Ableton Forum

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.
