Do I have to copy the python files too ? Where ?
I don't understand why it was working with Live 8.1.3 and not with Live 8.2 any more...
It works fine with Live 8.2.

You don't copy the automap files. You have to copy the remote scripts from within the application and not from the Library/Preferences as per instructions.

Here's the automap if anyone wants it:

Here's an updated version of the LiveMixer.automap:

I rearranged the buttons so that Page 1 is Mutes, Page 2 is Solo and Page 3 is Return Mutes, Nudge down/up and Tap tempo. Page 1 still has the knobs from guille's original Page 3 so that Knob 8 is always Tempo when Live launches.

Great looking script! Having some trouble getting it up and running, hoping one of you kind gents might be able to help.

I've installed everything correctly -

- the Nocturn folder copied to Live's MIDI-Remote-Scripts folder,
- Nocturn selected as Control Surface in Live, with Automap in/out
- Remote and Track IN and OUT for Automap also enabled in Live.
- each mapping loaded one-by-one and "set as default for client",
- and MIDI channels 1-4 enabled in Automap (mixer, instr, fx, user, repsectively).

I see parameter names ("vol", "arm", "param1", etc...) in the Automap window, and Live seems to be receiving MIDI data OK (the "reserved" midi input yellow indicator lights up when using the controls)....However, only very few controls are working - specifically, just the mutes on Mixer page. None of the other controls on the Mixer (or any other pages) seem to be working, although Live does appear to be receiving MIDI from them..... *scratching head*

Have repeated the install procedure countless times (from other suggestions about clearing controls, rebuilding, etc) to no success.

On Live 8.2.1, and Automap 3.5.

Many thanks in advance for help! And thank you Guillermo for this incredible work!

sounds like you took all important steps. are you sure your automap setup is correct?
thats where most people have problems. make sure you haven't 4 maps in mixer group
every map has it's own group and channel.
if you say some knobs are working than it*s only a little mistake somewhere.
i guess in automap.

Yeah, sounds like you took all the right steps. Make sure that user, fx, inst, mixer sections all have the correct maps and channels. I would suggest reinstalling Automap and start over. In fact, Novation just updated Automap to 3.7 so it would be a good excuse. Interesting part of this update is "Ableton devices support":

Thanks, guys! Got it sorted. I had some mondo mappings across all 16 MIDI channels on a track in Live I'd forgotten about, which were interfering with the Automap mappings. Removing this channel solved it! Thanks for your replies and the heads up about the new Automap version.

Thanks for your brilliant work Guille! :D After an hour of fiddling with that god-forsaken automap software, I got things up and running smoothly.

I picked up the Nocturn 25 with the assumption that it would automatically map to the tracks, and luckily for me your script accomplishes just that.

Is this working for anyone with Live 8.2.1 and Automap 3.7? I had it sort of working with Live 8.1 and Automap 3.4, but now I cannot get it working at all. I thought maybe it was the fault of having upgraded Live, but I now suspect that it is the result of upgrading to Automap 3.7.

For one thing, I have two entries for "Nocturn" in the midi device pull-down menu, which makes sense because Automap now installs an entry by itself. However, neither of these options seems to work for me.

Anyone?

Hello,
No problems here with 8.2.1 and Automap 3.7.
Guille's Nocturn script should be in your Live 8.2.1 program folder.
Automap creates a script in your user folder, under 8.2.1 user remote scripts.
The Automap one will appear at the bottom of the midi pull down list in Live.

Maybe you've done something wrong there. Try again?

Once I had it set up, I moved all 4 templates under the 'Mixer' tab in Automap.
I have never had a problem after the initial fiddling setting it up.

Cheers,
Dean

I finally got around to trying this, but I simply couldn't get it to work correctly. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

In the zip folder there's one folder called Automap and one called Live; inside the "Live" folder, there's a folder called
"Nocturn", which I copied into Live's remote script folder, as per instruction (this leaves a folder called "src" (which
contains a bunch of .py files) and two "DS_STORE" files. This, of course, makes me wonder: the src folder and the "DS_STORE"
files are not mentioned in the Readme - what should I do with these?

Next, I selected the now added "Nocturn" option in MIDI prefs, and chose Automap MIDI as in and out, activating REMOTE (and
nothing else) on both.

I then closed Live and cleared my previous settings in Automap, activating channels 1-4, and loading the various Automap
files, into their respective pages.

I restarted Live, and some of the controls did affect Live, but in the wrong places (the "User" page controlled the mixer
levels, for instance, but were completely jittery, and the sliders in Live seemed to snap to a certain point).
