My setup is getting a bit complex. Ok... really flippin complex.
I want Ableton to control my scene changes for me.
We are running trax in Ableton Live 9, via a Motu MK3 Ultralite. It has 8 output channels + Midi, so it's lightweight and perfect.
In Ableton I have several midi channels that I'm putting out as well. One for DMXIS lights (haven't tackle this one yet, but next week probably) and as of today I am going to try to set up a midi track to send CC's from Ableton, out of the MK3 to change my scenes and programs. I then need that to go back out to other gear, like the DMXis, my Voiceworks+, and out mixer board (where we can have scene changes as well). Sheesh. A lot of midi flying around.
I can't get my head around it though. Should I send the midi from the MK3 direct to the AXE midi in? How will this interact with my MFC-101? (since I still need my expression pedals and the ability to make on the fly changes if I want.)
Anyone have experience with this? I've been talking about doing this forever, and now that I'm sitting here with 5 different user manuals, a rack full of gear and a box of midi cables I'm frozen... ha ha.
Where it gets really muddy for me is my current set up, which flows from my MFC to my AXE,(ch1) thru to my GCX switcher(ch2), thru to my Voiceworks+(ch3).
I don't want to give any of that up. But I want the MK3 to feed into this system to send it's own control messages to all of these things and 4 other devices as well (DMXis, Mixer board, drum module for our drummer, vocal processor for lead singer.)
So, who's the midi expert around here? Can I chain all of this together, or do I need some other gear? How would you route this?
