Ableton program auto change

[tlevin]

This is more of an Ableton related question but I’m new to it and didn’t find a guide that worked for me:
I want to play with Ableton in the background to be able to change programs as the song goes while also playing some playbacks (I have songs with changing tempos and I want the band to just play without worrying). How do I connect Ableton programs to GP? I have a windows machine so I guess I need midi ports?

Ableton to Automate Gig Performer

Hi, I’m new to Gig Performer and trying to figure out the best way to get Ableton to play the backing tracks while simultaneously sending program changes to Gig Performer so that the patch changes in Gig Performer can be automated to change as the song goes. I want Ableton to do all of the patch changes in other words. Just want to use GP to be the VST host. I prefer to do this on windows…I presume I’llneed virtual midi ports installed on windows, Mac has built in AIC driver. Thanks!!
