Can lemur do this?

Post by caristhegypsy »

I've been looking at the lemur software for a while now, but I have yet to step up and actually make the purchase as I haven't really needed it. I now find myself desiring the ability to control the piano roll in ableton live via a touch screen, can lemur do this? Are there templates already setup with this feature? I know that Griid can do this, but I haven't found anything in any of the promotional material that says lemur can, and I want to make sure that it can before I purchase as I want to settle on one app to control ableton from my iPad and make sure that it can do everything I want.

Thanks

I think LiveControl2, due to be released (for Lemur) in the early part of next year has some form of piano-roll control. What degree or form that takes is anyones guess. Something that operated like Cliip as far as painting and moving notes goes would be fantastic - but Lemur doesn't really have that sort of high-level object built in at present.

So possibly a Lemur-based sequencer with OSC to Remote Script automapping to lots and lots of Live's functions (if not all, or as many as make sense).

Initially sceptical, I think it could be really good.

I think if you are after a dedicated controller for Ableton Live Griid/Cliip suit you better - Lemur's strengths go beyond specific DAW functions. It can cover a lot of them via scripting but I think it can never be as detailed and as good as a dedicated overall solution.

OF COURSE, as already mentioned, your best bet right now is to wait and see what LiveControl2 will "put on the table". ;)

Yes, basically I am looking for cliip within Lemur. I think that Lemur has a lot of functionality that Griid does not, right? I'd like to gain that functionality and customizability, but with the ability to control the piano roll in a very complete way like Cliip. It sounds like I'm just going to have to wait for that to become a reality, and I'm sure I'm not the only one desiring it. It would be nice to know that Lemur does everything, and all I need to do is drop $50 and I'll have the best app that's out there, but it sounds like what I may need to do is get Griid/Cliip, and then upgrade to Lemur down the road if LiveControl2 has everything that Cliip does. Thanks for the info.
