launch control xl and multiple mappings

Post by fedbcc » Sun Jun 18, 2023 9:36 am

Hello all,

I would like to control a softsynth (e.g. Drift) in Live with a launch control XL in the following way:

1) in user mode, I have created a user template to control a Drift instance. This works well. For example, I have associated potentiometer 17 (the first in the bottom row) to control the amp attack time using MIDI CC 50 over channel 1 and potentiometer 1 to control the filter cutoff value using MIDI CC 55 over channel 1.

2) during a live performance, I would like to use the bottom row of the potentioments (the only row available to control a device) with the factory template to control different parameters to the ones above. For example, I would like to use potentiometer 17 (the first potentiometer in the bottom row) to control the filter cutoff value using MIDI CC 55 over channel 1.

In this way I would use the user template in 1) while programming a patch, while the factory template in 2) during a live performance.

The possible solutions I have tried:
a) using the dials in the instruments rack, but these do not allow multimapping. If I try to map a potentiometer to a drift parameter, this overrides the mapping in user mode 1).
b) using a chain of midi effects: instrument rack->CC_map8->manual midi mapper. This this setup allows multimapping, but the values in midi mapper override those in the user mode.

Is there a Max for Live devide that could solve the problem above?

Thanks for you help!

Change the midi output channel for the LCxl.
Use Novation Components and select User3, change the midi channel it is sending on from 1 to, 3 or your favorite number between 0-15. Save the template.
Open Ableton and map the various knobs.
So potentiometer 17 channel 01 controls "A"
and potentiometer 17 channel 03 controls "B"
