Block Live – Native Kontrol Presets
Native Kontrol has just released a preset for the block called Block Live. This is a really powerful preset for Ableton Live, and it opens up tons of creative possibilities for controlling Live. The Block Live script give you the “Red Box” feature of Live like our remote script does, but it goes WAY beyond that. This video created by Stray from Native Kontrol shows off pretty much everything you can do with it.
The video also shows the Block NE edition with a black body and green LEDs, only available at Novamusik.com
