So refactoring this to use the ControlSurface v2 class is one step in this direction, which imho could enable things like a step sequencer mode, or 32 volume channel etc etc. I / we are also looking for people interested in taking this to the next level, as the current code is mainly based on old-ish other scripts. When I found out that I needed to write a script to optimise my live workflow with 2 Xone K2. You’ll find further info at the Github repo, a couple of wiki pages on how to “install” and how to use (“manual”), lots of ideas and of course a couple of issues. Display Ableton track colors in midi controller pads. You can also “bank” through pages of parameters, so for example the Wavetable instrument currently shows a hundred or so. In both cases, the scripts are meant to interact with what Ableton calls Control Surface, and which basically are your MIDI. Unfortunately the amount of characters per encoder display segment is limited to 6 (per line), but the script takes care of abbreviating. A following article will show how to write User Remote Scripts. The files in that folder will explain to you how to. If you manage to find one, they are also imo quite affordable (I paid 350€ for mine). You want to go to library > preferences > ableton > latest version > user remote script. I thought / hope that might be of interest to a couple of people hereįor those not familiar with the MackieC4, it has 32 encoders/vpots with encoder rings and a corresponding display for all 32 encoders.
