176 Routing and I/O
generator, allowing you to treat both components as if they were separate devices. This allows
you to use Live as the hub of your MIDI studio, which receives MIDI from the keyboard and dis-
patches the incoming MIDI, as well as the MIDI from the clips, as appropriate.
14.3.4 MIDI In/Out Indicators
Live’s Control Bar contains three pairs of indicator LEDs that tell you about incoming and outgo-
ing MIDI. These indicators tell you not only about the presence of signals, but also about their
use. In every pair, the upper indicator flashes when a MIDI message is received, and the lower
indicator flashes when a MIDI message is sent.
The Control Bar’s MIDI Indicators.
The three indicator pairs represent, from left to right:
1. MIDI Clock and Timecode signals that are used for synchronizing Live with other sequenc-
ers (page 561). Note that this set of indicators is only visible when an external sync
source has been enabled in the MIDI Ports List in the Preferences;
2. MIDI messages that are used for remote-controlling Live’s user-interface elements (page
477);
3. MIDI messages coming from and going to Live’s MIDI tracks.
MIDI messages that are mapped to remote-control Live’s user-interface elements are “eaten up“
by the remote control assignment and will not be passed on to the MIDI tracks. This is a common
cause of confusion that can be easily resolved by looking at the indicators.
14.4 ReWire Slave Routing
Live can operate as a ReWire master or slave in cooperation with another ReWire application.
As a ReWire master, Live can send MIDI to, and receive audio from, any ReWire slave applica-
tion installed on the same computer.
