I have not yet purchased FaderPort and want to use it with Live on the Mac platform. Can faderport-to-remote-sl-beta-1.bidule work on that platform? If not are you aware of an option and also a Mac equivalent of Maple Virtual Cable?

Yeah you have some issues going on for sure.

# 1. turn off all the maple ports in Live. Only use the control surface section.

# 2. Your faderport isnt showing up as a midi device in Live. You don’t actually want to select it in Live but you should still be able to see it. Your fader port isnt happy. Try rebooting or something. It needs to at least show up on the system.

1/2 way there.

Make sure your faderport is working with another app Like reaper protools whatever. I have seen them stop functioning until a system reboot.

Make sure live isn’t using any of the maple or faderport midi ports

“Ok with bidule make sure you go out maple port 1 & in on port 2. In live make sure the maple ports are not selected as midi controllers. Then set the Remote SL input to be Maple 1 and output to be Maple 2.”

Should work after all of that. I’ll try to make a video tutorial soon.

Something else is using them.. Turn them off in Live if they are on.. Try closing Live and opening Bidule 1st.. Get bidule happy before you open Live.

Ok try this.
1. Install Maple Virtual Cable.
2. Launch Bidule as a standalone app (You can use it as a plugin as well but for now run it as a stand alone)
3. Insert both the Faderport midi in (top), Faderport midi out (bottom), & maple midi out into bidule.
4. open and setup Live as the picture shows with the maple virtual ports.

Let me know if you still need help.

Hello Rhythminmind,
Tried setting this up as shown.. however bidule will not let me duplicate the (2)faderports as you have shown… also my faderport is coming up red and the other device is a usb device… any suggestions?
Thanks
