MIDI on Windows

 

In order to use Yeco’s MIDI controllers on Windows it is necessary to use a virtual MIDI driver.

 

We recommend loopMIDI by Tobias Erichsen: http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html

 

The other popular option is loopbe1 from nerds.de: http://www.nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html

 

Step 1 – When you have downloaded and installed your virtual MIDI driver go to Ableton’s preferences Options -> Preferences

Launching Yeco for the first time on a Mac

 

 Apple has a built-in way to protect you from opening up potentially malicious apps on your computer in Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite, and El Capitan. This setting, named Gatekeeper may stop you from launching Yeco.

 

If you get a warning when you try to launch Yeco simply Control+Click on the app in the Finder, then select “Open.”

 

You’ll see a new popup asking if you’re sure you want to run the app on your Mac. Just hit “Open” again and you’re set.
