Ableton Lpass Midi To Plugin Vst

/ Comments off

In this guide, you'll learn how to use MIDI notes in Ableton Live to trigger LFOs in ShaperBox (TimeShaper, FilterShaper Core, VolumeShaper, PanShaper, WidthShaper, CrushShaper), VolumeShaper 4, PanShaper 1, FilterShaper 3, MidiShaper and PanCake.

Create two MIDI tracks in Ableton Live – 'MIDI 1' and 'MIDI 2'. Insert the VST version of MidiShaper on 'MIDI 1', and your synth (Cypher in our example) on 'MIDI 2'. Open MidiShaper, and make sure 'Out to Host' is selected in the bottom left menu of the MIDI Setup area.

It works wonderfully with multi-output VST's like Omnisphere, Kontakt, Microtonic, etc. Like when I use Kontakt I drop one instance on a track, create say 4 channels inside kontakt, then create 3 more midi channels in live and drop External Instrument on each of them, then in each EI box I send midi to kontakt and grab audio from the appropriate channel in kontakt's mixer. Setting up Ableton Live first First, create a template in Ableton (and save it in your Live Library to recall at any time). Here's how to do it (from a nearly-empty Live set, with only one MIDI track): 1. Insert the Maschine VST insert all of the following tracks to the LEFT of the Maschine VST track (easier to match Maschine Groups / Live. In the Ableton Live preferences, go to the 'File Folder' tab. Ensure 'Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder' is ON, and click 'Browse' to choose the folder where all your VST plugins are. After that, click 'Rescan' to make sure Ableton Live has refreshed the list of installed plugins. A MIDI cable (or USB cable if it supports USB over MIDI). Note: Some newer devices may support audio over USB, in this case you won't necessarily need to use a dedicated audio interface. Step 2 - Connect your hardware. Connect the MIDI out of your MIDI interface to the MIDI in on your hardware using a MIDI cable.

When this technique is used, the LFO will play from the beginning every time a MIDI note is received. Thus, the LFO can be triggered in any rhythm you like — sidechain your bassline to a non-4/4 kick drum pattern, for example.

MIDI triggering is especially useful in Ableton Live, because it overcomes timing problems that can arise in Live when using latency-inducing plugins.


1. Enable MIDI Trigger mode

In ShaperBox 1, FilterShaper 3, MidiShaper or PanCake, select a 'MIDI Triggered' or 'MIDI 1-Shot' triggering mode. In ShaperBox 2, set the 'MIDI Trigger' mode to 'On' or 'On (1-shot)'.

Note: If you are a Mac user, use the VST version of the Cableguys plugin and not the AU version, as AU plugins cannot accept MIDI input.


2. Set up a MIDI Track

On a new MIDI Track, create a MIDI clip and add MIDI notes in the rhythm that you want to trigger the Cableguys plugin.

Any note will work, except when ShaperBox's Wave-switching MIDI Trigger option is enabled, in which case only C notes will trigger the LFO.


3. Route the MIDI track

On the MIDI track, set the upper Output slot to the track containing the Cableguys plugin.

In the lower Output slot, select the Cableguys plugin.

Now the Wave envelope/LFO will play from the beginning with each incoming MIDI note.


Trigger multiple Cableguys plugins with a single MIDI track

You can use a single MIDI track to trigger any number of instances of ShaperBox, FilterShaper 3, MidiShaper and/or PanCake within Ableton Live, using Live's External Instrument device. Here's how it's done:

1. Load an External Instrument device from the Instruments section of the Live library onto a MIDI track, then right-click it in the Details View and select 'Group', or select it and press Cmd/Ctrl+G. The External Instrument should now be contained within a Group on the MIDI track.

2. Set up a Cableguys plugin on any track in your project, and set its MIDI Trigger menu to 'On' or 'On (1-Shot)'.

3. Program your triggering MIDI pattern on the External Instrument MIDI track, then set the 'MIDI To' field of the External Instrument device to the track with the Cableguys plugin inserted. If the Cableguys plugin isn't the only MIDI-receptive plugin on the track, select it in the menu below. On playback, the MIDI clip will trigger the Cableguys plugin.

4. Drag another External Instrument device into the Chain List of the Group on the MIDI trigger track to create a second Chain within the Group, then set up another Cableguys plugin on another track, again with MIDI Trigger set to 'On' or 'On (1-Shot)'.

5. Route the second External Instrument device to the second Cableguys plugin as described in step 3. Both Cableguys plugins should now respond to the MIDI clip on the triggering MIDI track. Repeat as many times as required, with a separate External Instrument plugin routed to each Cableguys plugin in your project.
