Sequencing Ableton Live from Drambo
Hi folks,
Is it possible to sequence Ableton Live using Drambo? If yes, how would I go about doing that?
I really love being able to use p-locks and Dramo's sequencer but I would like to be able to use Ableton Live and desktop plugins for sound generation

Tap on each track's header, scroll down to "MIDI OUTPUT (EXTERNAL) and choose the MIDI port that Live is connected to.
I like to use Bluetooth MIDI so I can still walk around while the desktop produces sound.
That's great! Got it working now, thanks. Actually it also works over the wifi network which is cool because I can walk around the room and compose
My next task is to map some knobs in Drambo to Macro knobs in Ableton racks
How about sequencing Ableton from a Drambo AUv3 instance hosted inside Ableton? I can’t get Drambo to output any MIDI.
Answering my own question: Audio Units can’t output MIDI in Ableton.
I had asked Ableton about this when auv3 were in beta. It's not in scope for them. Ableton team doesn't understand midi from.vsts either (since all multichannel midi is merged into a single channel), so I'm not holding out hope.
I hope Bitwig adds auv3 support because midi routing will actually work.
Bitwig don't support platform-specific formats like auv3 or even au.
Yeah, true, wishful thinking.
