Just wondering if anyone here has ever found themselves in a situation where they wanted to map an endless encoder for use as an absolute knob?
I have an xone k2 and want to map one of the endless encoders to control e.g. a send in Ableton. The endless encoder only sends on/off type message, while I'm hoping there is a way to have it behave like a 0-127 knob.

Re: Using endless encoder as absolute knob
You might be mapping it with the wrong type of control method.
Bottom left part of the screen in Live gives you a dropdown box for control types. One of them should allow your encoder to have smooth control.

Re: Using endless encoder as absolute knob
Thanks guys! Yur2die4 nailed it. "Relative (BinOffset)" seems to be the best mode to assign an endless encoder to a knob with the purpose of 'sweeping' it hands on, as you would with eg a hp/lp filter.
