So, this looks like an absolutely awesome random note sequencer/generator. I am confused as hell as to how to route the note output to live though. I am trying to use this to see what i can come up with using Break Wife's Wife SEQ FX and Wife SEQ MIDI. Actually, im looking to use it for many things, but this is the specific thing i am trying to use it for at the moment.
I have searched quite a bit since i woke up this morning at 4am and coudnt fall back asleep. I cant find very much to get me going. Can anyone on here help?

I'm a total n00b, so take anything I say with a grain-of-salt...after seeing a demo of Abreakpoint a few years ago, I knew I had to have it...
Anyway, from what I know and have played around with so far, the nodes on the breakpoint are pre-mapped note on midi, and the morph function is premapped CC's to the macros in Absynth 4/5. I've tried this with a few other plug-ins in Ableton, and the note on mapping works for them all...though not the CC, obviously...though they should map to the macro's in Ableton instrument/effects racks (these are the fixed Y axis mutliballs on the control page of Abreakpoint), or any other CC. I haven't gotten in under the hood to see what's going on, as i'm still enthralled with all the other user templates around..
To Connect to Ableton, you need to use the Deamon, and then go thru the usual midi set up in Ableton's preferences.
I hope this helps??

Thanks. I got it to kinda work, but i might look for a different thing to do what im trying to get here, or need to spend more time getting this to work. Instead i made a template to control the Break Wife Wife SEQ FX M4L device. Im pretty happy with it, makes tweaking **** a lot more fun. I have to create a song/soundscape out of a single spoken phrase using just signal processing, its a lot of fun. Im having a bitch of a time figuring out how to make the drums, but im having a lot of fun playing with DSP. Especially now that i have a touch interface.
