regular ableton 8, default preset 11 on the trigger finger, PC and MAC both
This template looks sick! I have a template that use for an apc40 and a launchpad. I am going to download it and try and incorporate it into my own template. I am excited to come up with something new and improved!
please let me know how it goes. i want to adapt mine for the APC as well. maybe we can work out a deal? (i don’t own an APC)
I am working on it now. The template is sweet! I think i can take the apc to a whole new place now adding more elements while at the same time keeping it very simple.
just got the template myself.. love it so far, but I am new to this and cant map it over to the apc40 very well.. I figured out the outputs so I can atleast cross fade with the apc but I dont know how to get any of these punch ins to work…
once you get it all set up any chance of sending it over? this thing is a blast already cant wait to use it to its full potential.. keep up the great work dylan the site is killer.. love the wallpaper too ha
it’s coming as soon as we can manage. porting it has proved to be a bit sticky. i want to do it in a way that is easy for the end user and doesn’t involve hacking anything… easier said than done, lol
yah no worries man, I’ll be patient. I was talking to vespers about it and I
now fully understand how complicated it actually is lol. keep up the great
work! just downloaded the schmunday school ep cant wait to listen to it…
porting is done!
fuuuuuckkin right!! glad to hear it dylan. i was just looking at other templates at http://www.abletonlivedj.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23872
lol, cant wait to unleash the deejayus ex machina hahahah
yea man, that’s my boy will marshall! he helped do the VU meters on this template actually
a real homey
ill i have a template from one of ur worksops. Does this one count as an upgrade. Good job with the sight my man!
yea, sure. why not! lol. do you have a paypal reciept or anything you can send me?

thanks for your patience!

Hey ill, I was thinking I might be able to figure out how to port it over to the
hey ill,
I was thinking, if you want to take a screen shot of all the Midi mappings for your trigger finger I might be able to port it over to the APC40, I think Ive got it all working besides the punchins. or you could even walk me through it over the phone… lemme know… chris.porter85 aaaht geemale dot kawm
Here we go, i just got my 8.2 set up. As soon as the MPD template arrivesits off to the races. Thanks again Ill for putting the squeeze on my MPD issue and for your overall bad-ass-ness
they’re ready homey
dig in!
yes please! APC
have you seen the Will Marshall template? He did a bunch of reprograming of the APC40 to add some really nice functionality. custom colors n all.
yea man, he joined the team to help program the VU meters. real lovely guy!
Hey great news – I use an Ohm64 and plan on purchasing the template when you have the aftertouch issue sorted. Can’t wait!
it’s all sorted now. you can port the APC one pretty easily i imagine.
if you make us an OHM update i’ll send you something free and AWESOME!
Any word on the Ohm64 port???
I just got the template and I’m totally lost. I guess I didn’t pay enough attention to the part where I need a mixer. I can only get the left side to play anything.(I’m a total newb haha) I’m literally just starting out and I’m on the search for a trigger finger. I have an apc, but Id rather go the trigger finger route as it looks like most dj’s I can think of use one. I understand pretty much everything about how the cue points work and saving .als projects so they are automatically cued up in fours, but is there a way I can use this template without a mixer? I have an mbox mini I’m running as interface. I also do a lot of stuff live like I sing on top of my dubstep tracks and play software synths running massive to make bass whomps live. So also is there a way I can have other tracks on top of right and left? Please help.
yes, there is. i recommend having midi tracks with instruments to the right of each audio track channel. then you can drag in multi-track clip packs.
i would really really very strongly recommend mixing on an external mixer. it’s better for a huge number of reasons.
that said, it has been a popular request so i may add that functionality in an update.
Hey I would love to hear your reasons why external mixing is better. I did a google search and watched your vids and couldn’t find them myself. Here is what I found so far (and made up in some cases):
- Less to carry around because venues have DJ mixers (from your vid – though this may be less of an issue once the template works for larger controllers (e.g. APC40, Ohm64) with more controls that could handle the FX and the mixing in one controller)
- Better sounding analog EQs
- Less processing power required
- Less latency
I can think of a few drawbacks:
- Unable to build muscle memory due to the need to use other people’s mixers at venues
- May still need to lug a mixer, which can be heavier than a midi controller, if the venue does not have one
- Can’t record automation in Ableton for later editing/perfecting
Anything else I’m missing?
