21.2. MIDI REMOTE CONTROL 314
Please be sure not to confuse keyboard remote-control functionality with Live's ability to
use the keyboard as a pseudo-MIDI device that can generate MIDI notes from computer
keystrokes for use with instruments.
21.2 MIDI Remote Control
Live can be controlled remotely with an external MIDI device such as a keyboard or controller
box. Live also supports Mackie Control, a topic that is covered in a separate chapter in this
manual, for completely mouse-free program operation.
Before we explain how remote-control assignments are made and implemented, let us rst
make the distinction between MIDI remote control and a separate use of MIDI in Live:
input for MIDI tracks. Let's say that you are, for instance, using a MIDI keyboard to play an
instrument in one of Live's MIDI tracks. If you assign F2 on your MIDI keyboard to a Session
View Clip Launch button, that key will cease play F2 on your MIDI track's instrument, as it
now belongs solely to the Clip Launch button.
MIDI keys that become part of remote-control assignments can no longer be used as input
for MIDI tracks.
This is a common cause of confusion that can be easily resolved by looking at the Control
Bar's MIDI indicators.
21.2.1 MIDI Remote Input and Output
Before making any MIDI assignments, you must rst set up Live to recognize whichever MIDI
device(s) you are using for remote control. This is done in the MIDI/Sync tab of the Live
Preferences, where you can select devices for remote-control input and output.
