Ableton Forum

Love the Push 2 in the studio, but it's totally drops the ball for live use for me.

For a live perfomance, you don't want to be digging through menus or unfolding things to get to parameters.

For each track in a set, you usually just want a set few tweak able things, but in practice those things are spread out over individual tracks, sends, mixer, master bus etc. So you can't do it with Macros.

The User page seems like it was designed for more freedom, but no visual feedback! like... what?

I know Ableton has released some details on the Push internal workings and some smart cookies are starting to leverage more possibilities.

So, is anyone aware of any Push 2 mod/hack/script etc that will allow the session view as usual, but allow me to map whatever global parameters I chose to the top encoders and buttons?

The most important requirement here is Visual feedback. I want the encoders to display what they are mapped to like with Macros or anything else.
With long sets, its hard to always remember what you've mapped to a bunch of black encoders and a black lcd for each song.

Cheers.

....almost but there's no visual representation what the encoders are mapped to which is the same problem as normal user mode.


Preditor 2(https://isotonikstudios.com/product/pre ... g-utility/)

.... looks promising, but its only a way to remap controls from a single track. According to authors 'No this is not what PrEditor does.'

So, anything I may have missed?

What about a Max 4 Live device on the master track which is capable of controlling things anywhere in a set? Like Sixteen Macros for example.
