Controlling ableton with the denon DN-SC 2000
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 3:41 pm
Hello and thanks for reading this
I have been trying to map my denon dn sc 2000 controller to do basic functions with live, and max for live.
The trouble I have with it is the knob encoders on the controller are endless, incremental ones- ie they click in increments,
clockwise value of 0 (whatever they cc is) and anticlockwise value of 127. when you remote map it to live's native plugins it works ok-ish
when set to relative signed-bit, however control is far from subtle (only thirteen clicks would get you from far left to far right).
Hope this explains it clear enough).
What I would like to do is assign an encoder to live api functions within max, for example what I wanted to do is a simple track previous/next select using
the encoder- it is quite nice to actually have it click for this purpose- as you know how many tracks you just moved (hope I'm still making sense).
I did a simple max patch where I used the object == 127 and == 0 routed to the live button so it would bang it in either direction, however I ran into a problem-
it would only do it for one click. The second click isn't registered for some reason. so I can only go to the right and then to the left- I can't continue going left-left.
Looking at live's interface I can see they yellow light signaling midi messages but it just won't take two cc messages (like cc 93 value 0) in a row.
Any ideas where am I going wrong??
Any help would be muh appreciated!!!
Thanks again
