  • In this tutorial, I show how to establish the connection between TouchDesigner and Ableton using TDAbleton.
    In the following videos I show how to actually make visuals using this technique.

    Brilliant tutorial, thanks for sharing. However, at 3:12 , I think you were supposed to drag and drop the "TouchDesigner" folder (which is inside the "TDAbleton" folder) into the "MIDI Remote Scripts", instead of dragging and dropping the "TDAbleton" folder like you suggest in your video?

    For those who are having trouble with TouchDesigner not showing up under control surfaces, update your TD install to 2021. Then you'll find a new tdAbleton beta component in the palette that will successfully establish the connection.

    For Mac OS user, I've been struggling as TD option did not show up on the midi control surface - just want to let you know you need to get "TD resources > TDAbleton > Live 11 > Touchdesigner" folder to be pasted in Ableton "midi remote scripts" folder x

    Trying this with my new Mac Studio M1, with the 2022 build of TD. On my previous MBP I could get it to work with the TDAbletonBeta, but the Beta doesn't seem to be included in the 2022 build. Anyone had similar issues?

    • @erwintuijl6342
      @erwintuijl6342 Год назад +9

      Solved!
      The MIDI Remote Scripts folder is in another place than the Ableton documentation says it is. The ableton documentation suggests you should create the folder manually in HD/Users//Music/Ableton/User Library.
      That's wrong!
      In the Applications folder, left-click on Ableton Live 11 and select "Show Package Contents", then it's in Contents/App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts. If you drop the Touchdesigner folder there you're good to go

    Hi Bileam, gibt es irgendwo FERTIGE Touchdesigner Project Files zu kaufen (oder auch natürlich frei) um Ableton Sound zu visualisieren? Ich mache seit vielen Jahren Musik live mit Ableton und Hardware Synths und suche eine Möglichkeit das zu visualisieren (mit Beamer am Laptop). Zum Anfang hätte ich einfach erst gerne mal ein paar lauffertige Projekte und ggf. kann ich mich dann in die Programmierung reinwursteln. Es ist super gaga da irgendwas zu finden ... Danke für Tips zu solchen Resourcen.

      Ableton intro doesn't give you access to Max for Live. You need at least Standard, but you'll have to buy Max as an add on.
