Sorted: workaround for midi remote scripts

Post by baseinstinct » Tue May 04, 2021 3:28 pm

Hi
Back in Live 5, it was possible to use Tranzport midi remote script to control live's track and scene navigating, arming a selected track etc etc by sending some specific midi notes or ccs.

Can it still be done this way?
How to find out the which cc's and values actually do the tricks?
Is there an optimal generic script to be used?

I would be using qwerty keyboard, so no lighting functionality would be needed - just some essential IN stuff:
device focus
device navigation
select master track
track and scene navigation
scene trigger/ clip trigger
selected track volume, panning
etc.

Thanks a lot.

Works a treat but one slight problem with mackie: not capable of solo/arm/mute selected track. Tranzport is the a possible alternative. MIDI mapping anyone?

Hallo,
This maybe an alternative, you can trigger track/session/view/global actions with standard midi commands or with keyboard shortcuts…
(works for me in Ableton 11)
