small donation when my grant arrives, if this could be solved…. Okey, so now I solved the Win 7, the problem was that darned administrator thing, when I manually copied the control surface folder from the installer and into the live directory everything started working.
Guess that's the problem, have to run the installer as admin. I'm having the same exact problem — I'm able to use everything but the drums and keys. This is really weird, i have the same problem. Its something to do with the midi port getting stuck open or something. Ive found the only way to fix it is to reboot. Hi, Great App — very much looking forward to getting this going. Have followed the instructions about 10 times and still keep getting the 'could not bind' error.
Also using IP addresses instead of bonjour names. OK… I restarted the midi router in Livecontrol and now I'm binding! The next problem is that the ipad doesn't seem to be receiving information from Live — ie no clip names or device data etc… Would much appreciate some help! Hi, I'm a little desperate here. I installed LiveControl yesterday and after some time I made it fully work.
I could trigger the drum pads and play the keys and I was so amazed. However, when I launched it today, the drums and keys stopped to work even though they get the notes from Ableton and Ableton seems to receive the signal as a yellow dot appears in the top right corner every time I press a drum or a key.
Any idea how to fix this one? Would be really glad to make it work again, it was hillarious…. Hi great program, having some real fun with it.. Everything seems to work — clips, volume etc — but for some reason mute, solo and arm don't. Any ideas. On the setup the IAC driver touchosc and livecontrol in and livecontrol out are not showing in Ableton.
I tried both in Wifi and ad-hoc network and using the default port as in your tutorial but it does not want to work. I add my thanks to the others here, very well done! Have just updated to new version on mac So press clip 1 track 1 it plays clip 1 track 1 Press clip 2 track 1 it plays track 2 clip 2 Press clip 3 track 1 it plays track 3 clip 3 Also the clip names don't appear.
On the mixer the Mute and solo buttons are mixer up but the volume sliders are correct Also the drum pads and keyboard pages are fine. Sounds like its not announcing your device type properly. Make sure you've got 1. Sounds like the installer has not overwritten you old LiveControl files. When you run LiveControl Installer. Please help!!! Same problem here. I updated live to 8.
Great program! Thanks in advance. Thanks so much for this great set up! Working almost perfectly…. Am I missing something obvious? Totally loving this, it would be great to get the pads and keys going too!
I just upgraded to LiveControl 2. The drums and keys work fine in LiveControl, but not much else does. The cue rotary control works, and the master volume works, only it controls pan instead of volume. Thanks again for this…it is superb! I was originally having the same problems as you: Only keys and drums working, nothing else.
Reinstall and everything should work fine. Time for me to just get on with the music! Install instructions work perfectly. Thanks to all the developers. Keep up the good work! I enjoy playing a lot, great work. Questions: Do I have to start live control every time?
What can I do? Is it a problem with my Network? When prompted selected your Ableton Directory in the format Live x. I am soooo close to getting this working…but something is broken. Live Control is receiving everything fine, it just cant send any data. When I launch a clip on the computer it plays on the phone, but when I try to play it from the phone nothing happens.
Cheers for the awesome work. Keep it up and thank you. How can I edit or make my own template from the livecontrol template to just have pages with sliders that communicate back and forth from live?
So if I have an auto filter on a track, the knob for frequency moves in really large step thus not giving the ideal continuous control feel. Am I doing something wrong? Everything else seems to work perfect. Hi ST8, I have probs with the last two versions Windows.
I get revision to run. Using Win XP, Ableton 8. In LiveControl all fields are empty. When using unistall the folders where live is installed will be deleted. Where can I find the IP adress for pc and device? Is There a config file? Thanks for your ear. I got the same problem windows. Nothing to do! All fields are still empty and VU meters too. I remember that an older version of LiveControl worx some weeks ago,but after installing that new…no more working!
Tnx for liveControl!! Thanks man! Thanks ST LiveControl is great. Am I missing something stupid? After installing midi yoke, when i tried to run LiveControl. It cannot detect my Iphone Touch. Is there any livecontrol update that works with python 2. Thats unlikely to be a python problem since LiveControl does not depend on the version of python installed on your system but the one compiled into your version of Live. It just worked fine today for me. Did you download LiveOsc? That seems to help.
