Yesterday I received my Elements Skiff 80 Bundle and I'm having some issues with the Alchemist Midi configurator.
The bundle went together nicely, by watching the YouTube Tutorial Livid posted, as well as reading the Wiki For the Alchemist and Elements that all went OK.
I've hit a roadblock with the Midi Editor though and would really appreciate some help.
My Elements bundle consists of (from left to right):
1 x 4K4F4B
1 x 16B
1 x 16B
1 x 16B
I'm not looking for over the top configuration. Very basic I would say with the majority of my Elements being simple buttons to launch either Video clips in GrandVJ or Audio Clips on Propellerhead Reason.
These are the Midi Notes I want to assign:
16B number 1 - Note 36-51
16B number 2 - Note 52-67
16B number 3 - Note 68-83
4K4F4B - Anything else
The Problem I am having is that any Midi configurations I apply, lets say I program the first 16B with the Notes 36 through to 51 as mentioned above, that configuration then replicates onto the other 2 16B's - It's as if the Brain sees all three 16B's as one.
I am sure you will be able to tell me how to overcome this?
The Alchemist Software seems rather unstable on Mac OS X. it keeps prompting me to download the latest version but I am on version 0.97, which is listed as the latest. DO you know if things knowingly run smoother on a Windows installation of Alchemist? if so I can borrow a PC for the configuration.
Please help. The Elements Skiff looks beautiful but completely unusable at present.
