what is 14 bit absolute?

[Shift Gorden]

when you open the midi mapping mode (ctrl-m) there are ANOTHER set of controls at the VERY BOTTOM LEFT of the Live GUI to select 14 bit high resolution mode etc, lots of options there. too bad this is so poorly hidden.

This help?

this site says:

"Ableton Live supports high resolution MIDI. Simply use the MIDI map function as per usual, but send a pair of high resolution MIDI bytes one after the other. The high byte is sent first, directly followed by the low byte. If the bytes are of the correct MIDI controller and channel pair, then Ableton Live will recognise this as a high resolution MIDI control message.

This option can also be manually selected by mapping a parameter to a MIDI controller in Live, and then selecting the MIDI controller in the MIDI Mapping Mode screen. In the bar on the very bottom left hand side, a menu allows the selection of a variety of MIDI mapping modes, including "Absolute 14-bit"."

I'm glad you actually pulled the quote out - I missed that last part. Never freaking knew it was there.

What the hell

This should be in the obscure Ableton knowledge post as the most obscure thing ever.
