Thank you so much for those infos. May I ask how to output midi to the SPDSX? (Playing a midi track in Ableton and getting the sound out fo the spdsx pro). What should be done within the SPD and Ableton ? Could it work with the computer to USB cable or midi to usb ? cheers

I was super hopeful this would be the FINAL video I needed to understand this. But alas no. Despite getting info about sending a signal, I was unable to determine which note my pad actually sent anything to despite seeing midi input signals. Was unable to map.

Excellent video and community support. I have a question, i was using ableton and spdsxpro, i was syncing the tempo from ableton to spdsxpro but i wanna use the spdsxpro sounds, when i play a midi track, the ableton metronome have a really big difference between the spdsxpro tempo. sdpxpro have the correct bpm, but is a delay between the soft and the pad. This is like a midi latency problem. Could you share some info or a video about this?

hmmmm - IF I get you right you send MIDI from Ableton Live to the SX Pro to trigger the sounds there? If you get some notice-able latency this could be quite a few things. Here s some info on the whole latency topic: kzitem.info/news/bejne/yWemmWhtpp-DYKg

Thank you for all your work! I am new to the SPD SX PRO and Ableton, and I have a basic question: can Ableton receive sounds that I've created on my SPD SX PRO via MIDI? Or must the sounds be already in Ableton? I'm trying to record by playing my SPD SX PRO, and have each pad as a separate track in Ableton, so I can later edit the MIDI in Ableton, but I need the sounds to come from the SPD, not the Ableton sounds. Thanks again!

Hey it all could be set up but working a little different then you described. MIDI is ‚just‘ a controlling signal - it is not sending Audio - but you can set up the SX to stream the Audio and record that in Ableton Live and edit afterwards . I made a few courses going through the basics and explaining connection types, you can find those here: blog.abletondrummer.com/online-courses/

cheers from a newbie LIVE user. Question: using LIVE 11 (not max for LIVE) is it possible to assign the bar pads across the top of the Roland SPD-SX Pro to start/stop/loop in LIVE? Or must I have max for LIVE to configure this operation? I believe you may have addressed this in your video, though I am just checking that I understood you correctly. Some of the midi control/mapping information is a bit outside my understanding. Thank you for the great content, I'm learning so much. Cheers from small town Colorado!

Hey - yep you can use the native MIDI MAP function of Ableton Live to access 'some' parameters e.g. like global transport start/stop. IF you want to start using individual loops on/off this method would require sending a different MIDI note for each loop (= setting up different notes on each kit + kit changes on SX Pro). Using my M4L devices would give you more freedom and guidance for setting up things e.g. my SX Session Control device (works for 95% for the SX PRO). You can always get the free 90 days Ableton Live Suite trial to check out if the investment makes sense. kzitem.info/news/bejne/qmmQmKN-i4SFaYY

@@matturmy yep it is possible - there are two options: using CC#4 for pedal position with Sampler and connect this to "Sample Selection" (=this way you can have more then open/close but half-open etc. as well) OR using a M4L plug changing the MIDI note pitch the SX pad is sending via the ideal position between Open/Close state - planning to release this over the next weeks...

Are we talking SX or SX PRO? SX can be used for 2 MONO outs and the PRO for even more. For both you would need to install the audio driver and you would need to set the routings in your SX. Here's one video of my course on how to set this all up for the SX abletonkurse.teachable.com/courses/spd-sx-with-ableton-live/lectures/3599549

hi! i was wondering if u could use the dials to navigate through scene up and down? i tried to map it but it didnt work. do you know if there is a way to map this?
@abletondrummer
Жыл бұрын
Yes that's possible - you want to activate the "MIDI Map Mode" (top right corner button which says "MIDI". Under your last scene visible you now get a row which shows a PLAY, STOP, ARROW UP/DOWN + A NUMBER BOX. This NUMBER BOX is the one you want to MIDI map to a dial of the SX. Now leave/turn off the MIDI MAP Mode. Now you can control the selection for scenes via a dial. BUT this is 'limited' to 128 values/scenes (MIDI CC 'only' has 128 values). IF you want some deeper navigation and Scene Setlist control this M4L device might be for you: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1YRuv2ygfGealHY

This is great, your content is amazing. One question, I use a footswitch connected to my spdsx to play my set in arrangement view. Can I disable the loop and at the same time go to the next section with the same fw pedal, and at that moment not press play and just disable the loop? I've seen the drummer in twenty one pilots do the same thing, he has playback control and deactivates the loop with the same footswitch.

hey man great video (except for the out of focus screen shot haha) im trying to get the spdx to send program control messages to live so when I change kit on spdx it changes track in ableton, (using selected track, a max for live gadget) however live sees the changing of the kit as a pitchbend. Do you know what's happening here?
@abletondrummer
Жыл бұрын
haha - yes sorry - the 'blurry' rec was found out at the end... - Yes the +/- buttons ARE sending PROGRAM CHANGE (not PitchBend). You can't use those messages for Ableton's native MIDI mapping and you would need to translate those to notes (or CCs depending on what you want to map). You could use my CONVERT PRG CH TO MIDI NOTES but this would involve IAC/virtual MID OUT + back in routing. IF you want to change sounds I would rather go the CHAIN concept here. For this I would suggest you check out my "SPD SX BUTTONS TO CHAIN SELECTOR" -> kzitem.info/news/bejne/w6FpzKGnp2OfqKQ For more deeper and detailed control in session view make sure to check out my SX SESSION control device -> kzitem.info/news/bejne/qmmQmKN-i4SFaYY

Hey - TBH a simple foot switch would make more sense as the SX/SX Pro are designed to be controlled via that. HOWEVER the MIDI commander can control the kit selection and you can go up/down one kit via the build in "ATOM" preset.
