How to setup Euphonix Mc Mix with ableton?

[nicolasmasset]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting my mc mix running with ableton 6.
Couple of questions:

- Do you need to have the green euphonix icon thingie running? I'm guessing no, since that's only for eucon.
- Start up the mc mix first, then ableton? Or doesn't it matter?
- In live, in the midi sync tab, choose Mackie Control? Or Mackie Control Classic of XT? Then, which midi input/output do I chose? Do I need to set takeover mode? Which midi ports should I switch on?

That's alot of questions And I've tried em all already, but nothing works!!!

Help!

Kind regards,

Nicolas

Always turn on the MC Mix then Ableton.
I use MC Mix with Logic without problem.

It still doesn't work. Anybody have a clue which midi port you have to set for both input/output?

Euphonix MIDI (Euphonix port 1)
Euphonix MIDI (Euphonix port 2)
Euphonix MIDI (Euphonix port 3)
Euphonix MIDI (Euphonix port 4)

?

And does the green euphonix icon thingie need to be running?

Yeah I know, calling's for US/UK only, I'll try emailing them but thought I'd ask you guys first so this could be a reference thread for other people with the same probs!

Have you a Mac or a Pc ?

Hey guys,

I found it. Turns out it was in the manual all along, I just didn't see it cause I was skipping whole chapters with the "next" button in preview on mac, instead of pages. So I just missed the whole thing. Sorry for the pointless thread!

Mods, you may close this up if you want to!

Although the controller is funner in logic than in live I must say!

Cheers!

Hi bro!

Can you please explain how you eventually hooked up Ableton with your MC Mix? I read the manual and the applicaiton set up guide and I still didn't manage....


Cheers

Loudmouth, I don't quite remember anymore. I sold the mc mix not too long ago as I'm using Live more and more and it's a bit of an expensive piece of kit just for motorised faders. With Logic on the other hand, you can edit heaps more... Anyways, I think if you follow all the steps you should be fine, just keep in mind that you have to start things up in a particular order, because eucontrol is pretty fussy about that! If I remember correctly: start up your mac and let the eucon driver start up fully before you start anything else!!! The it's either: start live up fully, and only then mc mix. Or the other way around, first mc mix fully, then live.

Good luck!

@loudmouth

did you manage to set the mc mic up with ableton live (8) by now ? could you spill your knowledge. as i have not been able to make the controller talk to live at all yet. even when following the manual.
thanks in advance
