MIDI Map using sysex messages
Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2024 8:49 am
I am hoping to figure out a way to use my Roland PG-1000 programmer as a control surface in Ableton Live. I do see the MIDI Track In Indicator (to the far right in the control bar) light up any time I move a fader, but I am unable to assign any of the faders to a control when I enable MIDI Mapping mode. I am using my Push 3 as a MIDI interface and I have the output from the programmer's MIDI OUT going into Push's MIDI IN. I have also enabled remote control for the Push 3 Input port in Live's settings.
It seems to be the case that Live only supports sysex data in Max for Live devices in versions 10 and 11. If this is so, then why is the MIDI Track In Indicator lighting up when I move one of the faders on my controller? It certainly seems as if Live detects the MIDI signal (containing sysex data) from this controller.
Is there any way that I can take the MIDI signal received by Live and make it useable in MIDI Mapping mode, using a Max for Live device or otherwise?
If Live detects the MIDI signal with sysex messages, and each fader's sysex message is unique, then one might hope that it wouldn't take too much effort to map one of these signals to a parameter in Live. It would be really great to use these 50+ faders in Live!
