- Learn how to set up a MIDI connection between Ableton Live and another program on your computer.
I like to think of this as using a virtual MIDI cable, because I like to have something physical to imagine when I’m doing things digitally. So I’m going to show you how to create these virtual MIDI cables so you can control another program on your computer with Ableton Live.
Side note: The example in this tutorial is sending MIDI out of Ableton Live, but you can use this same process with any other programs that you want to send or receive MIDI.
What you’ll learn:
-Using IAC driver on Mac
-Using LoopBe1 on PC
-Configuring the IAC driver
-Understanding buses & ports
-Configuring Ableton
-Understanding track, sync, and remote
-How to connect MIDI to other software (I use ProPresenter in this tutorial)
PS. What software do you want to control with Ableton? ProPresenter? Main Stage? Leave a comment and let me know!

Thank you. I was trying to use Swift to send midi to Ableton, running in circles. All I needed was to check the box to put the IAC driver online, but your video saved me.
OBS is a program that has very few explicit tutorials regarding this type of midi control from AL.
Can you connect Playback and Ableton?
Hey man , keep up the good work ! I would like to control/Sync Logic Pro’s MIDI Clock with Live using the IAC Driver. I know there’s Ableton Link , but it’s not what I’m looking for.
QLC+ please. That seems to be what a lot of people are looking for considering it's free and open source. Thanks
I'm very interested in using a DAW to control lighting cues in QLC+. That way, I can run a click and guide track to in-ears and have all the lights run automatically.

Wholy crap I looked for this for hours, could not remember how to do this to save my life lol party on
Hello, I have long wondered how I can set up the microphone through Ableton to Discord directly, so that I can use the mic functions in Ableton directly to Discord. Could you show how this can be done?
Mainstage please!
how about controlling one instance of Ableton with another?
I’m also looking for this. Want the mac running backingtracks in ableton, to control the ableton of the keyboard player so his sounds/scenes change automatically
