Wow, great answer! Thank you very much for the effort put into this.

It is a very cool setup! Some points I would like to know more about:

1) I am not sure how are you using the loopers tracks. Do you use beat repeat or similar on these tracks? But why on separate tracks and not just on the main ...

I’m trying to create a hybrid setup that I can use both for live performance (playing virtual instruments, triggering effects and clips, etc.) and classic DJing (selecting and mixing/playing tracks on the fly).

For the DJing part, I need some advice on organizing things in the least cumbersome way ...

Can't MIDI Map and use a control surface....

Hi, thanks for the feedback!
The thing is that I can see in the midi monitor the midi messages sent to the controller to change the color but they have no effect (only for the mapped parameters). So it seems the remote script is still ...

Apparently I need a longer delay to initialize the pads. Also I put a call to the _init_pads_colors() function at the end of _on_identity_response().
Now the pads colors are initialized correctly (half orange and half red, green when pressed). I have also added a beat listener function that makes ...

Hi, as a test I am simply trying to initialize APC40 8x5 matrix pads to a color (orange) and attach a listener to change color to red when pressed and back to orange when released. The listener part works, but the color initialization doesn't (pads stay black). Not sure why since the code to change ...

You can join the discord server here and i'll put a basic working script in "ableton-remote-scripts" channel if you want.

Awesome, joined! What is this discord about?

If you put .py files in the remote scripts folder, Live should compile them on its own.


Yeah I've just found that, this makes things easier!

The problem is I can't find any working example of .py files for remote scripts. The ones I have found here https://github.com/gluon/AbletonLive12 ...

Hi! How can I find the exact python version Ableton uses?
I need it to compile custom remote midi scripts.

Do you mean "midi channels", or channels as "tracks".
Because if you mean midi channels, then you won't get to it with M4L as everything's collapsed to a single midi channel.


I mean midi channels. Yeah I have just found that Live collapse everything on channel 1 unfortunately. Any workaround?

Hi guys, do you know if there is an m4l device out there that lets you map incoming midi notes on different channels to other midi notes on other channels?
The use case is an APC40 sending for example C3 channel 1, C3 channel 2, C3 channel 3 mapped respectively to C3, D3, E3 on channel 4.

Hi, I am looking for a clean 3 or 4 bands equalizer for DJing. Something like the eq in Traktor, which is very clean and doesn't boost audio peaks when cutting lows or highs.
I have tried the Ableton EQ3 (even with flatten response) but I don't like what it does to the audio, too much color and ...

Yes, a guy suggested me to use a return track with outputs set the same as the cue. So I can individually adjust the level for each track

I need to specify a different cue volume for different tracks when listening on the cue bus, but I can only find a global cue volume. Isn't really possible to adjust a track cue volume independently from other tracks?

Hi guys, I was wondering if there is a custom script somewhere in the world to map controllers pads (for example on an APC40) to arrangement locators instead of session clips or scenes. The goal is to trigger different parts of the set in the arrangement instead of session view using a controller ...
