Mapping with two differents Midi controller

Post by Miso soup » Wed Nov 04, 2009 1:34 pm

Hello everyone :)

Here's the facts, i'm preparing a live set and i wanted to know if it's possible to assign two differents buttons on the scene selection and scene launch.
I have to play the guitar on stage and control the scenes launch, and i want to start a scene launch with one controller which is near my laptop and with another one which is on the floor... I know that it was possible to do this on Live 5 or 6, but now with Live 7 i don't know if it's still possible to do this.

( Or, if it's not possible anymore, do you have a tip for making this possible ? )

Thanks a lot :)

Hello,
I think there is a solution :
You need to tweak your midi gears a little.
You'll need to put the same midi CC on the same midi channel on both controllers, and then, for live, your two controllers will look like only one, just to control the function you want...
Is it working ?