Thanks for all of your great work and support!
yup. that about sums it up.
the muscle memory thing can still definitely be learned on a hardware mixer. they’re pretty much all the same. plus: when you get to higher levels you get to request mixers.
there is an internal mixing update btw. did you join the list when you bought your template? you can also email me and i’ll help you out. if you don’t have a mixer handy it’ll definitely sort you out.
don’t stress homey! we’ll get you sorted.
<3

If I’m interested in the APC version, should I buy the template now, or wait for the update…I mean will it be easy to get the update?
all users will be automatically updated when the apc 40 and mpd templates are ready. two weeks max
Is a version of this available that will work in ableton 7?
Thank you! (:
yes. if you buy the template and then send me an email at thephatconductor at gmail i’ll send you live 7 versions. i have many many templates, lol.
OK. I just got it and have played around with it for about half an hour. Very, very slick. Despite the fact that the plumbing for it is fairly complex, it’s *really* easy to use. Definitely a big step up from even the NYE2K9 template. Totally worth it. Great work.
woohoo!
& lol @ ‘plumbing”
So I just finished programming the internal-mixing version you requested
It’s going to be part of the update with the APC and MPD versions… coming soon! <3 i.G
Whats up Mr. Ill Gates Phat Conductor! Would love that APC40 DJ Temp[late version. I got a gig on the 13th of May, would love to use it then. Mightt be a bit too late for that but would like it either way. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!!
sorry for the wait!
the APC template is ready. email me a reciept and you can get it before launch date.
Hey I just downloaded the template and I’m a little bit confused. I’m something of a newb, and have a korg padkontrol. as well as a nanokontrol, instead of a trigger finger. I’m wondering how to go about redoing the midi mappings so that I can reassign the knobs and faders to the nanokontrol, and the pads to the padkontrol. Thanks a bunch!
the new template updates are a LOT easier to port over to other controllers. please mail me and i’ll sort you out asap.
Haha, in retrospect redoing the midi mappings is going to just require a bunch of tinkering (I’m trying to find someone to just trade for a trigger finger, save myself some effort)
But, if you ever get a chance, could you post another video of you or someone using the template? Like I said, I’m a n00b when it comes to a lot of this stuff and I think observing, fly on the wall style, would help me out a lot. I’ve tried to find other pages/videos involving your template and i couldn’t find any. I’m sure you’re a busy man, but a point in the right direction at any time in the future would be super appreciated!
that sounds like a great idea. I’ll make sure to get a video of my playing with the template up soon
Great input!
Im foaming at the lips over here for MPD 24 template
on it… soon… promise
<3
Lol, forget my previous posts. Just got the trigger finger in the mail and I’m in business!
DEEJAYUS EX MACHINA WOO!
hey Ill i have just bought ya dj template but it wont run it saying its been made with a newer version of live… i’m absolutely gutted dude.. im using 8.0.6 with apc40 really hope ya can help dude…please.asap my im itching to rock this..thank you adi
You need to have Ableton 8.2 or later I’m afraid. It’s a very stable version of Ableton though. Definitely worth the trouble.
Snagged your Guide and your Studio template after watching all of your videos and listening to your songs. You are killin it, thanks for everything – you’ll never know how much you do to demystify this stuff for lovers of music. Thanks
Can’t wait till the APC40 DJ template comes out, I’ll definitely be picking it up!
thanks man! the APC one is ready and free if you bought through the site. email me a reciept and it’s yours. official launch date should be real soon.
Hey ill, I have been waiting eagerly for the APC template. Quick question: does the APC template require an external mixer like the previous? Thanks for your response in advance! Can’t wait.
it CAN be used with an external mixer, but i actually spent a lot of time programming a ‘smart mixer’ into the template that makes the mixes sound smoother than a ‘normal’ mixer ever could
Is there an APC 40 template yet?
YUP! free for users who bought it through the site, but it actually came out much different from the deejayus ex machina template so it’s a separate product.
getting the videos ready to launch now, but if you have an APC and want to have a go on the pre-release version then hit me with your reciept via email.
Thanks man for all your love to the tronic community
you’re welcome!
