Can "Ableton MIDI remote control" and M4L midiin coexist?

Post by jaschanarveson » Tue Jun 17, 2025 1:04 am

Hi,

I'd love to be able to *both* map controls from my MIDI controller to Live the usual way *and* be able to access the incoming MIDI with the [midiin] object in a M4L device.

I have read the manual and it states that "MIDI remote control" takes the CC for itself and doesn't let it do other things, but... is there a way to do this anyway? Any sneaky work-arounds?

Specs:

Macbook Air M1 (2021)
OS 14.7.4
Live Beta 12.2b.18
Max 8

Thanks in advance!

Maybe you can try the pxspr midi objects (formerly imp.midi) and directly access the control surface midi out ?
