Ableton Forum

is there an Ableton M4L plugin that allows you to view the effects units on multiple channels simultaneously?

Scenario: I am performing a multi track audio live set triggering audio stems and loops.

I have a separate set of mid channels which are generating DMX data, triggered by enevelope followers on the audio channels. These channels have instruments and effects on them which control my lighting rig.

I want to give my Lighting Designer real-time access to my Ableton set during the performance and for him to have his own midi controller which can tweak the parameters of the lighting instruments effects. I've read that you can link two laptops together with an ethernet cable so he would be running Ableton on his own laptop linked to my set.

For this setup to work effectively, he needs to be able to view all the lighting instruments and effects across four or so midi channels simultaneously. Would it be possible to create an M4 L plug-in that allows or facilitates this?

I just did a seach it and it seems there are no M4L plugins or Ableton workaround existing that would show more than one channels plugins.

Thanks

If the need is to see every parameters being controlled from several tracks simultaneously, the easiest solution would probably be using something like the Map8 device which is basically a 8-macros rack which can be mapped anywhere in the set.

I made this device some times ago. Maybe it can help you. It allows to transform the send knobs of a track (dummy or not) tto control anything. So you can see lots of parameters in sessions view along several tracks..
