Using XY Pad Without Manual Mapping

[jonnyH]

Hi there. Can't seem to figure this one out.
I want to be able to use an xy controller to automatically assign to whatever effect has the "blue hand" active on it.
I know how to manually assign the pad to one instance of an effect, but I would like to be able to have it effectively automatically map to whatever I'm controlling at the time. For example, I have two Grain Delays, and want to use them both at separate times from the same XY pad on one controller.
I can make a custom user script, but I don't see an option for XY controls there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks everyone!

x and y are each CC#'s just like any other parameter. The custom script should do the trick.

One way to make the most of it, would be to have 4 presets on your controller that you can switch amongst. Each with different x/y CC#'s. Then you can switch amongst those presets to access all 8 macros.

Otherwise, you can just set two in the script, and if you have knobs/faders, add those too. Then you have to make sure that the parameters you are intending to control happen to correlate with your scripting.

thanks for the quick reply, but this isn't quite what i was asking.
i'm aware that the pad's axes send cc's. and i don't want to switch presets on my controller.
i want the xy pad to automap the same way that the macros do, ie. when i select a device, the xy pad on my controller is automatically assigned to the xy pad in live.
maybe i wasn't clear enough with my original post, instead of custom user script (like a python script) i meant user control script (the text file in the live app package that allows you to access faders, sends, macros, but not xy as far as i can see.) i can make a USER script, but not a CUSTOM one.
has anyone used the iphone/ipad app liveControl? it has a dynamically assigning xy pad, but i'm sure it's accessed via a python script. is there any other way to do this?
thanks
