Can I control the Arp Module with Ableton?

Post by yobo93 »

Hi!

Im relatively new to synths. I have a Novation Launchkey, which as I understand it, cant connect directly to the Arp Odyssey module. Does anyone know if I can hook the module up to Ableton and then use my midi controller via the computer to control the Arp with my midi controller?

I can't say but if this chart is the same for the module I would say there isn't to much you can do as far as control goes.

None of the panels send any MIDI, but it does respond to typical note on/off and pitch making it playable from MIDI or CV/Gate.

Yes that is how I read it as well. Edited to correct for crazy auto correct mistakes. So Having read what was here I have no idea what happened. I will say that what little midi there is should be able to be controlled form anything able to send the correct midi out to it.

Slug thanks for catching that. I have no idea where that came from. It looked good on my phone as I typed but once posted it was changed to this. I have now corrected it the best I could.
