Re: [LCtalk] Ableton Live controlling LanBox LCX

[Kurt Hentschlager]

Hi Blair,

thanks a lot, I see what you mean,
affirmative the looping method, it does seem to lend itself quite 
beautifully for live applications

I am working on an installation, where sound and lights are 
synchronized, more of a classic linear composition.

trying like you to find a way for more intuitive access to the Lanbox.  
To address fixtures directly through Note On's / velocity values for my 
current project is the preferable mode, rather than triggering cue lists 
or stepping through cue lists through bank & program changes, where you 
need to switch focus between the LcEdit and the Audio sequencer. The 
'include LcEdit" method does address though the Note Off issue, as you 
are triggering the LanBox on its "Meta" level. Plus level qualities like 
"transparency" etc. can be utilized too. So for everything more complex 
thats a good way to go.

in regards to controlling Note Off's I, am struggling at the moment with 
what seems to be either a bug in Logic or myself having lost it.., too 
often the entire MIDI output from my lanbox-instrument vanishes, and I 
have to rebuild everything from scratch, very strange..., so couldn't 
check yet on the reliability of the Note Off" Controller 65 = 127 that 
Jon mentioned when used within Logic.

best

Kurt