Ill just wait for the torrent!
nice
I’m working on porting the template to Novation SLII and Launchpad, I should have something in the next week or two. I’m using Novation’s Automap now, but I’d like to have everything work straight out of the box (plus automap just bugs me for some reason). Great work on the template BTW! I used it for the first time at a show this past friday and it’s a much smoother more natural way to interact with ableton compared with any of the templates i’ve made for myself.
how did that go for you? any luck?
if not: the new MPD template is MUCH easier to port. you should have the free update tomorrow.
hey man, did you ever make that template for the launchpad?
yo ill hope ya good dude how long till the apc template…ive bought the template but cant use it till the apc comes!! lookin forward to it bruv….peace..adi
From ill.Gates — “The apc40 porting is proving to be quite
difficult for my homey because it’s likely going to involve the IAC midi
bus, which means it would be mac only, and a bit of a pain for the end
users. we are trying to figure out a way around that now. The lasted update includes the PC version, and the internal
mixing version only. there will be another big update when we figure out
the issue with the momentary FX. really hoping it doesn’t have to
involve external midi loops, but it might have to.”
aaaaand now it’s done!
hey i bought the template. looks great. im using akai mpk/mpd. do u have a template for it?? i know you do for the triggerfinger. holla
almost there!
I just downloaded this template a few minutes ago. I’m kind of overwhelmed at what I’m seeing on screen. Lol. I don’t have any mapping experience but I’d like to map it to an MPD 24. How would a newbie go about doing that? Point me in the right direction and I’d be glad to do the work.
Hey Marco. Gate’s on tour in Israel, so jumping in to help. Can you send an email to daysha (at) illgates.com. We have a template thats mapped to the MPD 32, so very similar. I’ll get you connected to the studio guys for some help.
Hi Marco,
We have released an update that includes both the MPD32 and MPD24 mappings. This should make things easier for you. Check you inbox for the redemption code.
Hi Daysha!
Thank you for the great news! I have checked my mailbox but have not received any redemption code (even checked spam mail). Can you please send it again to alessandro.savage@gmail.com? Thank you!
is it going to work on a mpd 32 ?
yup! all done the porting
it’s not in the store yet, but if you email me a reciept it’s yours!
MPD26?
Pre-mapped templates for the 24 and 32 are in development. All the
controls are mapped to Bank A, so should translate fine, but will double
check to make sure.
ok! the new templates are programmed. i’m still making the videos for them and everything, but if you are an existing user, have an MPD and want a preview, send your receipt to thephatconductor at gmail and i’ll send you the templates before launch
love ya!
illiam
hey so the apc40 temp can be bought where?
We are putting the final touches on the APC40 template as we speak.
DONE! YAAAA!!!
he ill gates, that template looks amazing. i bought it, but i can’t map the midi for the punching fx on my MPD24. have u any description or a update for that template? please help…
the free update will be emailed to all existing users tomorrow.
i changed the punch in system a bit to make it easier for people who want to port it.
if you do end up porting it to the mpd24 and then send us your porting i’ll send you something special
<3

Hi Smighty,
We have released an update that includes both the MPD32 and MPD24 mappings. Check you inbox for the redemption code.
Hi, I recently purchased the DJ template and was wondering when you are going to release the MPD32 version.
Cheers.
it’s ready!
:D:D
Hey iLL, is this MPD24 compatible?
If it is im sold!
Keep up the good work
Maps with any controller and a version pre-mapped to the MPD should be
released in the next 1-2 weeks.
mpd24 update is UP
Great, and i actually need it for the MPD26
thanks so much for bearing with us during the lengthy and difficult process of porting, creating new templates, testing, and then making the videos. it’s all done now, so enjoy! -i.G
Hey so if I only want the APC-40 one do I want to download the suite first/why? Thanks Ill, looks ill.
Hi Dave. You can buy APC-40 template individually. The suite would be for those that want a template for all controllers. The Deejay Ex Machina template includes premaps for both Trigger Finger and the MPD32. And the template has been completely reworked specifically for the APC-40 and iPAD to take advantage of features that a unique to these controllers. If you are not planning to experiment with the iPAD or MPD32 in the future, the APC40 is probably the right fit for you.
