Subject:how do you control acid music live Posted by: malcolmcrowe Date:12/10/2002 11:24:01 PM hello, im new to all of this so excuse my lack of knowledge. what i want to know is if it is possible to control acid music samples, pre-made or made-on-the-fly it doesnt matter, live with a stomp box like function so i could play guitar while controlling when it starts and when it stops. if this can be done, what all is needed and what all can you control live? i was thinking about a MIDI controller or using an electric piano keyboard and its keys(i know that that isnt a stomp box), but before i can make an educated decision about that i need to understand what excactly a MIDI controller is in the first place :) so any help in that area would be great if any of my questions are incomplete or dont make sense please let me know because i would really love to impliment acid music to live concerts but i really have no idea how to do so or how i would control it when i got it working. thanks in advance!

I would recommend downloading the demo, and trying that out first. As far as contolling Acid to stop and start when you want it...you might check out the keyboard short-cuts. If you're playing guitar at the same time, maybe you could put the computer keyboard on the floor and play barefoot... that way, you just tap the keyboard short-cut with your big toe to stop and start the playback. :) M
