Syncopath as Ableton Live Master (Was: New Software Looper)



Hi Neil,

That's just about the only thing not shown in the built-in tutorial.
There are plans to make a couple of online ones with step-by-step and pictures for the different methods of setting it up.
For now, there's only the video showing it in use :)

I can describe it briefly here though before I finish the rest of the documentation:

First of all, you need to either have a couple of spare MIDI ports or setting up some virtual ones:

In Windows, I recommend MIDI Yoke from www.midiox.com
In Max OSX you can add a couple of IAC Driver ports from "Audio MIDI Setup"

Then you will need the standalone program SyncVSTMaster found on the website.

From here you just have to set up the MIDI routing:
-Create a MIDI Track in Live.
-Set its MIDI Input to come from Syncopath Performer (Audio Track).
-Its MIDI Output should go out one of your new MIDI ports.

In SyncVSTMaster:
-Set the Input Port (top left corner) to receive from the MIDI Port you are sending to in Live.
-Set the Output Port to send out a second free port (This will be sending MIDI clock messages).
-Set the number of bars you want looped in Live.

Back in Ableton Live:
-Enable Sync on the Input of the port selected as MIDI output in SyncVSTMaster.
-Click on EXT in top left corner of Live.

Syncopath Performer:
-Create your first loop while in Internal Sync Mode.
-On it goes...


Cheers,
Lasse
