Midi Controller to Switch Patches on 2 Channels

Postby hl1982 » 22 Aug 2019, 23:13

Hello,

I play in a covers band, with a Nord Piano 2 and a Novation Mininova Synth. I currently have Ableton Live setup to switch patches for me over USB. Basically, I plug USB cables from my mac into my Nord and into my Mininova, and when I change scenes to move to the next song in the setlist, the patches are automatically selected.

This works great, but I don't really want to keep taking my mac into pubs and bars as I'm pretty sure it's going to get stolen one day. So ideally I'd like a much cheaper, more portable option that does the same job but isn't quite as stealable. Any suggestions?

Cheers, H

Hello,

well, if you use Ableton only for that, just get a cheap Win10 Netbook and run Ableton on it, leaving the Mac home.
