How to setup VS - Visual Synthesizer with Ableton Live for MIDI and audio reactive visuals

In this tutorial we show you how to set up VS - Visual Synthesizer as a DAW plug-in inside Ableton Live, to react to both the audio and MIDI data of your projects, in real-time.

Lucas demonstrates MIDI track routing using separate channels to isolate specific musical elements such as the kick drum and snare drum for triggering visual voices on multiple, layered VS materials.

Then Lucas shows you how to internally route Ableton Live audio into VS plug-in, to use gate/spectrum amplitude modulation of VS layer parameters, working with the threshold value to trigger a layer material brightness.
