Hi,
I currently have a D512 box and am running Chauvet ShowXpress, but I would like to use my interface with Ableton's DMX control feature. (Through MIDI signals)
Would this be possible or do I need a different interface?
Thanks!
Ableton Live Compatibility?

The dmx interface (D512) has nothing to do with midi.
Midi messages go straight to our software, via the operating system.

Re: Ableton Live Compatibility?
I'd be curious if you get that working. Theoretically if you ran it from a separate machine Ableton could send trigger signals via midi if you had a midi interface/input for the showexpress machine. Then you could use the triggering segment to fire light cues.
A guitarist buddy of mine runs Ableton quite a lot and we have joked about controlling the lighting from it!
