(right click, insert midi clip), like that: Now we have to set the correct midi inputs/outputs for the tracks.Ĭongratulations, the boring part is done.Ĭreate a new midi pattern in the ‘Midi to QC” track Just to be sure, go to the Preferences (in the menu), then select Midi, then set your midi ports to enable IAC bus: Let’s configure the Midi so that everything works. This track will use the first midi track to get its data from and generate some sounds. Rename the Midi track to “Midi to QC” – with this track we’ll send midi data to QuartzComposer.Ĭreate an extra Midi track (CMD + SHIFT + T) and rename it to “Midi to Audio”. We won’t need the audio track, so select it (click on its title) and get rid of it (press delete). Great, you just have an IAC loopback bus configured.īy default when creating a new Live project, you have 2 tracks, one Audio track and one Midi track: Then select and double click the IAC box and enable the bus (check “Device is Online)
In the menu, select Window / Show Midi Window. Go to your /Applications/Utilities folder, and launch the “Audio Midi Setup.app”. On the Mac, there’s a loopback allowing to share Midi data internally. Which is widespread and hopefully free with every Mac. Since we’ll be using audio to automatically sync the mapping, we’ll use the MIDI protocol, The idea behing this tutorial is to use Ableton Live as a sequencer to drive realtime Quartz Composer graphics, mapped using MadMapper.įor this tutorial, we’ll pass some information between different applications. (scroll to the end of the tutorial for a video) This is the end result you gonna get when finished:
