(Update: The WiiMote is currently not being able to connect to M1/M2 Macs!) I am on a Mac, so this guide only works for OSX, as the software OSculator which translate the signals from the Wii-Drums/Wiimote is only for Mac.

How to set up WII Drums with Ableton Live You will not have a great experience for some ‘real-feel’ drumming but to start/stop samples and to use it for some show elements this could work for you. It is know working much better then before, still latency is an issue but it’s now much better then it was before. A few weeks ago I stumbled over a forum where people were discussing that issue, this way I found out that the software, I was using to connect my Wiimote was updated to work with the Wii-Drums and gave it another try. I tried if I could just hit them a bit earlier but this wasn’t working at all. Latency on MIDI drums with Ableton LiveīUT – the latency was to high and even just using them for just one song as a special effect wasn’t an option. I was looking into Wii-Drums and got some second hand ones of Ebay for about 15 Euros. I used the Wiimote in conjunction with a Wii-Guitar before and was very satisfied. Overall setting up would have been not very handy at all – that’s why I investigated into using midi drums.Īs I’m playing a hybrid kit with a Drumkat and Roland triggers, all my electronic drum sounds are being triggered in Ableton Live anyways. Set-up costs would have been very high as well. Using acoustic drums would have meant to use multiple sending/receiving audio units. Initial thoughts which led to use WII Drums with Ableton Live I thought this was a good idea but hard to put in practise. I wanted to be able to move and dance on stage. As I’m standing while playing in this band anyways and wanted to be even more pro-active.
I had this idea about creating a drum set-up which would allow me to move around on stage. Some years ago I was thinking about how to make my band’s ( Ego vs Emo ) performance more lively via using some WII drums with Ableton Live.
