Imagine being able to send Temple and preset and program changes from Ableton
Live to anywhere on stage no matter how far the distance. Hey this is all
diet today I want to show you how to do just that using a play audio 12
and a mini four plus and one ethernet cable. So let's get started.
So the eventual setup that we're working towards is a play audio 12 and
a mini four plus connected with one ethernet cable. Now I connectivity
a couple months ago release an update to their Oracle software that allows
you to create a RTP mini session between devices incredibly easy.
It's so easy to do but the thing that that allows you to do is have an interface
maybe back at drums with your computer and then take it easy at cable and
read it maybe upfront to the guitar player and have that run into a midi
for plus and you can connect anything into this guy to send me back and forth.
So the possibilities really are endless imagine even having your computer
at front of house so your sound engineer she can press play and control
things and then using it even at cable to run downstage with a mini foot
controller so that you also have control. So lots of really cool possibilities.
Let me show you how to make this happen at first. Even if you're gonna
connect just with one ethernet cable there's a little bit of setup upfront
so I'm going to need a hub and three ethernet cables and what I want to
do is make sure that I've connected to Ethernet cable from the play audio
twelve into the hub from the mini four plus into the hub and then from
my computer into the hub.
So let me make that happen okay. So now we've got our play audio twelve
hour mini four plus and my computer connected to our Ethernet switch.
The other thing I've done is I've connected my play audio 12 via a USP to my
computer so now I'm going to open Oracle I can activities control software
I've included a link below where you can download that. Watch how simple
this is. It's pretty crazy. I mean to click the RTP mini manager button
then up here in the right hand corner you see the Connect button suddenly
hit the Connect button and this is super easy and straightforward to do
you see as soon as I do that.
I now have a connection between devices over Ethernet cables and you see
RTP one from the play audio. Twelve is now going to RTP one on the I connect many.
Now I'm almost there someone a close Oracle and I want to open up the I
can fix software but before I do that because of the way I'm going to make
this configuration I'm going to plug in my Mitre four plus to my computer
as well. Now I'm going to connect my iPad to the mini four plus because
ultimately I want to send MIDI from Ableton to my iPod. Now one of my favorite
things about this is the connector cable that comes with the four plus
which has got to keep your iPod charged as well as connected hardware so
the plug that guy.
All right. So with everything connected now I'm going to open up I config again.
I've included the link to I config in the description as well and I'm going
to wait for the device selection to pop up. You can see how both devices
connected here in a second I'm going to disconnect the four plus but I'm
gonna select that and hit. OK
OK. So now I want to go to the mini port routing section and what I want
to do is I want to make sure that Miltie that comes from the ethernet port
is going out of USP device Jack one into my iPod super straightforward
to do. Think of the left side here in the port section as basically the
area where we're receiving MITI and then where we want to send it to is
in the destination section. So I'm gonna scroll down to Ethernet jack one
and I want to make sure that under USP device Jack one that I have that enabled.
So again that's going to take Miltie from Ableton to the play audio twelve
over Ethernet to the four plus through USP device track one into the iPod.
So now that I've made that setting I'm going to do save current settings
and that's going to save to device. So now I can close I can fake and then
I can disconnect my midi for plus from my computer. All right. So now what
we have is our play audio 12 connected to my computer via USP. I have a
ethernet cable which I'm going to plug into the back of the play audio.
Well that's now connected directly to my midi 4 plus and then my iPad is
connected to my mini for plus using the USP to lightning cable. So when
I open my iPod an apple and he uses with his music scene next week I'm
gonna show you how I set this up and how I assign notes.
Let me just show you how Mitty gets in now. OK. So in my Ableton session
I've got a couple of just mini notes pulled up and again next week we're
talking about how to make this happen with our many notes and these are
just assigned to next page. So it's just going to change to the next page
in the app. When I go to the middle routing section here and make sure
that I'm going to play audio twelve 1 0 9 which is our first RTP network
port on the play audio 12. Now if you don't see that show up and able to
live what you want to do is go to command comma go to link many this is
lives preferences we're going to go to the output section you see all these
ports for the play audio twelve the first port and really the only port
we knew enable for the output here is again USP 1 0 9 and we're going to
enable track so that we can send MITI out of our track through the play
audio well so now super straightforward super easy I can press play when
this queue hits it's going to change pages and music stand and we'll just
jump ahead Shane and Exxon.
So it's changed perfectly and again the thing I really like about this
is this is done all using one ethernet cable and my iPod is charge so this
could work the other way I could plug a mini foot controller into the mini
for plus have it go over an ethernet cable into the play audio twelve tons
and tons of possibilities to make this happen.
So to learn more about using eye connectivity gear onstage with Ableton
Live headed from Studio Stage dot com slash playback you'll learn how to
set up your play audio twelve for redundancy as a normal interface you'll
learn how to interface it with a mini four plus and go both ways with MIDI
as well as all sorts of things including how to run tracks really efficiently
in a stable way and in a flexible way using Ableton so header from CSA
Satcom slash playback to check that out thanks so much for watching the
story and we'll see you guys next week. Take care. Bye bye
