Re: controlling amplitube 3 with FCB1010,found it!



Ok Per i finally found it,but i do have to correct your statment and
add a couple of important things here to save headaches for anybody
trying to do this:

So In order for a plugin like amplitube or guitar rig to be controlled
inside ableton:
The main confusion i see people are having trying to do this is not
only activating "monitor in" but also arming both audio and midi
tracks for recording,this are 2 different things.

considering you know the other stuff like setting your soundcards
inputs outputs,scanning your plugin and setiing its preferences as
well, inserting the plugin in the arrangement view and setting its ins
and outs which Per already mentioned in this thread
go to Ableton preferences and under the menu " record warp lauch "
deselect "arm" and "solo " under "exclusive"
this will enable you to am record both audio and midi tracks,otherwise
you will only be able to arm one at a time.
yo do have to have the" monitor in" activated in both tracks to hear
the input and outputs as Per mentioned,BUT:
even more important is that you have to arm both tracks for
"recording" to be able to send midi information from your
footcontroller to the midi track and back to the audio track.
now you can turn stomp boxes on and off in the plugin within ableton
and loop the sounds in its little looper and have a groove sample of
your choice stretch to your tempo voilai!!! this is what ive been
trying to do syncing mobius and ableton lately,but after messing
around i chose abletons looper at the end to do this,there is a trade
off offcourse,abletons looper is not as flexible as Mobius but slaving
Ableton to Mobius doesnt work too good.
However in abletons little looper  you still have multiply important
options like,undo,redo,speed,shift,reverse,quantization,drag loop
option ot the session view to create multiple parts,wow im impressed
what this baby looper has to offer and very excited to start
experimenting with!
cheers
Luis
