all keys available for key mapping (", <, >, +,.,etc.)

I wonder if this a "powerbook-only" restriction, but I can only map the alphabetic characters to live functions. Even ä and ü is not working.

key mapping

Post by the1palmer » Mon Sep 15, 2008 12:41 pm

Hi, fairly new to Live.
I can't get most of the keys to work live for key mapping. Only q, r, i, p...?

Not sure why this can be, this is both for my laptop and new imac. Any suggestions on why most keys don't work for key mapping?
thanks

Hi,

The computer keyboard can be used to input MIDI notes as well, and this is ON by default. Click the little "music keyboard" icon, top right of Live, to turn it OFF, and you can then use all of the letters for manual mapping.

Kind regards,

All keys please

I am with people on this - The more flexibility the better. It has anoyed me for a while that the Function keys are set to the Mutes of the Mixer and can't be altered.

I wouldn't want the all out Key mapping flexibility of Logic - But a bit more would be very useful.

and NOT ONLY every key mappable

how about EVERY ableton function mappable or shall i say midi assignable?

there are lots of things that you cannot midi assign which i wish you could, like Solo Chainn's Instruments, Focus on VST's (wrench), and tons more...

You can get around this using Bomes - convert F1 - F12/Ins/Home/PG UP/PG DN etc, to CAPITALs using translators...
