Ableton Forum

Hi Kik07L, Thank you so much for this script!! It is amazing!!!
I am trying to do some modifications however but I am not at all into coding and even with chatgpt I am kinda lost here...

So, what I want to do is to map the SHOW/HIDE BROWSER to F1, map the CLIP VIEW TOGGLE to F2, and the DEVICE VIEW TOGGLE to F3, and the Mixer View Toggle to F4, and the Show/Hide Info view to F5. Is this easy to do? Or have these already been mapped to other buttons on the XTouch?

As I understand now the function buttons are not mapped to anything right?

Maybe the F6-F8 can be mapped to other view related things like open the Help section on the right, or open the groove pool etc... But I first want to get these 5 working somehow Hope you can give me some advice on what program to use to do this, currently trying with autohotkey and midikey2key but its not working at all... Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi, I'm the one currently coding the script (after the initial work by Arthur Montvidas)!

There already are buttons for most of what you want to do. In the latest version, show/hide browser is INPUTS, show bottom pane is AUDIO INST, swapping between clip and device view in the bottom pane is AUX. The DISPLAY button (to the left of the 7-segment displ ay) swaps between Arrangement and Session/Mixer view. Scroll down on the GitHub page for a list of button functions.

Info view is not accessible through the Live API, unfortunately (I just sent in a feature request to Ableton for that and some other functions). Showing/hiding the mixer in Arrangement view isn't either, nor opening the groove pool, as far as I can tell. You could try to rig up something with an external keystroke simulator (since some of those functions do have keyboard shortcuts), but I want to keep the script itself standalone.

F1-F8 will be left for the user to manually MIDI map them to different functions (ctrl+M). Anything in the interface you can click (like buttons on Live devices) can be mapped that way.

There hasn't been a release package of the script for a while but the latest beta version has been very stable in my experience, you can download it by clicking Code (the green button) > Download ZIP. The latest version adds Global SOLO functionality, which I find very handy while mixing.

Wow alright!! Thats amazing!! Thank you for your quick reply and thank you also for all the work you have done for this XTouch script already!!
It is so much better than the original mackey control script, amazing work! Gonna check out what you said if that works for me, if so I will be very happy

After extensive testing, I haven't found any issues with the latest updates, so I've released a new stable version. Download and read the changelog here.

The Global SOLO button is the star of the show here, if I may say so myself. Super convenient, I don't know how I ever lived without it!

If one or more tracks are soloed, the global SOLO button in the Transport section lights up. Press it and all tracks are un-soloed simultaneously. Blinking global SOLO button and track SOLO buttons indicate previously soloed tracks that can be restored by pressing the global SOLO button again. Useful for toggling between full mix and a soloed selection of tracks while mixing!

SOLO to toggle soloing for soloed tracks.
SHIFT + SOLO to reset.

Also: clock mode, fixed exclusive arm, OUTPUT button takes you directly to your Master Track and more.
