- Looking to control your lights with Ableton Live? Check out LightKey!
If you're looking to control your lights with Ableton Live and you're looking for something between programming directly in Ableton and using a completely separate software,
You need LightKey.
With its innovative Live Triggers feature, you can control LightKey directly from Ableton as if it's a plug-in loaded in Ableton,
But with all the power of a software dedicated to running lights.
In this preview lesson from my new Controlling LightKey with Ableton Live course, you'll learn how to setup and use Live Triggers with Ableton Live.

![Controlling Lights with Ableton: What’s the Best Approach? [Resource Guide]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oZ_9UF7r9Ic/mqdefault.jpg)
Hello! Question for you: Lightkey is not showing up for me as a MIDI port on Ableton. What am I doing wrong? I followed along with the video and it's just not there! Thank you.
Thanks a million for your excellent video's! I'm an Ableton guy and still using DMXIS. The thing that holds me back using Lightkey is the fact that I don't see a way to repatch DMX channels after I program a show. I'm a technician for shows that travel to different theaters. I use a combination of my own fixtures and I use the house lights. So when I get to the venue, I have to repatch some of my DMX adresses. Do you know if that's possible?
Thanks!
You’d have to reach out to DMX-is support
@@fromstudiotostage , DMXIS does have the patch function, but I want to switch to Lightkey :)
Found it 😊
sorry.. meant contacting lightkey.. I'm not an LD and haven't gone that deep with it.. so I can't help much there. @@OELMEIJER
Thank Will. Had a similar question to this. For A touring band not traveling with our own lights, We give specifications of the lighting setup we want on the venue. The question is, How do I connect the computer to the lights to have the same results from venue to venue? What do I need to purchase that will connect to the venue-provided Lighting?
I don't have much money, what is the minimum laptop specs to run Lightkey and Ableton on same computer?
I run it on my base model M1 MacBook Air with zero issues.
@@gabriel_levithat’s an m1 tho 🥲
Great channel and content! Want to say you have a typo on your thumbnail. Feel free to delete this comment! :)
Haha. I’ll fix it and delete the comment and no-one will ever know, expect for the Instagram post I made today…oh well, maybe I leave it :)
@@fromstudiotostage hehehehe. “Erased from the Internet”
In all seriousness-thanks for letting me know :)
