Hi!

I am controlling 6 design spot pros (perhaps more soon) with emulation and I want to trigger all my cues with midi signals from Ableton Live. I have managed to get emulation to recognize midi from Ableton running on the same computer as emulation, but only through a midi cable in and out of my midi interface, it does not recognize midi being sent through the internal midi network. This would be a nice feature as it would eliminate the need for a midi interface and/or free up a midi port for Djs controlling their own lights and running their audio software on one computer.

My question now is what is the midi mapping for Emulation cue playback? Can Emulation learn midi or is it a fixed set?

Great software so far much preferred to American DJ myDMX. Very smoothly organized a pleasure to work with!!

Thank you!

Ginza, Welcome to the forums and thank you for your kind words about our emulation product. Let me talk with the developer and I will get back to you.
Sincerely,

Hi,

I have the exact same question Ginza posted about getting the midi maps to control emulation from Ableton Live (or Max/MSP). Can a response be posted publicly, or can I also be sent the reply?

Many Thanks.

Hello chris. Are you looking for the generic midi map xml for emulation? Let me know.

i am trying to use the akai lpd8 to launch scenes. the midi light comes on when i hit pads but i cannot figure out how to assign scenes to pads. any help thought this trigger was plug and play with this program

soul, in emulation the go buttons are pre mapped for you. You're using emulation correct?
Sincerely,

Here is a PDF of the generic midi map for emulation for whoever needs it.

Sincerely,

yes i am using emulation. if they are premapped then why am i getting no action except the midi
light?

Soul, I am not really sure. We are looking into it. Appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,

ok thank you i will be waiting for your response. would also like to know if it is capable to control emulation and ableton live at the same time from the akai apc40.

Thanks for all your help with this James, it looks like I'm not the only one out there trying this. Looking forward to the answer about the APC 40.

Yup your not the only one.
Soul, it will be about a week before we can have a definite answer for you.
Sincerely,

james thank you very much. the sooner the better. i am leaving for tour july 5 and this is the part of my show that is not yet complete.

I got complete response on all controls from within Max/MSP! Soul, if you have Max and Max for Live use the ctlout object to send control changes to Emulation. Between that and the midi map Jingles posted you should be in business!

Soul, this is the reply i was given by one of our techs, "The 8 pads are mapped to the playback-buttons at the top of the Emulation screen. The 8 knobs control the speed of those playbacks.

So if your customer has troubles using the device then:
- are there cuelists programmed under the the top playback-buttons? (otherwise you're firing playbacks that don't have anything to do)
- can he reset the LDP8 to factory-defaults? (the midimap uses the default settings)"
Let us know.
Sincerely,
