Hello brother ... thank you very much ... very good project ... I have a question ... how do I do now to synchronize three servos independently in ableton? ... I try or I have not succeeded ... are all three At the same rhythm
Yes you can. You might need another extension on top or the Arduino and program some stuff yourself or simply use a wireless MIDI controller like The guitar wing to control Ableton and the Arduino devices.
You can hook up any analog or digital input/output. We're not exactly sure about that specific sensor, it might require it's own library and not the Firmata that Ableton's connection kit needs.
Very inspiring tutorial man ! Once I have mapped the parameters how can I save it? I have to remap all the parameters every time because Ableton doesn't save it ! Please help me, I'm stuck in this situation...
Super good tutorial, one question do you use an specific servor motor? I have a mg 995 and i do exactly everything you do , but don’t work , i appreciate your help , thanks
Hi I've gotten to the portion where I've mapped macro 1 and just increase and decreasing the value via the knob.. it does absolutely nothing.. I've confirmed my wiring is correct and when I activate on pin9 the servo moves slightly but ableton doesn't update anything.. I'm using a trial to test this out.. do you know if it is supported?
I found the issue and raised a bug report with them.. They've hardcoded the requirement for the firmware name to be firmatastandard above a given version.. so if you import the contents of firmata in to your own sketch it will report the version correctly but because the sketch name is something else it never properly initialises serial on the arduino.. pretty annoying!
Have the same problem ... You say you found the issue. Could you please explain: "The have hardcoded the requirement ..." Sorry I do not understand what you mean, but I believe that´s the reason of no success - so I´ll try to understand it ... THX!!!
Hello Can you control Leds also with the connection kit, specifically RGB LEDs so you can control the color variations, pulsing & fading effects with automation?
I dont know what i am doing wrong, my analoge inputs work fine but when i try use the outs does not work and my Ableton Instantly crashes when i map something.
too loud to trigger actual drums though, your demo is a long winded way of going from digital to analog to trigger a digital sample... lol show me a motor or actuator that is actually inaudible, and I'll get excited.
Hey thanks for your feedback. This is a proof of concept on one way of using the free Connection kit from Ableton. Although yes inaudible motors would be awesome

Amazing man. Very good and straight to the point, yet detailed. Cheers!
that was incredible!!! Thanks for the plain, no-fluff demo/explanation. very clear and to the point. gracias.
Excellent.
Ma man, awesome vid. Subbed.
Hi! Thank you very much for the tutorial. Do you know how to solve phase issues?

Are you able to communicate with arduino wirelessly so you can wirelessly control your servos from across the Room?
Yes you can. You might need another extension on top or the Arduino and program some stuff yourself or simply use a wireless MIDI controller like The guitar wing to control Ableton and the Arduino devices.
great tuto!!! :)
Good work now you have a new sub
Can you hook up multiple motors at the same time?
Yes, but you might have to use external power like batteries. Depends on the motors.
Nice tutorial! Can you hook up any sensor to the arduino plugg in Ableton? For example the muscle sensor of Myoware?
You can hook up any analog or digital input/output. We're not exactly sure about that specific sensor, it might require it's own library and not the Firmata that Ableton's connection kit needs.
Brilliant. Thank you!
Very inspiring tutorial man !
Once I have mapped the parameters how can I save it?
I have to remap all the parameters every time because Ableton doesn't save it !
Please help me, I'm stuck in this situation...
Maybe try to save inside a Rack? Click on the device and hit CMD+G (CNTR+G on PC) and then save the entire rack
Super good tutorial, one question do you use an specific servor motor? I have a mg 995 and i do exactly everything you do , but don’t work , i appreciate your help , thanks
Make sure your servo have enough power you might have to connect an external battery or power source to power the motor
Great video, i cant find connection kit for arduino MEGA with 16 analog outs. and cant build one
Did you find a way to use an arduino mega?
Can you control LEDs colored ones?
Yes. same idea but you would need different code I'd imagine.
Why do you need different code if the code is what links it to the amxd?
Brilliant stuff :)
tHIS IS VERY COOL!

I've confirmed my wiring is correct and when I activate on pin9 the servo moves slightly but ableton doesn't update anything.. I'm using a trial to test this out.. do you know if it is supported?
Should be supported. Did you already upload the Firmata sketch to the Arduino? Does Ableton recognize the Arduino?
I found the issue and raised a bug report with them.. They've hardcoded the requirement for the firmware name to be firmatastandard above a given version.. so if you import the contents of firmata in to your own sketch it will report the version correctly but because the sketch name is something else it never properly initialises serial on the arduino.. pretty annoying!

@@kmlremix6016 did you fix it? i have the same problem
I have this issue. I tried renaming the scetch to firmatastandard and that did not work
NICE
you made my day ! thks
Glad you like!
Awesome!

Yes you can control LED and RGB LEDs.

mmmmm. That might be a question for Ableton
Learn to code you music people!
