Xponent as MIDI controller for Ableton Live, without Re-Wire

[djsakebomb]

Here's what I want to do:

Use my Xponent (among other MIDI controllers such as an Akai APC40, Novation 25 SL Mk II and NI Maschine) as a MIDI controller for Ableton Live. I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to set it up, but they all use Re-Wire, which I don't want to do. I want to be able to load up two tracks in Ableton, have them output through the Xponent's Master Output, and also have PFL from Ableton come through the headphone jack of the Xponent. I have no idea if this is possible, as I haven't seen anyone else do it (everyone I've seen is using Re-Wire).

The reason I don't want to use Re-Wire is because I'd like to stay entirely within Ableton. For example, I'd like to load a track in Ableton to play it, rather than in Torq. It's entirely possible that I just don't know what I' doing, seeing as I just started messing around with Ableton two days ago.

I guess, in short, I'm asking how to configure the Audio From, Audio To, Cue Out and Master Out to do what I want.

Any advice/help/whatever is highly appreciated.





EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out myself!

dont no much about the x
but pretty sure in live just set it as your soundcard
then set the master and then the headphone to the cue channel

You just need to create a backup of Torq's DefaultMidi.settings file with the control

assignments deleted. Before launching Torq, remove this file and the defaults will be

restored when Torq launches, allowing you to have all controls mapped. When you want to use

it with Ableton again, copy the backup to the folder and you'll have the setup with the

assignments delted.

You could create a folder in the preferences folder to put it in (call it Ableton); then

just copy the midi settings file from the Ableton folder to the preferences folder and

overwrite the existing file and you'll have the setup with controls deleted. I would also

suggest keeping another backup copy of that file somewhere else (like your documents folder

or something); just in case you accidentally move instead of copy the file and then delete

it thinking you still have the backup.
