Me too. This was so helpful and clear, thank you. P.S. I attempted to type this comment on my midi keyboard just now...guess I just really want to use it for everything now that it works!
If you can't get sound from your Alesis Vortex 2, watch this video ! An issue for many who don't know anything about Midi it seems. It works now ! Thanks so much for the video.
After a week of trying to figure out how to get my controller to play the sounds, your vid showed what was wrong. I look forward to watching more of your vids. Thanks!!!
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. Scoured the web for over an hour trying to find a solution for the lack of sound. I was erroneously promised out the box plug and play LOL You have preserved this newbie’s sanity!
I'm not gonna lie, I've had a specific issue with the startup, and it was addressed in your video after a few hours of having that one problem. Resetting/unplugging and recognizing my device actually solved the issue and track/remote set correctly of not correctly having the midi input/output/source. Thank you so much! I was about to throw things against the proverbial wall. It is one of those nice little revelations that has alleviated much stress. I recommend this video for those setting up their midi controller with Abelton Live.
Amazing content! I've been using Ableton live for almost 8 years and these little details are full of things I am still learning to streamline my workload even more. I've never taken full advantage of midi controllers despite having a few because there's not a lot of clear videos out there on how to map and set them up.
Seeds to Stage - THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was having trouble connecting my controller which I had just bought, I was getting so frustrated that I was going to return it and get a refund but the " preference, tick remote box" worked. And it's AMAZING! I am creating music and maybe I owe it all to you. I owe you a drink.
Huge help with my KL MKll in 2023. Got the thing working by changin the "...DAW" and "...MIDI" inputs and outputs. Still don't understand it, but it works correctly. Gonna check out your in depth vid.
This video tutorial was a great help to me - explained things very clearly. I'm new to Ableton Live and midi controllers etc. Can't wait to get stuck in now.
Great tutorial! I was just wondering if you have that other tutorial about setting up different MIDI controllers styles that you've talked about in the end of this video... Would help me a lot!
Great vid, thought I knew about most of this stuff at first, but I decided to continue watching and learned a lot! Very informative and all inclusive, I appreciate you.
Please can you give me advice. I cannot install my controllers in Ableton. But my different recording software working with my controlles. I use my Devine EZ-Creator Fade and also my Devine EZ-Creator Pad controller. How I can find it way with works my conrollers with Ableton ?
Thank you for this awesome video... I still need help, with Audio device, when I click on any of the audio devices presented "Failed to open the audio device"
Great video. Got an inscrutable problem using Live with Fishman TriplePlay Midi Guitar system. TriplePlay's controller is inadvertently also controlling my Live session's master volume. When I turn controller knob, Live's master volume moves around. Tried to find and delete any external midi control with no luck. I clicked "midi" in Live, selected the master volume indicator, pressed delete, but no effect. Still got a dancing master volume.
Great video. I think i have the ultimate question. I just bought an Akai APC mini to cue music in OBS for shows. I want to assign for example 5 triggers (music tracks) to the same volume slider but cannot seem to figure this out. Thanking you in advance for any suggestions. Keep up the great work.
From some reason my MPD32 says "DUMP" in the setup preference section and i have to unplug and plug it back in to get to work. All of my other MIDI devices configure right away. Im running windows 10 and i have Ableton 9.
Very informative video! One question if you don't mind, sir! Do these knobs have any kind of built in control over Ableton mixer? I have an MK2 Mini and it seems to only control the device via the blue hand. I understand that I can manually map track volume or pan for instance to these knobs....but may be I'm missing something and there's a built in script that allows to have instant out of the box control at least over track volume?...Will strongly appreciate if you find a minute to answer! Have a good one!
Hey thanks a bunch for the help. Was wondering if there's any way of changing the keyboard velocity settings for when you're playing? It's soft to the touch and this is throwing me off.
So I followed your steps exactly, but by 3:40 in this video when you're getting the input to show up on the screen, mine does nothing. It seems so easy, but what am I doing wrong?!?!?
I have the track "Armed," My Midi interface is showing up on the preferences---> MIDI Link page, I've got it both the track and remote buttons clicked on. I'm at a loss!
6:10 So if the MIDI keyboard that I plug into Ableton, isn't listed on the list they provide, I CAN still use that keyboard to be an input or output source of sounds?
Hi Great course With my Midi keyboard connected and track is armed - when i press Midi on ableton, the drum pads in the drum rack are not highlighted for some reason. Other parameters in the drum rack are highlighted though. So, I cannot seem to map any of the ableton drum pads to my MIDI. Can you please help
Just got mine and it was working fine for a few hours, now when i plug it in the lights on my mpk 261 don't light up. the dash is lit and on. abelton doesn't show the option to change input and output in the preferences anymore
Oh and when I click on ASIO I get no Audio. But when I keep it on WASAPI (Shared) now I have audio again. I don’t understand that. The internet says to download ASIO4all to enhance audio and and that it’s a more professional grade than the standard WASAPI. Have ever heard of this issue?
So first of all do I have to download the Ableton Live Lite before using any controller ? I meant I have the AKAI MPD md218 and it comes with Ableto Live Lite but I suppose I need to register in Ableton web site and then get the sofware?
I have this problem where the notes I play on the keyboard dont sync up with ableton. For example when I play a C on the keyboard it shows a G. pls help im going crazy
Could be the case if you‘re using sounds from sound packs (like 808s or instruments). Try using the controls section in Ableton‘s simpler/sampler to transpose the note until it matches the c. Check if it’s correct with abletons tuner✌️
great vid! - clear and useful. any recommended Korg Midi Controllers? i already have a microKorg, would you recommend skipping a midi controller with a keyboard, and just get a launch pads? thanks!
Im use the Novation Launchkey mini mk3.. ableton live suite version 10.1.3 and when when i push SHIFT the session pad does not turn on, please help.. only turn on the drum and custom pad
I have an arturia keylan and it wont send midi to ableton OR ableton is not recognising it... My settings are: control surface: keylab essential, input: arxturia ... port 2 and output: arcturia... port 2. Tracking and remote are both on and the midi track is armed with auto selected.. What else may i be doing wrong?
I have the asme controller and I set up all as you said but I can't trigger the cliplsots. In the controller it lights the pads but the pads don't trigger the clips. What am I doing wrong?
You were a HUGE help. I searched for over an hour to learn how to make my keyboard work with Ableton. Thank you.
You weren't alone. :)
@ go into the "sounds" menu to the left and then choose from "piano and keys"
@@ThomasMcIntosh hey mister do you own a novation launckey 25?
yeah same here ... your tuto rox dude !
Me too. This was so helpful and clear, thank you.

Relatable content
I just spent 30 minutes looking for resources. This was by far the most helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much. I've just started as a hobby and it's so much easier when explained right from the beginning for people starting from scratch.
This was very helpful. Explaining what each of the buttons in Live did, made it more clearer as to how Midi works in Live.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. Scoured the web for over an hour trying to find a solution for the lack of sound. I was erroneously promised out the box plug and play LOL You have preserved this newbie’s sanity!
Top Tip learned from this tutorial! For a midi controller you need to enable REMOTE in your Ableton Midi Preferences before you can MAP midi
I'm not gonna lie, I've had a specific issue with the startup, and it was addressed in your video after a few hours of having that one problem. Resetting/unplugging and recognizing my device actually solved the issue and track/remote set correctly of not correctly having the midi input/output/source. Thank you so much!

Thank you for making this so easy to understand. Very helpful!!
Im here in 2022 after finding my controller(Launchkey Mini) and decided to learn Ableton Lite, by far the best tutorial online!
Brilliant video! I also searched everywhere to try to get my M-Audio keyboard working and you gave me the answer.... Thank you :)
Me to. Success!
i have the same, have you ever had a problem that it just doesnt detect key presses?
I love you man please don't stop making videos for this channel. You have a gift for teaching. 🙌
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! You mentioned there's a section about mapping, is there another video about it?
thank you so much took me legit four hours to find the right video
Great vid, thought I knew about most of this stuff at first, but I decided to continue watching and learned a lot! Very informative and all inclusive, I appreciate you.
this was so much more informative than ableton's tutorial. many thanks.
Easily some of the best tutorials on YT. Thorough and incredibly well explained :o)
Thank you! Straight to the point and answered my question "Why can't I assign my micro knobs" - "Remote needs to be turned on".
Please can you give me advice. I cannot install my controllers in Ableton. But my different recording software working with my controlles. I use my Devine EZ-Creator Fade and also my Devine EZ-Creator Pad controller. How I can find it way with works my conrollers with Ableton ?

valuable information you're a good teacher thanks
Hey thanks a bunch for the help. Was wondering if there's any way of changing the keyboard velocity settings for when you're playing? It's soft to the touch and this is throwing me off.
yep i made a whole video on the device you can use for this: th-cam.com/video/0NiiMmVbDg0/w-d-xo.html
What Ableton version should I have for this device?
regards,
Hi .. did you do one that links Ableton to Arturia KeyLab MKii?
Very good explanation. Thanks
Great video. Question, for scripts to work does remote need to be on? Or will scripted controls work regardless?
this is better than the official Ableton tutorial
So I followed your steps exactly, but by 3:40 in this video when you're getting the input to show up on the screen, mine does nothing. It seems so easy, but what am I doing wrong?!?!?
I have the track "Armed," My Midi interface is showing up on the preferences---> MIDI Link page, I've got it both the track and remote buttons clicked on. I'm at a loss!
What do I do if Ableton isn't receiving any MIDI input? When I try pressing keys on the keyboard, nothing happens in Ableton.
Plug it in.
EmmettNewmanReddingOfficial bruh
Many thanks, I still have a question though, my controller has some extra buttons and I want to use them as a keyboard arrows, how can I do that
Worked thank you alot! you're the best bro liked
6:10 So if the MIDI keyboard that I plug into Ableton, isn't listed on the list they provide, I CAN still use that keyboard to be an input or output source of sounds?
Amazing 👏 video with simplicity 👌
Hi
Great course
With my Midi keyboard connected and track is armed - when i press Midi on ableton, the drum pads in the drum rack are not highlighted for some reason. Other parameters in the drum rack are highlighted though. So, I cannot seem to map any of the ableton drum pads to my MIDI.
