Control All Sends, Device Paramaters etc on Selected Track?

[jonnyboy10]

Hi all,

Y'know what always bugs me when a new Ableton based Midi Controller comes out?
The fact they only ever let you control the first 2 or 3 sends on a track!!
Ableton allows for upto 12 Sends but nobody seems to cater for that.

I recently bought a Midi Fighter Twister with 16 all singing and dancing Encoders with LED feedback but I couldn't control my Tracks how I imagined I'd be able to.
So I went down what seems to be the usual route of using the Selected Track Control Script from Wiffbi which gave me the functionality I was after but as it wasn't built using the newer Ableton API so it didn't give me the visual LED feedback I required when I turned the encoders.
I even emailed him and asked if there was a new version in the pipeline, sounds like there might be at some point but I wanted to get rocking with my Controller ASAP.

So I ended up delving into Midi Remote Scripting, which I can tell you now isn't an easy thing to get your head around.
After a week or so I had a break through and started to get somewhere with it...

Anyway, to get to the point, I now have a fully functional Selected Track Control Script with full LED feedback for my Controller.
As well as getting all the usual Device Paramater Control, track volume, pan, mute, navigation etc The biggest innovation in my Script is the ability to control ALL 12 SENDS over 2 Banks, so you only need 6 encoders and a button.

Although It's designed to work with Midi Fighter Twister out of the box, all of the controls can easily be re-assigned to match your own Controller.

Best of all is I've decided to make it available to download!

Oh, forget to say... I think this could work really well for the Novation Nocturn as a cheaper alternative to the twister but don't have access to one at the minute. If anyone who has one and tries this script with it I'd love to know how they get on!

Cheers re:dream,
I hope alot of people get the much needed control they need from it!

Id love to have a look at this scripting man, the link no longer works however. Any chance of re uploading?

It won't work anyway, there's been two updates to the Python version since then...

Cheers

all good man I have found and fell in love with a program called control surface studio (a python script generator for people who don't know how to script) its the answer to my problem
