Session 5: Controllerism & Automation

We used Ableton in this session. My understanding of the DAW is becoming stronger however I am still at a novice level understanding the navigation.

Automation

If you click on a parameter (for example frequency’s) then return into midi edit mode you can automate as you wish.

Mapping

CMD + M = Mapping

This allows you to map controls to your midi keyboard.

CMD + K = Keyboard Mapping

This allows you to map keyboard midi controller to edit window parameters.

These are the correct MIDI preference settings for future reference.

Write automation:

Arm a channel:

Scenes:

You can play patterns that fit together though scenes.

IAC Driver

You can find this in midi controller window studio.

You can use a IAC driver to route playback from channels however I was very lost and didn’t really understand the process.


Automation Apps

‘Touch OSC’

OSC: Open Sound Control

Using an iPad or iPhone and turning it into a controller.


Teacher Facts

Granted Synthesis: Related to sampling but it takes samples into little pieces. Normal sound waves form playback, left to right however granted synthesis play different parts at different rates.
