Once this is complete, record arm all three channels in Live and start recording to record audio and MIDI from Peak with the record arm button at the bottom of the channel strip:Īfter recording, automation can be viewed by double-clicking on the automation clip to reveal the MIDI information. Arp > MIDI can be turned off on page 4 of the settings menu on Peak. If Peak is sending and receiving note data to and from the same channel, this will also result in a MIDI loop. If you plan on using the Arp in Peak, be sure to turn Arp>MIDI on or off when necessary so that notes received from Peak will be the arpeggiated notes.

You'll need to configure Peak so it will send and receive information from Live. To do this, press Settings, navigate to page 5 and set CC/NRPN to 'Rec+Tran'. If you're using other equipment, take some time to consider routing to avoid MIDI loops. This example includes a MIDI track to send MIDI note data to Peak, another MIDI track for automation to and from Peak and an audio track to hear the output of Peak. To do this, connect Peak via USB, open Ableton and navigate to Preferences > Link MIDI and apply the following settings:

This allows the user to record performance data from Peak and edit this data after, should you want to record the MIDI clip as audio again. In this example, we're going to cover how to record automation from Peak in Ableton Live through USB MIDI.
