need some help
only just got to grips with the djing side of ableton, and wanted to get a few FX mapped to my controller
Beat repeat is nice but not so much into those sort of FX, anyone recommend me any good creative echos, delays, filters etc that I can use easily in a DJ set, and (better yet) are free?
thousand thankyous

Be interested in this too. There is a drum roll over on www.abletonlivedj.com but I don't really get on with it. :)

db glitch - cracking idea
I'd kill for a decent free filter. 70 euros is pricey when you earn pesos :)
Also, anyone know how to assign multiple variables to a single midi controller pot?
if I want to control wet/dry on a delay and a reverb at the same time, is there a way I can assign one singly midi slider to both?
taaaaa

super luper by a guy called tarekith you can download from his website
http://tarekith.com/misc.html - down the bottom download ableton dj effects v5
theres some other alright stuff on there too but the looper is bad-boy , its a rack made up of beat repeat, eq8 and a filter - you can get some really good loops and doubling going on.
I also use fuzzplus (free on the audio damage website) and frohmage (free on ohmforce site) for a bit of dirt when needed
theres a good thread on aldj about effects

Jay> you can assign as many variables as you want on single knob/fader. it works this way in live7, afaik.
