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
Make sure that your port and ip settings are correct. If you are have both TD and Ableton running on the same machine, it should just work. Otherwise, you need to set IP address for sure. If you aren’t sure about your ports, add the TDA_Master device to your master track and double-check that way.
If you still can’t connect, send your Ableton log file, your .toe and your Ableton Set (if you can) to ivan@derivative.ca and I’ll take a look.
