This works specifically for Ableton Live. its more for triggering sequences that is produced before the actual show. To play on the spot sounds or melodies, you should key a midi keyboard to play the sounds from ableton.

It's a midi controller, not an electric keyboard so no. You need a computer program or a synth to use with it.

You can send midi to it for sequencing, but not to control the oscillators... just the notes. None of the knobs can control VSTs on your DAW... only notes and not even the pitch wheel. That being said, this is the finest piece of gear I've purchased. Incredibly fun, kill bass sounds, versatile, and sending midi notes out of your DAW for sequencing is a blast.

Yes - absolutely. I'm recording all my midi parts in Logic using this - tracks like a dream. It just shows up as a midi device like any other and you can enable and play. Alternatively, load their triple play controller as a vst / au / whatever and get your fine-tuned setup loaded in your DAW, then call up your soft synths via that in Ableton.

This is a midi interface, you need to connect this to a "brain" that can be a computer or even an ipad or iphone with the correct usb cable. Remember, without a computer this is only a device with a set of piano like keys that won't make any sound.

We have not connected to midi yet. We are just now starting to think about it. Program works great otherwise. My son bought it so that he could compose music. It only has eight staves so he felt that it was a little limiting but for the cost it was a bargain! Here's the main manual, with tutorials: http://www.finalemusic.com/UserManuals/SongWriter2012Win/Content/Contents.htm

It's a midi controller, so you use it to control sounds you have downloaded on your computer through a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) like FL Studio, Ableton, Cubase. Depending on what you have, you can play any sound with it, but the keyboard itself doesn't have any data for instruments on it. I recommend researching VSTs for different instruments you would like to play. Enjoy! :)

This was a gift for my husband. Posed the question to my husband. Unfortunately he doesn't know. He suggests you contact the manufacturer. Or perhaps a midi cintroller will do the trick. BUT he emphasizes he isn't an expert. Have you tried an on line forum?

You need to use midi or a midi-connected keyboard through a computer. This is not a hardware synth.

Like P. Hernandez said it is a great addition of sounds and samples to use. If he already has the Arturia keyboard, he can use it as a MIDI controller in the Maschine program and use it to play the programs instruments and sounds. Also, in my opinion pads on the Maschine MK2 controller are especially great for playing drums and much better than a keyboard for doing so. You can pretty much compose the entire song through the Maschine program and then export everything to Logic software for finalizing the song.

It is NOT a midi device. It is a midi Channel. As such all it does is connect your PC to a midi device using the correct protocols. That's all it can do. See instructional stuff all over the web for understanding.

Hi, basically this model only works as a midi controller, you either connect your sound module, laptop, iPad ... What I do is connect it to a keyboard synth, with a midi air by Maudio, which is completely wireless, then straight to an amp, any further question, just let me know

I'm sorry I can't answer that question. I couldn't get the midi interface to work with my computer.

Not sure what that is but does work with protools as an interface device. It also works when emulated as a midi controller. You should be able to emulate with anything. Took me a few days to get it working on protools but working great now.

I've had mi Tascam long enough I don't readily remember, but my guess would be that it doesn't come with a MIDI cable. Besides, if you're going to run MIDI with it, you'll need TWO cables - one for MIDI in and another for MIDI out.

Highly recommend you get a MIDI interface. M-Audio makes a good one, the 2 X 2. I've had it for years and I've always been very happy with it.
