Ableton Forum

I'm trying to map IMPACT SOUNDWORKS - Shakuhachi flute and it does not work. When I try to get get the controls into Live (click CONFIGURE) it does not grab any controls. Another problem with this instrument is that it is not mapped into KK controls as well so if I enable showing the dials on the top and try to move them they do not move any controls inside the instrument. I use KK v2.3

here is an example: https://ibb.co/jRq25bC

Any ideas how to get this to work ?

Speak to the VST developer. Issue is on their side.

Thanks but your statement is obvious. I'm asking here to find help not to ask if I can or cannot ask developer. I have plugins from known company (IMPACT SOUNDWORKS) and I have already asked them this question. So far no answer so I'm trying to find some help quicker here on the forum.

Actually I have also some other plugins from other vendors where the controls are not mapped natively by NI, so they have to be mapped but the typical method by pointing and clicking does not work so this is very general question.

Its funny when the obvious answers are the actual answers isn't it!

Cheers

I really don't think this is actually possible at the moment as annoyingly i don't think the KK software sends or reports MIDI itself yet.
The only alternative is to use the instrument outside of KK and put the keyboard into MIDI mode and use Ableton's macros as normal and map them that way.

It should work it's just a bit confusing. Are you in midi mode of your controller?

You need to make sure you have loaded the correct kk into live its got to be the Komplete kontrol VST.adg for it to work in an instrument rack .

That’s not his issue here

From the sounds of it, the control is not host automatable but instead needs midi which seems strange to be designed that way, but if that’s the case, you cannot map midi when using KK as it operates in NKS mode using “host automation” mapped parameters.

You need to use it outside KK plugin and then switch the KK keyboard to midi mode and I assume learn a midi control to the plugin. No idea as I have never looked but just en educated guess.
