Yeah automation is the only thing that let's the abe gurus down. The program would be complete with session view automation without a doubt. The poor old abes can't get their heads around the relative and absolute issue though unfortunately. I'm going to try just doubling! Up the midi data from my w...

Hi, your definitely not doing anything stupid. This is the most requested feature for live, and has been for many years now, there are a few dirty workarounds using something like midi yoke and an extra track per track for holding the midi data. I havnt tried it, but as I understand you have to send...

It would be handy if you could automatically save your custom mappings to a python midi remote script which would be selectable in the preferences are.

Thanks for the replies guys. Well I don't have a mac, so I guess writing an app is out of the question after a bit of research :( unless there is an iPad ide ....... So it looks like it's either max for live and or python.....unless it's possible for me to write a .net windows application to act as ...

Workflow would be: Compose in session view the various sections of the song. Record snapshots of various mixer and device settings Arrange song in arrangement view. Play back song whilst recording several takes of snapshot morphing on the iPad Overdub best take of snapshot morphing into arrangement ...

I would also like to record my actions on the iPad so I could make several takes and then play back the best one to live whilst recording to session view.

I may be missing something, but isn't that exactly what KapturePad does? Do you want to build it to compete with it, or just for your own purposes? Just for my own purposes. I'd love to use kapture pad, but it doesnt allow for global morphing, only track morphing. Plus I want to be able to group/se...

You'd need to learn Objective-C and the Cocoa framework, IKd recommend a book called "Programming in Objective-C 2.0" as a starting point, of course you'll also need a Mac and X-Code 4, but aside from that all you need is time and patience. Just expect it to be quite a significant step up...

I want to create an iPad application that can take snapshots of all abletons parameter values. Does anyone know what I'd need to learn and where I can learn it? I'm a vb.net programmer, so not a complete noob.

Thanks.

You could always copy your entire arrangement over to session view, and then use kapture to store the various mixer/device settings. I dont think pre-drawn envelopes would transfer from arrangement view to session view though, so if you wanted to preserve these you'd probably just have to have one a...

These are amazing suggestions. Particularly session view automation recording.

why not add a transpose device to each track and midi map one knob on a controller to all of them?
