Dummy clips in Ableton are hugely useful and can be open up a whole world of possibilities for performance and midi control. Here is a nice tutorial from the DSP Project showing how to trigger an envelope curve from one pad on the...

So Tom Cosm is pretty much a Jedi of Ableton and an awesome teacher who shares all his stuff for free (coupled with a very cool way to make it all sustainable and grow) and this is a very innovative tutorial to get to another level of automation. This series of videos cover the use of the IAC driver (or MIDIyoke on PC) with Ableton Live to get another level or dimension of automation control with this particular video showing the basics of set up, use for triggering clips, turning on parameters and automating parameters. Ableton Live and IAC Drivers - Part 1 from Tom...

This is a very old tip i wrote down and is probably outdated now. Nevertheless i'll post it just in case anyone is using an older version of cubase. You never know. 🙂 One of the things i used to have trouble with was wanting to get my midi controllers controlling the virtual instruments on my computer. The ones in question were the cme uf6 keyboard (knobs and sliders), and a uc-16 controller (knobs) I'd heard about remote control, but my previous tests had no luck..This time though i stuck with it and worked it all out, so here's what i did. First open cubase sx 3. Go to device manager, remote devices. generic remote, and delete everything (just to tidy it up). Then add a controller in the top panel of the two. NOW click Learn whilst moving the first controller (on the cme). I found it took a bit of wiggling before cubase picked it up, but once it did, it displayed the controller number. THen i went to the uf editor for my cme keyboard, and clicked on send. This bought up the rotarys and faders for when the light is on (on the keyboard for the rotary's) And for the faders when the 2nd / bottom led is on. NOTE When the light is not on the rotarys and the first light is lit for the faders these appear to be the default settings so therefore not need to be changed, as they are mapped to 74, 71, 73, 72, 10, 91, 93 (and whatever midi message tempo is). The faders are all set to...
