Both video layer A and B flow to a Master output (Projector, TV, etc.) The cross fader blends between both layers and each layer has its own FX chain presets. When you're comfortable with all this, you can enable MIDI clocking from Ableton to synchronize BPM, then you can clips speed up and slow down as you change the tempo in Ableton.This template is structured to be a 2-channel video mixer. It's interesting to use Ableton MIDI effects to modify the MIDI being sent to Resolume, try the arpeggiators and scales for example. From that point on, just play around and see what happens. If you want some audio feedback, just make another MIDI track, put an instrument in it, and set it to take input from one of your clip control tracks. If for whatever reason clips don't play, set monitor to Auto for that track. You should see them recorded into the clip, and Resolume will simultaneously play them. Set monitor for the track to auto, and arm the track for recording. Double-click on a grid cell to make an empty 4 beat clip. In Ableton's session view (the grid), turn on record quantizing, to quarter notes. You should be able to trigger clips in Resolume by typing in Ableton. If not, just use the computer keyboard in Ableton. If you are using a MIDI controller, disable it for input in Resolume, and leave it enabled for input in Ableton. (Note to developers: allow way of directly inputting MIDI note assignments to decks.) However, it works perfectly on two machines using IPMidi.

Note: this may not work 100% when running Resolume and Ableton on the same machine, since Resolume sometimes drops out of learn mode when it is no longer the foreground app. Ableton will send the MIDI signal over the loopback device to Resolume. Click (or double-click in Res 2.41) the parameter you want to assign, switch to Ableton and press the appropriate key. Switch to Resolume, put it in MIDI learn mode (Res 3, mapping Res 2.41, preferences). You should be able to press keys on the keyboard - ASDFGHJKL - and see the MIDI level indicator flash in the track. Enable Ableton's built-in MIDI keyboard (keyboard icon top right). Set monitoring of MIDI input to In - this is in the I/O section of the track, there is a row of buttons In - Auto - Off. Set it to send MIDI to your loopback device. If you don't have a hardware MIDI controller, open Ableton and Resolume at the same time. Mostly you select a control, and then press the appropriate MIDI key. In Resolume 2.41, this is in preferences dialog. In Resolume 3, this is in the Mapping menu. If you have a hardware MIDI controller, start Resolume, enable the MIDI controller for input, and learn all the MIDI notes. Here's a picture of a simple Ableton set that does this: I tend to make these contextual mappings, eg. So for example, C1/1 bypasses layer 1, D1/1 clears layer 1, C1/2 bypasses layer2, D1/4 clears the active layer, etc.Ĥ) Figure out what controller assignments you want to make. You can use notes from Ableton octave -1 (Resolume octave 1). I believe in Res 3 you would have to do this using the direct mapping, not the contextual mapping.ģ) Assign a note for bypass layer and clear layer, for each layer and channel.

Since Resolume potentially has many more layers, you might choose to use MIDI channels 11 and up for control, leaving 1-10 for use in clip triggering. I use MIDI channel 5 for other controls, such as switching decks, etc. I use MIDI channel 4 to trigger clips going to the active layer. So your clips will be triggered by C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, A2, B2, C3, D3, E3, etc.Ģ) Use MIDI channel 1 to trigger clips going to layer 1, MIDI channel 2 for layer 2, etc. Important step, will make life much easier.ġ) Assign clips to be triggered by notes (white keys) in order, starting from Ableton octave 0 (= Resolume octave 2).

If you are only using Ableton for MIDI, you do not need a very powerful computer at all. I can highly recommend the IPMidi approach, keeping Ableton and Resolume on separate computers. (Res 2.41 does by default, Res 3 you have to manually enable. In Resolume, go to preferences and enable the same MIDI device. In the Ableton MIDI preferences, find your loopback (MIDI Yoke, IPMidi, IAC) and set track output to ON.

On a Mac, either the app will appear as a MIDI endpoint, or you can use the IAC driver (which does the same as MIDI Yoke).

On a Windows PC, MIDI Yoke is best (and free), IPMidi is also excellent and allows sending MIDI over network.
