Use Boss ES8 to control Ableton

Post by peaveyfan » Wed Jan 10, 2018 11:01 pm

So I have a Boss ES8. I have 3 Strymon pedals connected to it. Big Sky, Timeline, Mobius. They are daisy chained together, ES8-Big Sky-Timeline-Mobius. Each pedal is set on it's own MIDI channel. I have programmed the ES8 to see each pedal and make the pc changes when necessary. I want to run out of the Mobius with a UM-One into my computer, and get Ableton and the ES8 to recognize each other, then MIDI map foot switches to Ableton to start or stop a scene, trigger clips, whatever.

I don't know how to get Ableton and the ES8 to recognize each other to be able to do this. Roland says it can be done, but even they are a little unsure.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Chris