You also don;t need to install anything other than the two installs from the site here. Live Control software has to be running. Try syncing to the Editor software first, then try and sync it with livecontrol app after.
Thats how mine first kicked on. Joseph switchedonaustin. I followed all the installation path, running it on Live 8. What happens is that Touchosc receives midi from ableton if I move knobs on ableton they move on touchosc but touchosc does not send midi to ableton. Tried different configuration but could not get it to work. Any chance to get this sorted? I got an ipad 2 as company gift yesterday and I installed touch osc and livecontrol just now!
Thanks for this. I got everything working. Problem I have is I get a big black square inside the template once everything is connected. So half the screen is blacked out. Very strange, as I can launch clips where from the part of the screen that is visible.
I have a problem think so.. Is here a problem? It would be nice if this was explained in PC Version as well……. Instructions in PC is horrible…. I have the same problem already solucionaste friend? Live seems to be receiving note data from the keys and pads of the livecontrol template, but nothing else! Livecontrol is ace, I have just one issue, it is the latency, I am running ableton 8. I have an intel core 2 duo macbook pro. I checked to see if my javascript needs to be updated, and it too is current.
I get the error Program not supported on this type of mac computer, on the live control installer. Ie its only 64 bit? Is there a workaround or should I just get up to date.. Have the same problem, I have an old mbp and i fear the installer is only in 64 bit…. What I did to solve this was to run the installation as an administrator. To do so you should find the command line tool from the start menu, then right-click, and run as administrator.
Latest download finally worked with Live 8. Had the same problem. Now it works! Good luck. I need a 32 bit version installer as well, or maybe just the midi remote script to place manually in the app folder? Make sure you correctly followed all other installation steps, and be sure to restart ableton as well. Hope this helps! Hi, does this work with Live 8. There is no longer a folder Live x. This will presumably mean the Live Control. What am I doing wrong?
Where do I find them? My god…. Im having real difficulty getting ableton to pick up any signal from my custom templates? The pre-loaded ones work fine? Thanks for this fantastic tutorial.
This could also be that the shortcut i was using never updated to run the new Live version and just kept loading 8. I was so used to using midi bridge that I almost made the same mistake. Justin, did you triple check to make sure you have OSC enabled in Connections? I almost made that mistake. THEN you need to make sure both devices are properly connected to an Ad Hoc network or other network. Some templates use OSC messages and some use Midi. Same problem with os Drum pads and keyboard are dead.
Using a macbook. I am on Windows7 Ableton 8. Any help is greatly appreciated of course, as it is frustrating to spend all this time trying to figure this out instead of making music!
Cant answer your question right now, but i could use some help. Did the LiveControll. When I enter midi map mode and click a device, nothing responds to the iPad?? No problems whatsoever. OSX Can see a couple of others reporting this in the comments, but no solution… any ideas?
I was having the issue that many have reported, with the iPad being able to control Live but no labels or control changes being received by the iPad from Live. The cause was cached network settings on the iPad that were no longer valid, namely an IP address that functioned on my network but was unreachable by the host machine. The fix was to reset the network settings on the iPad.
Just renewing the IP address is not enough, it will not flush bad IP information completely. You will have to reenter any wireless connection information you had stored. Awesome work, ST8! I should mention that my configurations are textbook installs following the above instructions. Solved it checking firewall settings and making sure the LiveControl application is allowed to send and receive in the local network.
I have managed to establish a TouchOSC to Live conncetion, so I can launch clips, manipulate controls and move the selection ring. I use Win7x64, Live Suite 8.
But nothing is sent to Bonjour is installed. Using Changes in live will reflect in live control on ipad, but live control will not send data to live itself. LiveControl works over OSC, which is why neither the bridge nor, the 30 pin connector will work with it, sorry. Another program is already bound to that port, lsof -i -P in a terminal will tell you what it is….
