Mandala and Ableton Lesson

Post by workinonit »

Are there any lessons out there? I'm new to Mandala and Ableton, my drummer just got one and a few triggers so I'm having to learn my way around it all. I'm also pretty new to MIDI so any advice would help.

This would really be a matter of only needing to know how to use Ableton Live, because the Mandala is just the same as having a MIDI keyboard with 7 keys to press and a mod wheel to turn. The only difference is that you hit the Mandala with sticks and it's a lot faster and more sensitive than a MIDI keyboard. The 7 keys are analogous to the 7 zones of the drum, and the mod wheel is analogous to the 0-127 strike position output from center to edge of the drum.

Check out the posts about the Mandala MIDI output configuration I put up in the iconnect midi thread on this forum:
