Welcome
Welcome
to Independence Live - the ultimate host application for Independence 2.
Independence LIVE was specially designed for the use of Independence 2 during live
performances „on stage“. The user interface layout (dark background colors and light font
colors) of Independence Live is extremely useful for the typical environment on rather dark
stages.
You can load an unlimited number of Independence Projects and thus even 3rd party VST
effects & VST instruments into the „project channel“ part of an Independence Live session
and simply switch between these Projects in real-time - with the „program change“ option
even without using your computer keyboard or mouse!
Additionally you can edit your Independence Projects even directly in Independence Live at
any time: With the “edit project” button you can open Independence 2 in a separate window
so you can immediately adjust and edit your instruments. As soon as you select another
Project in Independence Live also the Independence 2 will change automatically and
shows the instruments for the selected Independence Live Project.
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 7
Manual
You can save and load everything you created with only one click and switch between the
Projects in Independence Live in real-time without any additional loading time.
The „remote control“ feature of Independence Live lets you use any hardware controller
with the 8 freely assignable knobs and buttons. To make your setup as easy and fast as
possible you can use the „learn“ option for the knobs and buttons. Beside that general
assignment of parameters to the remote control knobs and buttons you can additionally set
a minimum and maximum automation value for each parameter you assigned to a knob.
This means that you can use the full range (0% to 100%) of the remote control knob only
for a specified value range of the assigned parameter.
You can even use the remote control buttons to create a start note that triggers one of
the MIDI modules of Independence, like Arranger, Step Sequencer, Arpeggiator, etc. - so
you can simply start and stop these modules the easiest way possible. You can use your
sustain pedal, for example, to start or stop the playback of a Step Sequencer!
Additionally - to keep the overview - you can select up to 8 different colors for the knobs
and buttons. This way you can create groups of parameters that belong together which is
very useful especially during live performances!
For immediate access to your automation settings you can save everything in so called
„automation templates“ and assign these templates to any other Project at any time.
The bottom part of Independence Live shows the currently loaded Projects of your
Session. Each Project is displayed as a „Project Channel“ with its number, name, volume
settings and sync status. The color of the currently selected Projects switches into
„orange“. At the same time you select a Project, all parameters and settings immediately
get displayed in the Project display above.
Independence Live lets you assign one general tempo for all currently loaded Projects or
also to use the custom tempo settings of each Independence Project individually.
8 CHAPTER 2
Basics & User Interface
Basics & User Interface
First start of Independence Live
During the first start of Independence Live you get prompted to select the Independence
Pro Root Folder:
This folder contains all Projects, Layer Sets, Layers, presets, audio and MIDI files and
the documentation. You can change the location of your Independence Pro Root Folder
at any time afterwards and you can also change the Root Folder you want to use with
Independence Live - if you have multiple Independence Pro Root Folders installed. Please
browser through your hard disk(s) and select your Independence Pro Root Folder.
In the “Independence Live” menu you can open the Audio and MIDI preferences at any
time. The “Help” menu includes the entire PDF documentation and online links.
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 9
Manual
Independence Live Preferences
Audio Preferences
Independence Live recognizes all available audio interfaces, their I/O buffer sizes and
sample rates:
After the selection of your preferred audio interface we recommend you to set the I/O buffer
size to a minimum of 512 frames. Maybe some more details about this parameter:
The I/O buffer size is the buffer of your audio interface. This buffer allows you a smooth
and uninterrupted performance. On the other hand you have to keep in mind, that the
higher you will set this value, the more latency will be the result. This means that you have
to find the best balance between required performance and acceptable latency.
The sample rate offers the resolution that are supported by your audio interface.
MIDI Preferences
Independence Live can manage up to 32 MIDI ports (up to 512 MIDI channels
simultaneously!). Independence Live recognizes all available physical and virtual MIDI
ports automatically. Simply click on the pull-down menus to select the MIDI ports you want
to use with Independence Live.
Use the check boxes beside the ports to activate or deactivate the corresponding MIDI
ports. Please keep in mind that you have to assign one MIDI-in port at minimum otherwise Independence Live will not get any MIDI input.
10 CHAPTER 2
Basics & User Interface
User Interface
The user interface of Independence Live is divided into four different areas:
1
2
4
3
1: Session Details: With the Session pull-down menu you can load and save
Independence Live Sessions. Each Session has its own “volume”,
“tempo” and “meter” settings and can contain an unlimited number of
Projects.
2: Project Details: Each Independence Live Project corresponds to one Independence
2 Project. The Project display shows the settings of the currently
selected Projects, such as its name, volume and sync setings.
Here you can also load and save automation templates.
3: Project List:
Here you can load an unlimited number of Projetcs. The currently
selected Projects gets bordered in orange.
4: Custom Control: This part lets you customize your setup the most flexible way possible:
You can assign any Independence 2 parameter directly to a custom
remote knob or button of Independence Live. Activating the
powerful host and MIDI automation options for the custom control
lets you use any external hardware controller with Independence Live.

Manual
Session Details
An Independence Live Session contains ALL settings of the integrated Projects. So any
changes of the available parameters in this area will finally affect all Projects you loaded.
The “Session” pull-down menu lets you load and save your Sessions:
With a click on the „add project“ button you add a new Project to into the Projects List.
You can also add a new Project with a double-click in the Project List area. A new Project
always contains the „autoload“ file of Independence 2. On default the „autoload“ file
contains a sinus tone, but you can also create your own autoload file at any time.
“edit project“ opens Independence 2 in a separate window and automatically shows the
instruments of the currently selected Project. If you edit an empty Project, Independence 2
will open without any instruments/sounds loaded.
To remove a Project from your Independence Live Session, select the Project and click the
„remove project“ button afterwards.
You can switch between the available Projects in Independence Live with your mouse - or
use the „program change“ option to generally activate or deactivate the „program change“
feature for Independence Live. If activated you can use your external MIDI controller to
switch between the loaded Projects. Even if deactivated there is still the „program change“
feature of Independence 2 working. You can switch off this option on the Independence 2
„preferences“ page.
If Independence Live should not work correctly during your work, you can use the „bypass
midi“ button. It is like a „MIDI panic“ option to mute and reset all note-on MIDI signals
immediately.
IMPORTANT: ALL Session parameters affect the entire Independence Live instance!
The volume value assign the general volume for the entire Session.
The “tempo” parameter of Independence Live automatically applies to all Projects. You can
also set a custom sync/tempo to each Project separately.
Depending on your songs you can change the meter settings for your Independence Live
Session accordingly.
12 CHAPTER 2
Basics & User Interface
Project Details
The Project Display shows the settings and options of the currently selected Independence
2 Project:
Below the Project name there is the MIDI in signal and the levelmeter of the Project. Click
on the Project pull-down menu to load a Project:
You can assign a custom volume level to the Project with the parameter value field or the
volume knob. Use the „automation templates“ menu to load or save your entire automation
setups. This way you can assign your templates to any other Independence Project at any
time. Independence Live already includes the automation presets for hardware controllers
of many major manufacturers, such as M-Audio, Tascam, CME, Korg, etc.
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 13
Manual
As already mentioned before, Independence Live has its own tempo but also allows
individual tempo settings for each Project. On default a new Project is always synced to the
Independence Live tempo:
If the „sync“ button is activated the color changes into “orange” and the tempo value gets
displayed:
As soon as you enter a different tempo value for a Project, the Project will not longer use
the Independence Live tempo:
You can also change the tempo of a Project in Independence 2 (when editing the Project)
and Independence Live will automatically transfer the new value.
14 CHAPTER 2
Basics & User Interface
Project List
The bottom part of Independence Live contains the loaded Projects of your Session:
Each Project is displayed as a „Project Channel“ with its number, name, volume settings
and sync status. The color of the currently selected Project switches into „orange“. At the
same time you select a Project, all parameters and settings immediately get displayed in
the Project Details display above - and Independence 2 when opened.
To load or save a Project simply click on the Project name to open the pull-down menu.
You can change the order of the available Projects with drag’n’drop. Click and hold the
number of the Project you want to move and drag it to the desired position. During this
process a yellow line shows the new position. In the example below we want to put the
Project “Taikos - Song 3” at the end of the list:
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 15
Manual
To finish the process simply release the mouse button and you can see that the Taikos
Project is now at the end of list and the numbers of the Projects changed accordingly:
Custom Control
This part of Independence Live lets you customize your setup in an incredibly flexible way.
You can assign any Independence 2 parameter directly to a custom remote knob or
button of Independence Live. There is also a „host learn“ option for any Independence 2
parameter, so you just have to select this option for the parameter you want to assign to
one of the custom control knobs or buttons. To finish the assignment you only have to click
on the knob or button you want to use for the manipulation of the selected parameter.
Beside that general assignment of parameters to the remote control knobs and buttons you
can additionally set a minimum and maximum automation value for each parameter you
assigned to a knob. This means that you can use the full range (0% to 100%) of your MIDI
controler only for a specified value range of the assigned parameter.
You can even use the remote control buttons to create a start note that triggers one of the
MIDI modules of Independence 2, like Arranger, Step Sequencer, Arpeggiator, etc. - so
you can simply start and stop these modules the easiest way possible. You can use your
sustain pedal, for example, to start or stop the playback of a MIDI player!
Additionally - to keep the overview - you can select up to 8 different colors for the knobs
and buttons. This way you can create groups of parameters that belong together which is
very useful especially during live performances!
Activating the powerful host and MIDI automation options for the custom remote control,
you can even use any external hardware controller with Independence Live.
We will explain the setup of an automation and the use of the Custom Control features
later in this manual very detailed.
16 CHAPTER 3
Automation Setup & Custom Control
Automation Setup & Custom Control
Automation Setup
You can assign any Independence 2 parameter directly to a custom remote knob or
button of Independence Live. There is also a „host learn“ option for any Independence 2
parameter, so you just have to select this option for the parameter you want to assign to
one of the custom control knobs or buttons. To finish the assignment you only have to click
on the knob or button you want to use for the manipulation of the selected parameter.
IMPORTANT: Of course you can also use any MIDI automation from any Independence
2.0 parameter directly. You do not have to connect Independence 2.0 with
Independence Live first.
To create the automation for an Independence 2 parameter you have to click on the „edit
project“ button in Independence Live.
Now the the Independence 2 Project comes up in a separate window.
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 17
Manual
In our example we want to assign the “dry/wet” parameter of the reverb we use for the
loaded acoustic piano instrument to a knob of the Independence Live Custom Control area.
As usual click with the right mouse button on the parameter value to open the automation
menu. Since Independence Live is a host application for Independence 2, please select the
“host learn” option.
You can see that the parameter value display immediately switches to the “learn” status.
This status remains activated until you click on the knob in Independence Live.
18 CHAPTER 3
Automation Setup & Custom Control
Now switch to the Independence Live user interface and click on the knob you want to use
for the manipulation of the reverb “dry/wet” parameter - that’s it.
For a better overview you can now enter the name of the automated parameter for the
Custom Control knob - in our example “Reverb Dry/Wet”.
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 19
Manual
Custom Control
The Custom Control feature and the powerful host and MIDI automation of Independence
Live enable you to use the Independence 2 instruments and even 3rd party VST
Instruments with a maximum level of flexibility and customization to your needs.
The Custom Control area contains 8 freely assignable knobs and 8 freely assignable
buttons. You can assign any Independence 2 parameter directly to a custom remote knob
or button of Independence Live. This way you can easily control your preferred parameters
of your Independence 2 Project directly in Independence Live. As soon as you switch
between the Projects in Independence Live, also the Control Control knobs and faders
will switch accordingly to the settings of the selected Project. Additionally you can use any
external MIDI controller to control the knobs and/or the buttons at will.
Let’s take a look to the functionality and the setup of the Custom Control feature:
Custom Remote Knobs
After you assigned a parameter from Independence 2 to Independence Live (see
“automation setup”) you can open the options menu for the knob you want to use/edit with
20 CHAPTER 3
Automation Setup & Custom Control
the right mouse button.
To assign a MIDI controller number to this knob you can now
a) use the “midi learn” option.
Now the status “learn” is shown as long as you move the knob or fader of your MIDI
controller you want to connect with the selected Custom Control knob:
b) use the manual assignment of the MIDI controller number.
Simply select the number of the MIDI controller you want to use with the Custom
Control knob - that’s it.
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 21
Manual
As soon as you activated the automation of an Independence 2 parameter for a knob you
can additionally assign an “automation minimum value” and an “automation maximum
value”. This means that you can use the full range (0% to 100%) of your MIDI controller
knob or fader only for a specified value range of the assigned Independence 2 parameter.
The first step is the assignment of the minimum value:
Set the knob to the value you want to use as minimum (40%, for example) and select “set
automation minimum value” in the pull-down menu afterwards:
Now set the knob to your preferred maximum value and select “set automation maximum
value” (75%, for example) in the pull-down menu:
22 CHAPTER 3
Automation Setup & Custom Control
Now you can use the knob/fader of the MIDI controller you assigned with its full range
(from “0%” to “100%”) but the parameter value will only change in the assigned range
between “40%” to “75%”. Thus the 40% of the paramter value correspond to the 0% of
the MIDI controller - and the 75% of the parameter correspond to the 100% of the MIDI
controller accordingly.
