playLive's Finally Here

When Rob King launched PSP2MIDI, his application that can turn your PSP into a wireless MIDI controller and/or a wireless mouse (available only in Windows), he was buying some time for playLive as it is still under development. playLive allows you to wirelessly control Ableton Live - a loop-based software music sequencer for Macintosh and Windows.

Now time has come to unveil what everyone has been waiting for, playLive's first version. The proud developer in his blog talks about the fruit of his labor, he wrote:

After much demand I finally got around to finishing PlayLive, my wireless PSP controller for Ableton Live. This version lets you control 8 tracks of 12 clips each, and gives you 4 xy pads to play around with. The clip triggers are also laid out in such a way that you could theoretically use them as a midi keyboard.  A painfully slow one, but a midi keyboard nonetheless.

On his next release he plans to make a sort of Mackie control emulation to give PlayLive a bit more flexibility. The Mackie brand is used on professional music and sound reinforcement and recording equipment like mixing consoles, loudspeakers and DAW control surfaces. Mackie could be a nickname for Macintosh don't you think? (C'mon work with me here) Anyway, he's also going to come up with a Mac version as soon as his "mactop comes back from the shop."

Much thanks to Wombot for letting us know about this release.

 » great!!
I haven't tried this yet but it sounds great. Ableton is an excellent program and to control it wirelessly with a psp is fantastic! Its just a shame most of the people here aren't likely to appreciate it cos you need ableton for it to work. That's why it doesn't work for you mr 4. above

In english terms, it enables you to controll aspects of a music program via your PSP.
The music program being Ableton Live.
#7 did you read the article, i believe this IS explained there.

Anyways, this is indeed a great piece of work, i have yet to try it out, but i base my praise on the sheer originality and creative thought behind this.
Good job.

nice prog, but I don't think controlling Ableton Live with the PSP is of much use...
a normal mouse and keyboard are better suited for that...
if you want a professional way to control Ableton, you'll have to get a Midi Keyboard and a linefader/rotary USB midi controller
