Does the model:samples and model:cycles stream audio via usb straight into Ableton(9.5)?

Hi there,

I am quite excited if both the model samples and cycles can stream their left/right outputs right into Ableton (9.5) - does anyone have experience with this?

Would you simply look it up in the Ableton preferences - or do they show up as VSTs?

Thanks in advance, and have a creative day.

also curious about this, do you need to use the MS as your primary soundcard when streaming audio?

Also a great question.

I picked up a model : cycles the other day. From my experience, it looks as if Ableton wants to it as the primary sound device for streaming :confused:

I’m guessing you’ll have to set up an aggregate device for this. And this is the point in the story that I hope you’re on osx :slight_smile:

Thanks and I am.

both models are class compliant 2 in 2 out audio interfaces. Should just show up as audio cards in coreaudio. Like stated above, you must create an aggregate device in OSX if you want to combine both into a single “soundcard”.

Since ableton allows using two discreet audio interfaces, one for input and another for output, you could also use it to “mix” two models together into a single analog output. So if you add ableton into the mix, you can use it and two models without needing any external mixer (you’d have to deal with latency tho)

Thanks for the info. I was thinking to just record the model cycles in running each of the separate tracks (soloing them) and use ableton to finish and sequence the tracks… without using my mixing desk.

I’ll chime in here with the question, if it’s possible to use the Model:Samples and Model:Cycles simultaneously via USB in Windows10 in Ableton 10.
As far as I can see in the settings in Ableton, you can only have a single input/recording-device.

Long time replying, but for windows users you can supposedly use asio4all for this - i am myself going to experiment with this since i have a need to stream the separate tracks from my tr-6s to my windows 10 PC and also still have my antelope soundcard running, both in the same daw (BitWig) at the same time. There are possibly latency issues but i think personally it´s worth a try for me.
