I need to better understand what you’re trying to do.
How many Ableton instances are running and how many Touch instances are running? And how are they interconnected?
It is easy to connect two Touch instances to one Ableton instance. Having a Touch instance connect to two Ableton instances is significantly more complicated, but probably doable. I haven’t tried.
Very much appreciated. It seems like it should be possible but beyond my scope. But if we end up just having to use two TD instances so be it.
As it is we each have one macbook pro running ableton on it with the remotescript. Then we have one windows microatx with TD to run our video and leds with.
Turns out there are some complications making one TD instance look at multiple Ableton instances. I will get to it eventually, but I have a list of other things I need to work on first. For now, you can run two TD instances and share data between them in any of the various ways Touch does that.
Experimental version 1.1.0 fixes network problems when running TouchDesigner and Live on different computers. Thanks to Peter Sistrom for catching that one early!
Wow! Sending midi directly to Ableton!
I have been dreaming of this! Especially for bypassing MaxMSP (Glad I didn’t get a chance to to dig to deep into the Osc to Midi conversion yet, means more time to do actual work;)
Ableton log file should be found automatically on connection
Log file viewer has refresh button
TDAbletonDemo contains example for connecting to 2 Ableton instances with one TD