Anyday you come up w/ an update for the Launchpad… I’ll be stoked! Mahalo!
it would need to be in combo with other controllers, so i don’t think i will.
wouldn’t be too hard to map over tho… just start from the MPD32 or MPD24 templates. they’re the best place to start from as fa as porting goes.
Anyone that uses this template alot that might want to answer a few questions for me about it? I bought it but would like to speak to someone who “lives” it.
Hi Kevin, What questions do you have and we will get you sorted? Gates has to step away from the site when he has a performance, but the team is here fielding questions until he gets back to the studio.
sure! i use it every day
Ok so before I got the MPD 24 mapping I was planning to sell my MPD24 but now that I have this and it works beautifully, there’s no way I’m selling my MPD!
Good job on the mapping, Ill Gates and excellent job on the customer support from Daysha and Charlie!
woohoo!
Whats the difference between this and deejayus ex machina? i dunno which to get…
Hi Dave. The Deejayus Ex Machina template is one that has been available for some time and was originally designed to map to the Trigger Finger controller with the ability to be mapped to any controller on the market. Recently, it has been substantially updated to also include pre-mappings to the MPD32 and MPD24 controllers. There are also separate templates that have been completely reworked for APC40 and iPAD users.
The DJ Template Suites includes ALL of the above mentioned templates in one package at a discounted price.
So it includes the Deejayus Ex Machina too?
Yes. Deejay Ex Machina for Trigger Finger, MPD32, and MPD24 + IPAD Template + APC40 Template all in one package.
What about mappings for the AKAI MPD 26 though?
The 26 is not included. We’ve had a lot of request for that controller, so possibly in the works. So many controllers out there! But if you are inclined, the template for the 24 can be ported over easily on your own.
actually im having problems i have most of the mappings figured out but i cant find out with that CC13 and CC14 chain selectors are mapped to on the 32 and what controls the big reverse.. these things are not clear to me and im getting very frustrated trying to figure this out
cc13 and cc14 control the chain selectors for the multi FX units on their respective sides.
the big reverse is accomplished using the cross fader
hope that helps!

Hi, does the akai mpd 24 work with internal mixing with the filters?
Yes, there is an internal mixing set up for each of the premappings, including the 24.
I have ableton 7 & unfortunately can’t afford 8 right now, would this still run with 7?
This looks like an awesome purchase I would love to get my hands on, but I don’t want to buy it if I don’t know if it’ll run with my setup…
Thanks!
Hi Polli. The templates utilize functionality only available in V8+, so would hold off on purchasing until you are in a position to upgrade your Ableton system.
The dummy clips did not load or are not in my .zip file. This is causing my MPD24 to map the chain FX selector to the 3rd fader and making the tweak my second fader. When i try to remap them accordingly on the rotary knobs the mapping becomes funky triggering many different things. Any advice or solutions to this problem…could this be because of the missing dummy clips?
nope. the dummy clip wav file is completely irrelevant. they will behave normally in the template even with the missing sample. it should be in the zip tho, maybe give it another download if you’re annoyed by the missing sample alert, but otherwise it’s all good. nothing to do with the functionality of the template.
i SUSPECT that you’re on the wrong preset for the MPD24. i believe i used the ‘ableton live’ preset, so switch it over to there and see what happens.
cheers mate!

Hey the template looks great, does it work with ableton live intro? thanks
haven’t tried it i’m afraid. it might?
…anyone?
my cousin are I are wondering if it is possible to have both the APC template up while also using the trigger finger template as we both dj off the same laptop? is it possible to seperate mappings such as get effects on the trigger finger with vu meters, etc on the apc?
They’re not designed for that I’m afraid.
best to just make other performance parts for the second controller to play over top of the DJ set
Considering the purchase and was wondering how to go about porting over a template to my mpd26? That is if there is no template update for the 26…
Thanks.
there’s a MPD 24 template, but i don’t own the 26. I could take you through it on the phone?
Having issues playing back what I record within the template.
Any thoughts?
I’m on a mack laptop with a focusrite card and the internal mixer template.
I also added another controller (ozonic). It works fine while playing.
