I've just updated the video with annotations too.

Awesome! - nailed it! i had forgotten about Send Control.

Skulpture

Great - glad you are sorted. Don't forget to change the Controller Number each time you add a new one.

dbini

yeah - and set up all the Control Sends and activate them one at a time when MIDI Learning. i'm only looking at 6 controllers so it shouldn't get too complicated.

thanks G, that's another pint i owe you...

Fred

you may find that to use a note as a control you will also have to send the note off with a small delay afterwards (Which can be just a send note with velocity set to zero).

dbini

now i'm trying to do the same thing on a WIndows machine: send MIDI control from Izzy to Ableton. Windows doesn't have the Isadora Virtual MIDI function, so does anyone know how i can do this?

Might work - never used it but have it in my bookmarks.

Hello,

I am using Isadora and Ableton Live "talking" via MIDI, in both directions, perfectly on Mac (Isadora MIDI ports) and PC / Windows 7 (VirtualMIDI ports) almost two years.

(http://vimeo.com/84267089)

But I could not monitor and control the MIDI timecode and track the position of the cursor on Ableton Live.

Anyone have any idea how to do this?

Is this any help?
