Use of one midi controller for resolume and ableton

Post by LeCri »

Hello everybody !

I'm running ableton 10 and Resolume 6 with the link protocol to make an A/V performance.

It's work just fine.

But my problem is i can't use my midi controller (arturia beatstep) on both programs.

I want to midi map effects on the audio and on the video with the pad of the arturia beatstep

If i launch Ableton first i can do midi mapping but i can't activate the arturia beatstep on resolume and so can't do any midi mapping.

I got the message that is run by another program.

I try to do this with another midi controller ( the launchpad ) and there is no problem to activate this midi controller on ableton & resolume at the same time...

Is it just an arturia issues or am i missing something ? :?:

I try to find solutions on the web but didn't suceed to have answers

Thanks you

Windows doesn't allow use of a specific midi device in two applications at the same time. Not sure how the other controller works then though.

What you could try, would be splitting the midi signal into two virtual devices with a third party app like MidiOX for example, in combination with LoopMidi.
