Akai LPD8 Instant Mapping files (free Download)

[jhawk]

I just got an Akai LPD8 for which I've created a user remote script and 3 presets for controlling Macros, Drum Rack view and Impulse. I found other scripts and presets on the net for the LPD8, but they don't work. This does!

Included in this zip file:
Preset 1: Drum Rack (bottom 8 pads) + Macro Control with the 8 encoders
Preset 2: Drum Rack (top 8 pads) + Macro Control with the 8 encoders
Preset 3: Impulse (8 percussion slots) + Macro Control with the 8 encoders
+ HowToInstall.txt, screenshot of Ableton preferences and the remote script for automapping in Live.

Download it from here (New version 1.1):

Very interesting. I'll probably test it out later today and see how I like it.

I updated the zip file, and made a CC add on:

...if you're in CC-mode (the CC-button will light on your LPD8), then you get 8 more buttons to play with and use for manual MIDI mapping in Live. This could be used for triggering scenes, tapping tempo, "Play", "Stop", etc...

I have chosen to have the same CC's on all 3 presets (CC#9-16), but you could assign different CC's for every preset if you want (but please be aware: CC#1-8 is used for the rotary encoders for instant mapping to work).

... and remember, preset 4 is still free and available on your LPD8 for your own personal taste

Hi guys,

In the read me file it says to place the LPD8 folder into:
MAC: User > Library > Preferences > Ableton > Live 8.1.3 [or your version] > User Remote Scripts

This doesn't exist on my Mac!
I put it in the MIDI Remote Scripts folder under Apps/Ableton... but it did't work properly. I then saw another thread that putting in that folder is a common mistake, so the question is... where can I put it if the file path doesn't exist!?

Under preferences Ableton (or alike) is not listed at all.

Any ideas?

Live 9 by the way!

Same problem, can't find the folder for User Remote Scripts with Live 9

I spoke to Ableton support and Live 9 already has an LPD8 mapping that comes with it. You don;t need this script, just select LPD8 from in the midi preferences and you;re good to go. Full bluehand control and first 8 cells of drum rack / notes for instrument

i just wrote them too, I need it for mpkmini, the one included with Live 9 isn't working for me.

i've done all of the above, and noted too that the settings/mappings were already there, but SILENCE!
nothing happened!
this controller is not pining for the fjords, it is a dead controller!
