Live lets you work in a structured environment, if you want it to be.īut we really need to start discuss more of the experimental stuff we all do. But hooked up to Live 4, the possibility's are endless. Plogue Bidule has so much more to offer then what i just showed you. I think this pretty much is as basic as i can get. If you are getting a bit confused with all these frequencies, you will like this next link. There you can adjust the range of the values. If you find that controlling a range from 0 to 12000 is a bit to much for a midi controller with 127 values. You can't miss the "learn midi" button in the sequencer window. If you have a midi controller like a uc33 hooked up, you could assign 16 knobs to the 16 frequency values. You can adjust the frequencies, bpm, value.
To configure the step sequencer, just double click on it in Bidule. If thats not so, check the midi preferences in Live and see if your input or output is not disabled. If everything went right, then you should be hearing a sequence now. Now go to Live 4 and select in a midi track the output from the step sequencer as midi input.Īdd an instrument to that track and turn monitor on. Open a virtual midi out and a 16 step sequencer. So lets delete it.ĭrag them closer together if you prefer and select them all by dragging a window around them. And assuming there are no other midi devices hooked that would show up as a default. This is how everything should look like when you start it up. Start up Live and create a midi track with any instrument in it.ĭon't mind this dialogue. Ok, lets get started with setting things up. You will need to start up your virtual midi application before you start up Live and Bidule, and create at least 2 virtual in/out's. On windows you will need a utility like "midi yoke" that will create virtual midi i/o in Live and Bidule. When you start up Bidule on osx, it creates 4 virtual midi in/out's. You can download the latest version at This tutorial is made with screenshots out of osx. Plogue Bidule is a modular environment that allows you to do some things Live 4 can't do (yet) We will set up a 16 step sequencer in bidule, that outputs to Live.īut first things first. In this tutorial, we are going to do something simple. You will always find something inspiring in Bidule and Live 4 working as one. And for those people it is pretty much the same experience as for me. It became clear that not many people where too enthusiastic about the idea of running a second application.
After answering a lot of posts where i ended up suggesting Plogue Bidule as a solution.