Just the recorded play back is screwerd. Keeps crashing and taking a long time to reload??
that would be a problem with Ableton i’m afraid. – support@ableton.com
Hey there, I just bought the APC 40 Template and I must say, it’s pretty sick. Im having trouble however with the activator, the solo/cue, and record arm button. When I press them only the piano template shows up instead of doing the functions they’re sup-post to do. Please help
the piano template?
do you mean you hear piano noises?
if so you may be sending MIDI to the GM soundset inside your operating system. make sure that is turned OFF in the MIDI/Sync preferences
was curious on how i could learn about track organization and key tags
Did you watch this?

Disqus generic email template
does any of these templates wwork with the nocation Launchpad?
im trying to use for apc40 and mpd 26 any advice
Your ill.ness,
I purchased the Ill.Methodology workshop and the Studio Template. Both are absolutely BEASTLY in their own right. I’ve seen you’ve been willing to work with folks who’ve purchased some of your products at full price, and maybe give a prorated price on some of the other components. Basically, I just bought an APC40, and while it’s plug-n-play functionality is nice straight out the box, I MUST try your APC40 template. So, I’m wondering if you’d work with me on the apc40 template cost, or if I should just go ahead and buy it at $50. I’m absolutely dying to try this… You’re a genius among geniuses good sir, carry on!
I can’t wait! Ima buy the apc40 template, and if you wanna hook up the complete template suite, well that’d be awesome… ($100 for the studio, $50 for the apc40 = the complete suite $150) If not, no worries mate, you have definitely earned every penny.
It’s everything I’d hoped and dreamed.
Can you use this template with a controller that does not have aftertouch?
Anyone?
If we paid for your course twice now and have got the old templates from you, is there any upgrade to these new ones available? I really want the APC40 and the new mpd32.
Have purchased the DJ template suite, unable to drop supatriga component into components folder under audio. template loads but barely works, only a couple functions work on my mpd32 and apc 40 ( i have both, so tried both). Im working with latest version of live 8 and latest mac osX lion. please help me set this up? ~scrubbing in santa cruz
downloades template suite and plugin how do i get i all to work kind of new at this thanks
is there a reason i dont get any reply neeed help with this supatrigga thing please
Supa trigga is cool, but it’s a free AU. I wouldn’t depend on it in the real world. But make sure the dl from supa trigga is your AU folder in your HD, not your main folder. PATH for SupaTrigga–> MACHD–>LIBRARY–>AUDIO–>PLUGINS–>COMPONENTS. It is technically not a vst, its an audio unit, AU. I bought this template, stripped it raw, and dummy clipped up some stutter edit. Punch In stutter edits, it’s hot. The best thing (and very much worth it) is the VU meters and smart mixers, but supa trigga isn’t all that. That’s not ILL, and he can’t make templates for us with a $1000 dj vst. Get that apcwillmarshallillgates script, drop it into your script folder, set apc up in prefs. The template works great and even better when you spend the time and customize further. Don’t think you can buy this template, cut some mp3 cue points, and own a stage. It’s gonna take a little time. Take it slow and methodical, this process works flawlessly in ableton.
Thanks for posting Jay, tried all that and nothing is happening, would like some REAL help from someone at IllGates. Can someone help me and the other folks who have spent $75 for the suite and can’t get it to work?
I use the APC40 and the template has been working great until recently. For some reason the VU meters on the right and the HPF and LPF knobs for the right set of clips doesnt work. The launch still works for the R main track and R sample track but pretty much everything else doesnt work for the right side (even the volume control slider). Any suggestions?? Thanks!!
hi i’m having issues getting apc 40 will gates to show up in my preferences… i have installed supatrigger and the template as shown in your youtube videos….. i need some help please
anyone use it with maschine as vst plugin?
im thinking to buy apc 40 one.
byt i heard 9 will come out next year.
do you think i can use it with 9?
Still waiting for the Ohm64 to be ported… will it only be for the rbg or both??? i dont have the rbg
i know you are on tour so not expecting anytime soon… is that what you are using for the Church of Bass tour??? see you on thursday
Any word on the porting for the OHM64?
Quick question about the APC DJ Template. Whenever I use the push fx (beat repeat, stop, reverse, etc) my ableton grid automatically jumps to where the dummy clips are located. Is there some kind of mapping I can disable so that the push buttons have an audio effect but don’t visually effect ableton? I know I can easily use the bank select to jump back to my clip packs when needed, but I was hoping there was a more efficient set up for this. And thanks for releasing the template….completely changed my DJ flow! You’re the man.
