Re: mapping a large no of cc's at once

thanks for the reply but i don't want to undo allocations, i want to make them, manually

so for instance

cc41 - track 1 vol
cc42 - track 1 pan
cc43 - track 1 send etc.

the trouble is I am sending live cc41, cc42, cc43....cc(n) continuously, every 10ms - far too fast to select a new parameter ...

mapping a large no of cc's at once

does anyone know of a way to map midi cc messages that doesn't involve activating MIDI map mode

essentially I am trying to map an arbitrarily large no of controllers at once (from a max patch via the IAC driver)

the problem is if you have several messages going into Live at once MIDI map mode ...

Re: Line 6 FBV Shortboard Mk II good for controlling Looper

I am experiencing a problem with the FBV's usb port

compare it with any other usb gear you have - there is a small piece of plastic keeping the 4 prongs of the usb connection in place in the fbv this is missing (at least it is on mine)

the unit worked fine for a while but now the smallest ...

Common Music / Supercollider / Grace sync issues

Hi,

I have started to use 'Grace' for generative/algorythmic coding stuff and have to say its great. However i'm having some difficulties in getting it to sync with Live.

Live is set to recieve a sync signal through the IAC driver and the sync indictaor lights up suggesting that it is recieving a ...

Re: AKAI mpk61 - instant mapping - track pans??

i have an MPD 24 and managed to work out some of the auto-map stuff

obviously the faders automap to track volume

what wasn't obvious to me initially is that the 8 rotary encoders can auto map to the macro controls on any rack using the following CC messages

Macro 1 - Ctrl 15
Macro 2 - Ctrl 16 ...

Re: Akai MPD 24 midi map mode

Still, I have noticed that sometimes you need to turn a knob through the full range of CC values before it will be picked up by Ableton.
this seems to be the way with more than just the MPD series. my Remote Zero and Axiom 25 pretty much act the same way.

i know what u mean about turning the ...

Instant mapping and Group Tracks

Hi,

I am using an MPD24 with Live 8.1.3

I love the fact that the faders map automatically to the track volume

I would like for the faders to map to the track volumes of a selected Group Track

E.g. If track 2 is a group track containing 3 clip tracks when i select track 2 i want faders 1-4 on the ...
