Method described and tested for OSX (macOS High Siera 10.13.6) (Apple) operating system. The midi messages are sent via the IAC Driver Bus.Ī maximum of 16 Musescore unique instruments can be played simultaneously due to the number of channels available for midi. Here the midi messages are internal to the computer rather than physical cables.
The method is described for the Mac (Apple) OSX operating system, it is expected similar (not tested) methods could be used on other operating systems.Ībleton Live, trademark of Ableton AG, Schönhauser Allee 6-7, D-10119 Berlin, DeutschlandĪ method is described to use Musescore as the scoring engine (source of midi notes) and Ableton Live as the sound engine (recipient of Musescore midi) for the OSX (Mac / Apple) operating system. A method to achieve this is described via a worked example. Sometimes it may be desirable to create the score in Muescore but use the richer selection of instruments in Ableton Live and to be able to audition the composition as it is created in Musescore as it would be heard in Ableton Live, rather than the static method of exporting and importing midi files.
Musescore is a self contained scoring tool that has it’s own sound engine and associate instruments.
