MX-1 pre-purchase query

Post by Goon »

Hi,
I am looking at adding a mixer to my current setup, which is Ableton Live with Push2,Roland FA-06, Korg Electribe2, Roland VT3, (looking at adding TR8 soon). Bit consfused regarding all these different modes of the mx1, all I want is to use it within DAWmixing and recording, using the on-board effects of the mx1, do these get recorded as automation or audio?
How easy is this to setup for Ableton?

Its easy to setup with Ableton Live, there are guides on the Roland site you can download.

You would be using the MX-1 in External Mixer mode with Live and you can still use the MX-1 master and beat efx.

The only downside is that all the performance stuff isn't recorded into Ableton as automation... you can however record your performance live, i.e. capture the resulting audio from your performance.

Got my MX1 now, how have you guys setup the midi in ableton? when i press start on mx1 the tr8 starts as it should yet ableton does nothing. which is best way for this to be setup, I also have push2 as my main midi input controller.
