Mu, The new Ableton Live Controller for the Lemur is now available in beta form. If you have a Lemur and Max For Live then run, don't walk over to Jazzmutant's site! It is available for existing Lemur users.
Stay tuned in the next few days for video tutorials on how to use Mu and modify it to your needs.
Jazzmutant's new Ableton Live Controller for the Lemur is expected in beta form real soon. Jazzmutant was nice enough to give Max4live.info a beta copy of the new OS/M4L integration and we decided to put together a video walk-through for everyone to see.
This first part shows you how easy it is to setup and all of the different aspects of the interface. In the next part of the series, we will introduce you to the concepts behind building and modifying Mu in M4L.
All I can tell you is that we had our hands on this for only a short while and our initial impression is, "WOW, What a slick implementation".
Please Note: this video is a walkthrough done with permission on the Mu beta and that some things may change before the final version.
As you probably already know, Max For Live is now available for public beta. There are tons of people running to the Ableton and Cycling74 sites to download this add-on to Live only to come to the forum a few hours later and ask, "How do I get started". This may seem like an easy answer for the people that are already familiar with Max and Live. The various users on the forum usually reply with, "Check out the tutorials that are on the Ableton and Cycling74 websites". This is a great answer, as there is a plethora of information out there that can tell you how to do anything you can imagine. However, Here in lies the problem. There is too much information for the average user. Users may feel intimidated by the sheer mass of information out there. Still, others might not even know the information exists. This article is here to direct newcomers to simple information that can get them started and then show them where the advanced information is if needed.
Ableton released Live Intro that seems to be a replacement for Live LE. Live Intro can get you into Live at a very low price point so that you can learn how to use it and decide if you like it. You then have the option to upgrade. Don't let Intro fool you though. This is a full featured software package in which it's only limitation is quantity of features, not quality.
