Live 11 add 8 extra macros to Remote Script?

Post by file » Sun Feb 28, 2021 7:20 pm

Hi

I am trying to edit the script so I can use the Keylab 49 MKII with all the 16 macros.
[DeviceControls]
# The Encoders will control the device parameters (you can also
# use knobs or sliders). Replace the -1's with the CCs sent by
# the respective controls on your controller. You can also set
# the channel for each controller if it differs from the global
# channel (if you leave the channel of an encoder at -1, Live
# will assume that the encoder uses the global channel).
Encoder1: 73
Encoder2: 75
Encoder3: 79
Encoder4: 72
Encoder5: 80
Encoder6: 81
Encoder7: 82
Encoder8: 83
Encoder9: 77
Encoder10: 76
Encoder11: 71
Encoder12: 74
Encoder13: 93
Encoder14: 18
Encoder15: 19
Encoder16: 16
EncoderChanne1: -1
EncoderChanne2: -1
EncoderChanne3: -1
EncoderChanne4: -1
EncoderChanne5: -1
EncoderChanne6: -1
EncoderChanne7: -1
EncoderChanne8: -1
EncoderChanne9: -1
EncoderChanne10: -1
EncoderChanne11: -1
EncoderChanne12: -1
EncoderChanne13: -1
EncoderChanne14: -1
EncoderChanne15: -1
EncoderChanne16: -1
Only works up till encoder 8!
Yes you can have up to 3 banks on "User Mode", but MKII is sending CC from all faders and knobs with bank 1 if you map manually.
My guess is that Ableton needs to update the script, because obvious just putting new lines for the rest of the encoders, it does not work.

Anyone found a solution?

I'm having exactly the same issue with an old Launch Control
I was disappointed to see that only the first 8 pots are recognised.. presumably a failure (well legacy function) of the restrictions of Live 6 - 10
Like you I hoped to create a customer user script to overcome this without success.

It may be something that has not updated or maybe is not possible (yet)?

Based on how I have seen Push handle the extra macro controls I assume there was actually a lot of tricky logic they had to do to make 16 macros work and still maintain compatibility with 20 years of hardware and devices out there built around the 8 macros. May be something that needs to be in feature request to get some traction to hopefully update as it would be handy to have 16 encoders instantly available when selecting a track from a custom controller

To be honest I can't get remote scripts to work at all with the Launch Control
May be user error.
