Here is part two in the series entitled, "Mu-tations" that discusses the various elements of Jazzmutant's Mu. This part takes you through programming new devices. It is recommended that you take a look at the various tutorials on the Max For Live API as well as familiarize yourself with the Lemur and OSC before tackling Mu. Feel free to discuss Mu in the max4live.info forums and on the Jazzmutant forums.
Mu, The new Ableton Live Controller for the Lemur is now available in beta form. If you have a Lemur and Max For Live then run, don't walk over to Jazzmutant's site! It is available for existing Lemur users.
Stay tuned in the next few days for video tutorials on how to use Mu and modify it to your needs.
Jazzmutant's new Ableton Live Controller for the Lemur is expected in beta form real soon. Jazzmutant was nice enough to give Max4live.info a beta copy of the new OS/M4L integration and we decided to put together a video walk-through for everyone to see.
This first part shows you how easy it is to setup and all of the different aspects of the interface. In the next part of the series, we will introduce you to the concepts behind building and modifying Mu in M4L.
All I can tell you is that we had our hands on this for only a short while and our initial impression is, "WOW, What a slick implementation".
Please Note: this video is a walkthrough done with permission on the Mu beta and that some things may change before the final version.
Jazzmutant has released official footage on the new Ableton Live integration called, "Mu". Check out the new video with King Roc, rocking it out!
As reported before, the new Lemur OS will have some tightly integrated features like:
Integrated clip launcher
automatic and dynamic loading of templates on the Lemur (No need to store it on the Lemur)
Drag and drop the Control element into a track and the Lemur gets updated with all Clips, Devices, etc...
Save The Control in a live set and when you open a Live set with the Lemur Control, Bam, The Lemur is updated
Control all devices within Live
Modify the device controls to your liking.
Control Transport
It's great to see some Lemur Functionality that works out of the box. There is NO programming necessary in order to use Mu. Again, if you want more advanced functionality then you can take advantage of the M4L/Lemur integration and tailor it to fit your needs.
More Feature news and info to come. Stay tuned on this site and Jazzmutant's site for more info and news on how you can get this latest OS update for your Lemur. Or, Go to, "The Shop" on this site and buy your Lemur now!
Gareth Williams from Jazzmutant demos the new Lemur/M4L integration at the Music Alive event. This is the first real look at the new functionality provided by the new integration. You can see that there is not only a clip launcher, but also a mixer and device view. This is probably one of the nicest commercial Live controllers I have seen. Just drop the Lemur control object onto the master track and everything is auto-populated!
Some new revelations:
Plug and play with your Lemur (Will find the Lemur automatically)
Device view to edit Live devices
mixer view for, well uh... mixing
template is completely editable
resizable onscreen clip grid
