Live 9 controller issues

[Halium]

I'm having an issue with Live 9 and my tascam us 2400.

The first bank of 8 faders and buttons work perfectly but the further two banks buttons are not.

The faders on the other banks are fine and if i select a mute with the mouse it triggers the mute on the surface but live wont un-mute when i then press the physical button.

Anyone else have the same problem?

Exact same problem here. Mackie control users are having the same issue. There appears to be a problem with the mackie xt script. They are working on it.

Hey, I fixed most of the bugs in the mackie implementation. Simply download the files listed below (as far as you need) and put them into the corresponding midi remote scripting folder on your machine:

OSX: applications/<Live 9 => show package content>/Contents/App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts/MackieControl or MackieControlXT
WIN7: C:\ProgramData\Ableton\<Live xxx>\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts\MackieControl or MackieControlXT
WINXP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Ableton\<Live xxx>\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts\MackieControl or MackieControlXT

Then run Live 9. All the modifications are without any warranty and at your own risk of course. Please backup your corresponding .pyc files before. They will be overwritten.

MackieControlXT.py (http://we.tl/i0UTapV3Hi)
will fix the button issue on MackieXTs. Put it in your MackieControlXT folder.

MackieControl.py (http://we.tl/PPxSuwfgHv)
will fix the bug, that fader and buttons of Mackie Control stay in it's last state when quitting live. Put it in your MackieControl folder.

ChannelStrip.py (http://we.tl/gCMT2smL8i)
will fix slow reacting channel peak meters/leds. Especially for those nucleus users out there it is a shame to have a one second delay on each channel's peak meter. If you use this fix, keep in mind that midi traffic will increase. But I haven't noticed any serious loss in performance on my machine. Also "Fader-touch selects channel" ist added. If you don't like this feature, simply comment out line 155 (#self.__select_track()). Put it in your MackieControl folder.

Transport.py (http://we.tl/rVrVoMJjSB)
will change the behaviour of your transport section in Arrangement mode: By holding the loop button while turning the transport wheel you can set position and length of the loop (like in logic). The scrub/alt/ctrl buttons are now used to modify the speed/grid of track position marker when turning the transport wheel. The position always snaps to the selected grid. Pressing the transport play button in Arrangement View starts playing from the actual position of the transport wheel marker by default and can be changed by pressing ctrl or shift. Put it in your MackieControl folder.

Thats it so far. Further improvements are planned when i have more time.
Please ask me if you discover any bugs. I've tested with nucleus and anything works as expected and even better than Mackie has ever worked under Live

Cheers

Hello Horst

I would love to try your controller scripts for Mackie XT but sadly the downloads are no longer available

Could you repost them?

Thanks

Exactly the same here, also experiencing this loss of 'cue' ('sel', 'solo' & 'mute') function with my Tascam US-2400 - worked surprisingly great up through Live 8... even despite the fact that the Tascam is relatively old and was long ago discontinued, ...curiously. I am glad I saw these other posts - looks like I am not the only Tascam US-2400 user experiencing this; I also am hopeful (sorry to say) that other control surfaces are similarly NOT functioning correctly.

If those third party mackieXT downloads work, I'd sure be interested until Ableton gets it sorted out. I read, by the subsequent poster, that the download links no-longer worked (the links themselves). I am interested in trying, any new links would be great!

Thanks,
Sadkin

Hi All,

I realise that this is a very old post, but does anyone still have a copy of these scripts? I'm wondering if I can get some more functionality out of my Behringer X Touch.

Many thanks
