Instructions for Loupedeck CT & Live
Ableton Live is a professional software sequencer and a wonderful tool for creating, recording, arranging and mixing both audio and MIDI tracks. With the help of a Loupedeck CT or Live, you can streamline and organize your Ableton Live workflow to perfection. Let's get started!
MIDI Setup and startup
Loupedeck CT/Live is not a “plug and play” device.
You must do the following before it can work with Ableton Live.
Before CT/Live can work with Ableton Live, you must 1) first run the installer and 2) activate "LOGI PLUGIN" (or "Loupedeck in 5.9 and previous versions) as a control surface in the MIDI setup section of Live’s preferences.

Picture 2: Version 6.0 and up
When you use CT/Live, first start the Loupedeck app, open its Setup window, and then start Ableton Live. You will see Control Surface (Loupedeck) > Connected text on the bottom bar of Ableton Live. Once this text has disappeared, you can start using CT/Live.
Loupedeck CT/Live can only support one Ableton version at a time. From 5.0.2 forward the supported version is Ableton Live 11. To keep using Ableton live 10 with Loupedeck, please see the separate support article.
