Re: Stylus RMX and EDP

[Louie Angulo <louie.angulo@googlemail.com>]

Hi Per,
thanx man,on another note im trying to control some Ableton live midi
functions with my FCB1010,so far it only responds to notes fine,i
tried it with CCs(i want to do this because i control the EDP with all
kinds of notes to keep interference) but no luck.It should respond to
CCs,right?
Also controlling the tap tempo of ableton with the fcb is kind of
funky,if u only press once,the drum loops goes really slow until you
press a second tap,is there a better way to set this up? im also
sending a note number to do this.
for the record i have the FCB1010 midi out into my RME soundcards midi
in,and midi out of the soundcard into the fcb1010 midi in,
the EDP is set to midi in.
thanx
Luis
