Please can someone help me with the midi setup of my FC-300 to Ableton. I connect my FC-300 via a Roland UM-ONE USB midi interface to my MacBook.
I contacted Ableton support and they said that the FC-300 is not a natively supported Control Surface in Live. They directed me to the "Creating your own Control Surface script" webpage. However I have no idea how to format the UserConfiguration.txt file. Has someone got a copy of this file which is working for their FC-300?

Re: Roland FC-300 midi setup
What are you trying to do? Using the FC-300 in Control mode is dead simple to map pedals to functions using Live’s MIDI mapping.

I am trying to use it to start scenes in Ableton. I was using the "Standard" mode.

Re: Roland FC-300 midi setup
any chance of a tip on how to get this running, please? i've got the RC-300 with a Roland UM-ONE midi interface into a MacBook USB port but ableton doesn't seem to recognise it.stringtapper wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 5:58 pmWhat are you trying to do?

with the RC-300 in "CONTROL" mode and ableton (v11) in midi map mode, hitting the pedals does nothing. previously, i've used the midi mapping function with both an m-audio keyboard and a launchkey without any problems, but there's no "Roland FC-300" to choose from the control surfaces list in the preferences for midi linking, so i'm not sure how to get them talking.
anything you can suggest?

Re: Roland FC-300 midi setup
You're not going to see the FC-300 in the preferences because it can't connect directly via USB. You should see the UM-ONE in the MIDI devices under preferences. That needs to have "Track" selected on its Input section.
