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.

Things you should know after the jump:

• Max For Live is required for Mu to operate
• The whole control piece is written in Max/M4L and is modifiable
  • If there is something you don't like or want to add. Do it!
• When you drag the clip launcher onto the master track of Live, it finds your Lemur and sends a pre-made template over to the Lemur
  • No need to store ANYTHING in Lemur's memory
• You can use the pre-built interfaces for devices or modify them, or create your own. 
  • The Device modules are jzlibs ands are loaded dynamically when needed into the main Lemur template

More to come... Stay Tuned.
