how can I save my midi assignments within a set?

hi there!
sometimes I assign certains parameters in a set to a knob or a slider in an external midi control...but it all gets lost when I close Live...

is there a way to save them too?
thanks

they are saved in the live set. just use the save function, maybe something is wrong with your midi setup?

find a page that you like, then crtl click (on mac) or right click (on pc). go to view source. that is the html code. modify it to your heart's content.

it might be considered thieft of intellectual property, however, i have objections to this decree

1. in my opinion, intellectual property requires the use of a level of intellect (or skill) that yeilds a creation that is not readily or easily repeatable. ie, if you are a bomb artist, and i get the tools you use, and all i can do is stuff that looks like your stuff, the talent is in the tools, not in you. if all i need is your tools to do what you do, your skill (intellect) isnt developed enough for you to claim the creation as intellectual property. (that is an example of why ableton is so great!! there are so many possibilities, that it doesnt nessicarily define an artist's musical identity, making it nessicarily easily repeatable, it augments the artists pallate of textural, musical, and audio engineering possibility).

2. "its like having to ask permission to keep a rock that someone threw at your head"-- banksy. (if you know banksy's work, you know why this is relevant).

all midi info should be saved automatically in a saved set. check that all the automation is saved, has red dots next to the corresponding places, then save, close and reopen to check.
