As for using the sparkle controller to send the midi of your song to an ableton midi track, I hope that someone else here can help you out. Then click on midi again in live to make everything no longer blue.ĥ.

That "assigns" the sparkle knob to the live knob.

Then click on the knob in live you want to control, and, once it is selected, turn one of the knobs on the sparkle controller. To use the sparkle knobs to control different knobs in live, have the live knobs you want to control on the screen, then hit the word "midi" at the top right of the live screen, which turns everything blue. You'll then hear the sparkle sounds, and when you record, you'll be recording as audio whatever the sparkle is playing.Ĥ. On that same track, switch the monitor setting from off to auto. Then arm audio-3 (or whatever track you chose) to record, by hitting the record button at the bottom of that track, beneath the S (solo) button. On the track where Sparkle VST is open, click "audio to" and select some track, like audio-3, for instance. To record the sound from Sparkle onto an audio track, toggle the i/o (it is a circle button to the right of the master volume control in session view below it are four other buttons, starting with S/R, then M, D, and X). Open the Sparkle vst (the controller should now connect properly).ģ. When you start Live, go to options->preferences->midi sync and make sure that Sparkle is set to off for all three of track, sync, and remote.Ģ. I can give you a couple of tips that worked for me, a newbie using Spark LE and Ableton Live Lite 9.1.1.ġ.
