Ableton Forum

[EDIT] NEVERMIND...I see that Ableton automatically handles the transfer of mappings. You would think after using Ableton for years now I would've known that...

Maybe I'm missing something somewhere but most of what I'm finding with my google fu is tuts on how to make one-knob effects and just map things to macros in general. I'm curious as to whether I can actually transfer all the mappings from one knob to another knob within the same group of eight, say if I had a knob already all mapped out with some complex mappings and ranges set, but I decided I wanted to move it to another knob because I decided to add a new macro mapping and have them arranged in a logical work flow.

Specifically, and this is a simple example but it just got me thinking about this as a possible feature - I have a delay time mapping to the first macro and the second macro is mapped to the root note of a resonator. I want to move the root note macro one knob over so I can now map the sync/time selector to the macro knob immediately next to the delay time knob and keep my delay modulation knobs all grouped together. In this case there's not a lot of mapping going on...in fact I've now spend more time trying to find a workaround than it would've taken me to just redo it already lol... but in more complex cases it would really be a pain to redo everything from scratch.

Just group the original rack and then macro map the top level to the second level in the order you want it...

True, but that's a less "elegant" solution and could lead to more clutter if you had to do it a lot..

In this case it didn't really matter because I had one thing mapped and when you map to another macro it keeps the ranges intact. Easy. But even still if you have a really complex set of mappings to multiple parameters you'd have to either go through and hunt them down one-by-one (which is error prone) or nest it in a larger rack like you mentioned - but a copy/paste or transfer option would be nice.

Alchemystic, I'm trying to find a solution to your problem. Your edit says Ableton "automatically handles the transfer of mappings"? Where and how does it do that?

Anyone found a solution to this one?
