Re: [xl7] Ableton (Re: DAW w/ CS)

Come on people, if you want to use Ableton Live for serious MIDI sequencing,
than it's a no-go. Just for starter: no SYSEX support - it just filters it out.
And while you could have it with Max for Live, I bet only the real hardcore
will want to take it that way.

I use Nuendo with my XL-7 without any errors or problems. MIDI interface is an
Emagic AMT-8. I have all my gears connected to the AMT filling all 8 ports,
and can decide if the computer or the XL-7 is the sequencer/clock source.
Couldn't be easier...
Nearly all sequencers today have SMF 0 and SMF 1 support.
Not to speak about how much easier is to edit in Nuendo then record
the loop in the XL-7.

I used Logic before Nuendo, while it was available on the PC. And still,
the Hyperedit is the best for drum sequencing - wish it was available in
other DAWs, too.
