Assigning macro without loosing individual parameter control

Post by ratafia50 » Tue Feb 10, 2015 11:55 pm

I love Ableton, with max4live and ClyphX scripts, but I really miss something important : the ability to assign parameters to a macro, and to keep control on those parameters, even with the ability to assign them to other macros. It would be a plus to assign those parameters in a relative way, like in Bitwig, Kontakt, or like morph groups in the Nord G2. And, the ability to add memory of that macro would also be nice. Could max4live be useful to find a transformation of Ableton's behavior?

Since the automation sends values to parameters, wouldn't it be possible to make a sort of instant automation. Or a dummy clip that wouldn't be played in time with the sequencer. It could be read dynamically, I mean it would be controlled by a knob, from its beginning till its end, without any timing, just the position of the knob. At 0, it would be at its beginning, at 127, at its end, and between those values, it would be in a relative position... forward or backward, exactly how we tweak the knob. It would leave free the parameters when we don't move the knob. But maybe this is really impossible with ?

Thank you for your opinion

Can one assign macros to modulation envelopes? That would do it...
