There you just can't map certain parameters, that they decided, for some reason, not to make accessible to the API.
LFO and AUX Amount in Sampler, I'm looking at you!
Wait: 128 is 7 bit! That doesn't look right, 7 is not a "biting" that's used. What's the other bit doing? Maybe one more doubling would be possible...
Don't you got contact to people from Ableton in the Beta forums? Maybe ask there if they could double the parameters easily.
Well I always post what I think is needed to the suggestion box on the site, as well as on the forums. At present, I think not many, if anyone cares about being limited to 128 parameters, which is totally understandable.
And you're lucky if you get feedback from Ableton at all, although they do respond to bug reports, two of mine being false.
On a final note, earlier I restarted my laptop after it powered off (battery is dead) plugged in Push and loaded up Live. It asked if I'd like to recover my work, which was a delightful gesture. I said of course, waiting for it to load up with a few instances of zebra etc. A critical error window popped up saying basically I have to fuck off. Then I starting hearing zebra-like feedbacks, synths, reverbs, and random sounds, even though Live was definitely not running anymore. I unplugged Push, checked everything, and every now and then still random harmonies of a dissonant nature.
I was sitting laughing at the whole impossible situation, so absurd, and the first time a crash was enjoyable.
It so happened that when I restarted, so did Firefox which was on a YouTube page with the 47 u-He tutorials by Howard Scarr running in the background, one after the other. I need a break.