To edit the minimum and maximum values you can “recall” both values at any time and
change them at will. To save your changes you have to click on the “set automation
minimum/maximum value” option again.
To reset your entire automation range assignment simply click on the “reset automation
range” option in the pulldown menu:
To keep the overview you can enter a custom name and select up to 8 different colors for
the knobs and buttons. This way you can create groups of parameters that belong together
which is very useful especially during live performances!
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 23
Manual
Custom Remote Buttons
Generally the 8 buttons of the Custom Control area work just as the knobs we explained
before. To assign a remote button to your external MIDI controller you can also use the
“midi learn” option.
Now the status “learn” is shown as long as you move the knob, fader or button of your MIDI
controller you want to connect with the selected Custom Control button.
24 CHAPTER 3
Automation Setup & Custom Control
You can also select the MIDI controller number manually:
As soon as you assign a MIDI controller number to a button, a capital “A” gets displayed on
the button to show that an automation is activated.
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 25
Manual
You can even use the Custom Control buttons to create a start note that triggers one of
the MIDI modules of Independence 2, like Arranger, Step Sequencer, Arpeggiator, etc. - so
you can simply start and stop these modules the easiest way possible. You can use your
sustain pedal, for example, to start or stop the playback of an Arranger!
To assign a start note to a button you can select the “learn” option and press the note on
your keyboard afterwards or you can assign the start note manually:
To enter a custom name for the button you have to click on the name to place the cursor.
Now enter the name and press the “enter” key to save the new name.
26 CHAPTER 4
Working with Independence Live
Working with Independence Live
On default Independence Live opens with one Project that contains the setup of the
“autoload” file of Independence 2. You can create your own “autoload” file in Independence
2. This way any new Project will contain your preferred setup.
You can also create your own custom Session in Independence Live and replace the
“autoload.ytis” Session file. Independence Live will then open with your custom settings on
default.
All parameters and the user interface of Independence Live habe been explained before,
so we now want to put the focus more on the workflow.
Generally Independence Live can open any Independence 2 Project, so you can
immediately load your instruments into the empty Projects. If you get started without an
existing Project or you want to create a totally new setup, here is how it works.
At the beginning you have to click on the “edit project” button to open Independence 2 in a
separate window.
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 27
Manual
Independence 2 will open without any instruments loaded...
... so we first have to load an instrument - let’s take an acoustic piano:
28 CHAPTER 4
Working with Independence Live
After the instrument was loaded successfully we now can save everything as an
Independence Project - to make it ready for Independence Live. Of course you can also
load further instruments and assign any insert filter or effects, modifiers, etc.
We will now save the Project with the name “Piano - Song 1” in the “projects” folder of our
Independence Pro Root Folder:
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 29
Manual
You can see in the backround that Independence Live automatically updated the Project
name accordingly.
We now want to save the current setup also as an Independence Live Session, so let’s
switch back to Independence Live (simply click on its user interface) and select “save as...”
in the Session pull-down menu:
30 CHAPTER 4
Working with Independence Live
The browser of your OS comes up and you can now enter the name for your Session
- in our example we enter “My First Live Session”. Sessions have to get saved into the
“sessions” folder inside your “Independence Pro Root Folder”.
Now the new name of your Session appears in the Session display.
Independence Live can manage an unlimited number of Projects. So let’s add two more
empty Projects - you can use the “add project button” or double-click in the Project List
area - and select Project 2 afterwards.
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 31
Manual
You can see that Independence 2 automatically switches to the new Project accordingly:
Let’s load some Taiko Drums of the Independence Groove Instruments for Project 2.
32 CHAPTER 4
Working with Independence Live
After the Taikos are loaded you can save the current setup as Project again.
Do the same for Project 3 - we loaded a Brass Section - and switch back to Independence
Live. Now your Project List looks like this:
yellow tools INDEPENDENCE LIVE 2.0 33

You can change the order of the available Projects with drag’n’drop. Click and hold the
number of the Project you want to move and drag it to the desired position. During this
process a yellow line shows the new position:
To finish the process simply release the mouse button:
Beside the general Independence Live tempo you can also use individual tempo settings
for each Project. Click on the “SYNC” button and enter a new tempo value:
