Xiosynth works well. I have an X-station so I got the Xiosynth to share patches and go a bit more portable - toured Russia with it + a Macbook pro + a trigger finger. Programming is easier with the X-station due to the extra faders and knobs but the xiosynth is easy enough to tweak. The only small i...

My trigger finger had the same issues on a macbook. Two things made a difference: a different cable, I found a few that were more likely to cause this lack of communication. Most important change for me though was switching to a different USB port. On the macbook the one closest to the front has les...

Panic button / all notes off

An "all notes off" button or KBD command would be really appreciated here! Most DAWs have some sort of implementation of this - obviously for those stuck notes where, for some reason, the note-off gets lost. Not too big a deal in the studio but performing live is a different matter.

sample edit button

Please bring it back. The current process is slightly convoluted and (I think) unnecessarily so.

I have been considering one also but it is expensive and perhaps still immature: read this review:

I discovered that my Trigger Finger was funky (periodically it would stop communicating with my Macbook) using the USB port closest to the front of the laptop. When I switched to the rear port all issues (seem) resolved.

I own and use Kontakt 1.5 and Kontakt 2. I'm ordering sampler for 8 reasons: 1. I dislike NI generally and Sampler is close enough to Kontakt to replace it for me 2. Sampler is a UB now, Kontakt 2 will be "in October" meaning a half baked buggy version will be delayed till December and wil...

Re: Live 6 more expensive in EU than US why???

I can not understand the prices Ableton put up? 549€ for EU and 599$ US, the dollar is much lower than the euro. In Sweden where I live it is almost 73€ euro in difference=104$ if I could buy the US version. How come? You have a nicer country man. If you want to get the cheap price you need to also...

I use either a Mobile IO 2882+DSP or my ULN2+DSP for live gigs. My last week long gig I used the 2882 on a Macbook with my Powerbook as VI host for the non UB VIs I use (NI.) My PB (VI) output was S/PDIF on my X-station into the 2882 attached to the Macbook (the 2882 allows SRC on the Digital inputs...

Get the Macbook...

I've bought the bigests best beast in the portable line since the Titanium but this time got the middle Macbook. Look at the specs and the benchmarks - it's as fast as the pro but has a a few fewer features. I use my new Macbook 2GHZ for live 5 with my old PB 1.67GHZ for VIs that are not intel ready...
