Ableton Forum

Hi,

It would be great to be able to draw CC automation on a lane in the arrangement view for control of parameters of external synths. Currently this is only available within the clip Envelope View.

Please consider for a potential future update.

It would, but in the meantime there's a Max object called control change 8 which gives you 8 automatable macros which you can then map to whichever CCs you like. I use it all the time to control hardware synths from MIDI controllers.

The thing I like about M4L is, if there is something you wish Ableton would do, quite often someone has thought the same and built a Max device to do it.
