Live 5 and Novation Automap

kennerb · Post by **kennerb** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:13 pm

Has anyone figured out the best way to use the comm channel settings?

It is really handy to have a shortcut to be able to scroll through the comm channel but I can't find the best way to use it in Live. It would be cool to have it set up to be able to roll through control of vsts without having to use the mouse but I haven't figured out a way to do that using the ableton automap and some customization.

Didn't this thread used to be a sticky? Why no more?

Spring cleaning I presume.

Regarding jumping faders, etc.:

fixing jumping faders would be easy. at least with knobs.

if you had no limit to a knobs movement you could indicate its current state with leds running round the outside of it. when the state changes, viola, the leds show the alteration, and the knob isn' calibrated in some nasty position.

Thanks! Riley

Since both Novation and Ableton hide the fact that automap does not work for 99% of people (Hi DKF!) properly yet on Pc to general public (in fact they imply it DOES work in their advertising..), I suspect they removed the sticky from here to make it even less likely to find out this info out BEFORE you buy the unit, nice huh?

ROFLMAO!!!

Hello.

I'm anxious to find out what's up with all this, or if we could get a head count of how many people have your problem, another problem or no problems.

Just being an SL fanboy.

I have the sticky instruments problem, but i posted a workaround for this a couple of posts ago. I also spoke to Novation who said Ableton have fixed this problem and it will be included with the next update. Apart from this it's an Awesome controller.
BTW im using a PC

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to use Remote SL without automapping to create your own templates just like normal midi controller? It seems I will ignore Automap for sometime. Are they compatible with Intel-Macs? The reason I'm willing to get one of them is simply I couldn't find any alternatives to Remote SL as a portable controller keyboard.

I just bought one today. It just needs to be easier to customize and delete templates. If I wanna control multiple instruments, FX's, scenes like track setup templates, should I turn off the automap in Live?

Theoretically, yes. Sometimes (at least I) have a problem where it will revert to the ableton automap, thus ridding me of my previous setup.

I am particularly blonde when it comes to midi, especially with this control and its template software.
