Controlling Ableton with Code – my live-coding setup and light tutorial
I have spent the last three years learning to make music with code. This is a walkthrough of my setup, and how I control Ableton using a live-coding tool called TidalCycles.
I do not think this is by any means the best way to make music, it is just a way that I enjoy making music. A lot of my practice is improvisational, and this is a method that allows me to make electronic music on-the-fly with code.
I am using Ableton Pro as my DAW, and using TidalCycles to sequence MIDI note patterns. I use OBS to capture my screens and Premiere Pro to edit. This is an example SuperCollider server file that helps me route my MIDI from SuperCollider to Ableton – note: this is using MacOS. Link: https://gist.github.com/dqgorelick/13...
