[color=red]Hi People...!

I need "Like Always" Help...!!!

I need to buy a pedal boar to control "LIVE" from Ableton,

I have the (GCX) Ground Control from Digital Music Corp. but I don't know how to set the pedal board to Live.
When I try, it doesn't send notes signals, only this message (16/87).
I guess is the Midi Channel and The Note number but the thing is that all the pedals send the same number(16/87)...

Would you helpme or tell me a system that really works!!!
Which pedal board cauld I use...I've heard of the Beringher FCB1010...!!!???

Erm, welcome ...

Double postings are not really appreciated here, big red text is not exactly getting you many credits either.

That being said, I'm sorry for not being able to help you, but that's just because I know nothing about the subject.

I'll delete the other red post, that is, if I have the right to, we'll see.

Looking at Voodoo Lab's site, ground control looks like it should work ok with Live, although it doesn't look like it is the same as GCX...

Connect the ground control to a midi input. Open preferences in Live (Apple + ,), open the MIDI/Sync tab and make sure that that input is checked on the "remote" line). Close the preferences window. Click "MIDI" at the upper right corner. Click the thing you want to control in Live. Tap on a button on the midi controller. Some info about which midi CC is sent should appear over the control in Live.

I use a Roland PK5 for controlling Live myself (notes work as well as CC), but as I said, the ground control looks ok.
