Ubermap for Push 2 (VST/AU parameter remapping)

Post by tom_d » Thu May 05, 2016 8:38 pm

Ubermap is a free, open-source script for Ableton allows you to create custom Push controller mappings for VST and AU plugins. The key information is listed below, please see the README (https://github.com/tomduncalf/ubermap/b ... /README.md), the original post (viewtopic.php?f=55&t=201849) and the post below (viewtopic.php?p=1697827#p1697827) for more information.

Please note that Ubermap is still considered experimental so please only install it if you are confident with what you are doing, no responsibility can be accepted for any problems you may encounter!

Requirements: Live 9.6.2.b1 Beta, Push 2 (Push 1 should also work, but some features will be Push 2 only)

Latest stable Ubermap version download link: http://bit.ly/ubermap-0_4b4
Latest experimental Ubermap version download link: http://bit.ly/ubermap-1_0_0b2

README (documentation): https://github.com/tomduncalf/ubermap/b ... /README.md

Known issues
  • Only AU and VST devices can be mapped, not internal Live ones. Not sure if this will be fixed.
Version history
1.0.0b2 (experimental): Fix adding blank spaces (and update instructions for doing so), add instructions for Push 1 users
1.0.0b1: Added support for parameter value mappings for non-continuous parameters (Push 2 only) - see viewtopic.php?p=1698330&sid=aedee4ab6c1 ... d#p1698330
0.4b4 (stable): Added back support for passing through custom parameter names to Push 2
0.4b3: Fixed issue where new device mappings were not being dumped
0.4b1: First version to work with Push 2

Original first post below:

Hi all,

Apologies for being silent for a while, have been busy with other things but took delivery of a Push 2 this week and the first thing I had to do was get Ubermap working on it, of course ;)

I've not tested it thoroughly at all and some stuff might not work, consider it very "alpha" quality. I've noticed the "Best of" bank no longer seems to work and instead just the first bank shows, it looks like this is how all Live's devices work now (some with a "Main" bank as the first one), so the workaround is to just make your first bank the ones you want to show when you haven't gone "in" to a device. However my old plugin mappings seem to work otherwise which is nice!

Obligatory photo of a mapped plugin, in this case TAL U-No-LX:

So if anyone out there fancies testing it out (preferably if you are familiar with Ubermap already), it would be great to get your feedback. Usual disclaimers apply, and you'll need the latest Live 9.6.2b2 beta (there's no point targeting old versions when a beta is out, as the code keeps changing) and possibly a Push 2 - I've not got Push 1 any more to try it out on there, but I'll try and support it on Push 1 as best as I can if people want it - please complete the poll at viewtopic.php?f=55&t=221502 (but really, you just should just upgrade, Push 2 is stunning!)

The download link is at http://bit.ly/ubermap-0_4b3, same instructions as before (install.command, Windows users are on your own ;) - I've not had time to update the manual install instructions so you may need to look at how install.command works) and the code is on Github at http://bit.ly/ubermap-src, pull requests/feedback welcome.

Thought I would start a new thread as the old one was getting a bit long, but if you are new to this, there's lots of discussion about it on the old thread: viewtopic.php?f=55&t=201849.

Obviously Push 2 opens up lots of new possibilities with its lovely screen and I've already got lots of ideas for where this could go (assuming Ableton don't get there first with a proper mapping solution!) but hopefully this is a good start :)

A couple of people have said they'd happily pay for Ubermap - I've got no intention of charging for it and the core remapping functionality will always be free and open source (perhaps in future I might develop additional features which are "premium"), but if you'd like to support development/help me buy more beer ;) please feel free to donate at https://www.paypal.me/tomduncalf/.

Cheers,
Tom

By the way, it would be great if people could let me know what version of Push they are using so I know where to focus development effort etc: viewtopic.php?f=55&t=221502

Hi Tom,


Happy to see you back.

So i m PC user with Push2 and i tried to install ubermap. I have no crashs, but it's not working.

Here is the mainlog file content :

************

INFO: UbermapDevices ready
INFO: Applying UbermapDevices patches
INFO: config not found: C:\Users\Yan\Ubermap\Devices\EQ Eight_abf576fd439b33ab4a23fd8f10955825.cfg

*************

There was no files written in the devices folder.

For info : on previous install of ubermap, there was a devices.py to put on _common folder. Now it's missing. Maybe it's linked to the problem ?

Hey, it looks like it is installed properly, but not working for some reason. I'll test it out this evening and see if I can work out why, as someone else reported the same issue.

Just to check, you followed the instructions at https://github.com/tomduncalf/ubermap/t ... stallation? I think these are accurate - the structure has changed since the old version, hence the missing devices.py file.

Ooh i missed this thread! Will download and test my existing mappings. Should we start a separate thread for mapping definitions?

I totally screwed up :oops: and didn't include the call to dump new devices... was in such a rush to release it that I didn't test with any new devices! I've published a new version which should fix this, please let me know if it does! http://bit.ly/ubermap-0_4b3

One thing to note: custom parameter names currently aren't working on Push 2. I'm investigating this :)

Hey Peter, cheers, and thanks for the donation, I will spend it wisely ;)

That's a great idea, I'll start a new thread now!

Please try the latest version (see my message to you above) - this should be fixed I hope

I've done this: viewtopic.php?f=55&t=221580 so please post away! I've also re-organised the start of this thread to make it clearer where to download Ubermap, etc.

I Tried your last beat from your last link (0.4b3). Now it seems to work with vst plugins (but not with ableton live plugins). Indeed, the param renaming doesn't work, only bank renaming for now.

Ready to test next one ;)

Ah sorry, should have mentioned that - I don't think it will work with Ableton devices at all, or certainly not the ones with the "fancy" Push 2 layouts (e.g. Operator, Simpler). Not sure if I will ever add this support back in, as the dynamic mappings provided with Ableton are so good and it might be quite hard to support, but do let me know if there are specific cases where it would be useful and I will see what I can do.

New update at http://bit.ly/ubermap-0_4b4 should allow you to use custom parameter names again :)
