Live Lighting Effects with MIDI CC and Ableton

MAINFRAME-B connects seamlessly to Ableton as a USB MIDI device, acting like any external synth—but for light instead of sound. In this setup, MIDI CC modulation is used to shape light expressively in real time:

• Hue is driven by a sine wave, shifting color fluidly.
• Position is modulated with a ramp to add structure and motion.
• Speed is performed live, then modulated for complex rhythmic effects.

This demonstrates how MAINFRAME can become a powerful part of any live performance or production setup. Whether you're using hardware, software, or both—MIDI CC brings real-time, dynamic control to your lighting visuals.
