Apple's Mainstage is another great app for managing your entire live gig, changing patches as necessary. Worth a play if you haven't checked it out yet.
Hello Mithc. I just met your channel and I'm really enjoying the videos. But I have a question: how can I make pro tools send midi signals to change the gt100 bank? Thanks and congratulations for the videos.
You can create a separate midi track for each external device in your Ableton template that stays routed to send to each particular device’s midi channel. Then it’s just a matter of dropping in the various PC, CC, Note values, or whatever MIDI information you need sent on each track where you want it. You can even make frequently used clips on each track ahead of time and save them in your Ableton template. That way the clips can easily be grabbed when needed. I hope that makes sense.
The problem here is that you have to load the file in your DAW on stage. Surely someone has developed an app that can play a 2-track audio file along with MIDI events. If the audio was recorded to the same tempo as the midi file, it would be synced... right?
Question: I have video backing tracks that contain lyrics and chords... I would love to create playlists (set list) that kick off the video and send midi messages for changing presets... any suggestions?
I have a macmillen 12-step. I would like to be able to change the presets without stepping on the selector button on the 12-step. I would rather just click on an ipad or laptop to change the presets on the 21-step. . Is there a way to do that with this setup or can you suggest a way to do this. I called Sweetwater however I couldn't get the information I needed,
Hey there. Yes, you should certainly be able to do this with VST instruments, as well. Instead of routing that MIDI information out to the live instruments you’re playing, you would simply route that MIDI information internally to whatever VSTs you want to switch to and from. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3230, nick_pasquino@sweetwater.com
Got to be a simpler way. Need to have a set list on ipad touch screen that touching the song title will change midi presets. I think set list maker app does this.
No, it can also be done in Session View each change just needs to be on a midi clip the same length as the backing track stems, then added to a midi track on the same scene in Session View. That way the midi track controlling external gear plays back in time with the backing track when each scene is launched.
Please tell me, I want to control by ipad’s backing trax, changing on my voicelive 3 xtreme, during playin, all switchin, I can do that by cubasis, but I want to use lyrics sometimes, onsong probably works just for switchin songs. I want to play by ipad, couse use more than hundred songs, and want to control all operations by tablet, so tell mister, any solution? Thanx for answer...
Hello, Nita! There are a number of ways this can be accomplished, but the simplest is to use this device: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MIDIthru4--midi-solutions-quadra-thru If you'd like to go into more detail, please call my number below.

Mine automatically changes the amp block to Y, and I can't stop it. Even when i use cc100 it does not change X and Y, it just stays on Y. Anyone else have this problem?
This is just to change patches, it does not interfere with a performance, rather improves it to use valuable time instead of taking huge amount of time changing presets live by hand.
Sweetwater’s videos are among the most informative and efficient around. Thanks.
Finally 😅. One video that REALLY explain the whole midi process we need to know for the stage.
Thank you so much
Another great video with Mitch! Now this is going to make me sound old, but I used to do this with a Roland MC-300 more than 30 years ago!
Great video but... Any explanation how to program it?
😂😂😂
Seriously- give us the values, Mitch!
Mitch Gallagher, u r the man...!! I very much enjoy your videos...!!
Sweet Water can u help explaining how to do this, and cc's messages, I am getting crazy, this will help me a lot, hope you can help me!
Really a great video that I can send my son to help him get this. Thanks again Mitch Gallagher for another great video!
Outstanding video!!!! Respect where respect is due

can you control boss me 80 patches?
Amazing what is possible nowadays. Thank you
Mitch, I think it is time for a more extensive video and perhaps this time using Logic in place of Ableton Live. Thank you for all you do!
how you got any more videos on this kinda of MIDI set up? I've been looking for a while now for this kinda stuff. :)
Thank you! 👍🏽
How do you set it up within Ableton though?

Dr sir,Please give me a full vedio of the patch change program in abletone live❤️❤️❤️
Can something similar be done in cakewalk?
Please explain especific for the voice live, want to change preset each song and specific fx
Yeah, but how do you send each unit different signals??
Or does every unit have be on the same preset number at the same time??

Hello, im am a keyboard player.
I would like to know: Is there any iPad app (better if it's free) to do exactly this kind of work? Any help
Daniel Venturino Setlist Maker works great. www.arlomedia.com/apps/setlistmaker/main/home.html
merci beaucoup a toi :))

Could you do this with VST instruments? Using program changes to switch what Voice you have loaded?

But how do you save an entire midi rig into one patch change ??
Got to be a simpler way. Need to have a set list on ipad touch screen that touching the song title will change midi presets. I think set list maker app does this.
Does that mean all those instruments running through one computer?
But you didn't say how to program each device, just show us that you did. And you did well. but... how
Can this only be done this way in Arrangement view?
No, it can also be done in Session View each change just needs to be on a midi clip the same length as the backing track stems, then added to a midi track on the same scene in Session View. That way the midi track controlling external gear plays back in time with the backing track when each scene is launched.

Hey man
aweso Video!!! tNice tutorials helpped a lot
This isn't how to do it lol
more like this exists, it's cool, don't you love it, have a nice day...
Useless
lolz not at all
So this the last touch of the human behavior and how it eventually dies during live performances?
Thx but no thx...
This is just to change patches, it does not interfere with a performance, rather improves it to use valuable time instead of taking huge amount of time changing presets live by hand.
What phone app?
