Is it possible to do these two things?

[Italyuser]

Hello everyone
It’s been several months since I updated LIVE (my latest version is 2.1.21)

I have some questions about new features that are essential for me:

• I would like to know if the ability to trigger the same part multiple times in a song has been added (example: have a part for Verse, one for Chorus and trigger the two parts alternately multiple times during the playback of the audio tracks).

• I would like to know if the ability to group layers in folders has been added

Thanks to everyone for the support

I’m reposting this post to see if anyone can kindly respond.

Have you tried these here? Right click on PART:

I know it’s not the same with trigger a single part multiple times, but maybe helps.

@Italyuser

I would like to know if the ability to group layers

AFAIK, Currently not.

[Italyuser]

thanks for your reply, but no, it’s not the same thing

We gave up on this as it is very complex and causes instabilities because it breaks with the basic concept, so we’d have to re-write a lot of stuff, sorry.

[Italyuser]

thanks for your reply.

Another question.

Is it possible to choose a specific song/part via a MIDI contol change?

Example, I want to recall Part2 of Song5 via a key on my keyboard… is it possible to do this?

Thanks!

Of course;)

Find first menu item “Actions and Shortcuts”
There will be an entry for PART dial. Need just to set the parameters for.

Oh, and thank you @CliveJ the hint, don’t forget to activate FlexLoop @Italyuser !

[Italyuser]

thanks for your reply.

but how can I see all the parts of my project to assign each one a different CC to be called remotely?

@fkalmus

Oh, and thank you @CliveJ the hint, don’t forget to activate FlexLoop @Italyuser !

why should i activate flex loop?

[fkalmus]

Will help flexible jumps between parts (just dont set loop repeats)

[Italyuser]

ok, but how can I see all the parts of my project to assign each one a different CC to be called remotely?

[fkalmus]

any CC, PrgCh, NoteOn value is received
value 0 = first PART
value 1 = second PART

But there is an offset column in Actions where you can “offset” your incoming value… like received value1 = PART1, (or value 31 = PART1, etc… )

[Italyuser]

Sorry but I can’t understand.

I’ll explain what I have to do.

I have a software that controls VST LIVE

On this software that manages everything via midi I have my playlist (which I modify depending on the evening).

I would like to match the songs created with this program with the corresponding VST Live songs, so as not to have the same order.

So for each song of the MASTER program I send a Control change or a Program Change to assign to each Live song (each LIVE song obviously contains only one PART).

How can I achieve this?

[CliveJ]

You can select a song the same way that @fkalmus said - look at action 12 - Select Song - in the Project Actions window. Send CC plus a number to select.

Intrigued: what software are you using to control VSTL and what does it do for you that VSTL doesn’t?

[Italyuser]

Thanks for your reply, but I still don’t understand. What exactly should I do? If you could be so kind as to explain to me step by step the procedure to map at least the change of two songs I would be infinitely grateful.

I use “Camelot Pro” as a Master software

Live is excellent for certain things, unfortunately it does not have the ability to group layers and manage grouped layers with a single volume control.

My projects are very complex, full of songs and sounds, and when I am in the process of setting up shows it is necessary to be very quick to control everything.

Of course you can do that.

1. Create a Group Channel
   

   

2. Route Layers to the Group Channel
   

   

Now you have a single Volume control for the grouped layer.

[CliveJ]

In the actions line 12 set the message type (midi stat) to “program change” and set the MIDI channel(s) you want to receive on. From your program send the program change as you would to a synth. The program number is the ordinal position of the song in your project minus 1 as it is zero base. If you want to be 1 based set the offset to 1. Note that the ordinal position will change if you are using a set list.

[Italyuser]

this does not work for MIDI layers that send data to external instruments.

for example I have a sound that uses two vst instruments, a module and an external keyboard.

[Italyuser]

Works perfectly with zero offset. (PC 1 > Song 1)

Thanks a lot!

[CliveJ]

@Italyuser

That’s what parts are for

[Falfango]

If you have the chance to route the audio signal from the external instrument to VSTL (depends, if you have free audio in on your soundcard) into a stack, you can also route this to the combined group output.
