Route Aievea Sequence to a synth
Connect a receiving synth track in Ableton and map Aievea Sequence’s CC lanes to its sound.
Use two MIDI tracks
- Keep Aievea Sequence on one MIDI track. Create another MIDI track and load your synth there.
- On the synth track, set MIDI From to the track containing Aievea Sequence. In the lower chooser, select Aievea Sequence’s plug-in output.
- Set the synth track’s Monitor to In. Select DAW / Host in Aievea Sequence and start Live’s transport.
- Turn Preview sound off when you want to hear only the receiving synth.
Map a CC lane
- Choose Automation, select a lane, and open Lane settings to give it a name and choose the CC number your synth expects.
- Enable CC output on. Start MIDI Learn on the receiving synth, then click Map to synth in Aievea Sequence. The selected lane sends a value even while playback is stopped.
- Finish learning on the synth and click Done mapping to restore the other lanes’ saved output states.
- Draw different values. Enable Smooth CC for interpolation, or leave it off for stepped movement.
Record the phrase
Arm the receiving MIDI track and record a clip to capture the generated notes. Use Auto monitoring with the track armed when you want to record input; switch to clip playback afterward.
Keep routing one-way to avoid a MIDI feedback loop. Preview sound is a local monitor; the receiving synth determines the production sound and what each assigned CC controls.
Host reference: Ableton: accessing a VST plug-in’s MIDI output.
