Thanks for this tutorial! Do you now if there is a setting to map a knob from a Midi controller to a parameter and only sending Midi data (controlling the parameter) if the track is selected or the track is rec armed or the plugin gui is in focus? Maybe with a Max for Live script?
This is exactly what I'm wondering... As I'd like to control multiple synths with the same knobs knobs ONLY if I have track in focus/armed. For ex, track 3 with spire selected, cut off knob on controller ONLY controlling that portion. Selecting track 4 with vital and using that same cut off knob and controlling only the cut off of vital. How can I achieve this? Using the Arturia 88 MKII
Is there a way to map and sequence the record arm selection? For example, for live jams, my main MIDI controller plays through what ever synth is armed. I want that synth to change every 8 bars (for example) . So the drums, bass, backing etc all stay them same, yet the synth I am controlling for lead lines changes to a different synth at the end of 8 bars automatically. I know record arm can be controlled via MIDI mapping, but I can only get it to change which track is armed via a MIDI note-in from my controller at the moment (or a tedious mouse-click). I want to be able to sequence this (create a record-arm selection clip) so it automatically changes which track is armed from this pre-recorded clip and I don’t have to press a key every 8 bars to change which synth my leads are playing through when playing live. Thanks!
I need help in this case. I don't know why but that blue hand suddenly disappeared and is no longer "above" my selected plugin. Has anyone a solution for this?!
Newbie question.... How do I load drum wav files and use this to assign buttons on launchpad to use button I choose to play each different drum sound please
Thank you for these fantastic tutorials! I have a doubt about one thing regarding midi mapping. I have ableton live 10.1 and I'm about to buy a midi keyboard (oxygen pro). According to the specs this keyboard has premapped daw controls. If i go to preferences>midi, obviously there's no 'control surface' for the oxygen pro becouse it was relased one month ago; so will this affect the funcionality of the keyboard or not?
No, you can use MIDI map mode to map controls to wherever you like! These premapped controls are just preset mappings for time saving, so no functionality should be affected :-) - Check our guide to MIDI controllers here. www.musictech.net/guides/buyers-guide/the-best-keyboard-controllers-to-buy/
@@MusicTechOfficial so for example, the dedicated buttons for arming tracks on ableton will work even if I can't tell ableton that I'm using the oxygen pro?
@@rollelagrange5708 If those buttons output MIDI and you map them to the arm controls in Ableton, yes. You need to check that all buttons output MIDI CC's
@@MusicTechOfficial yes I know that I can map controls manually, what I'm trying to say is that in this keyboard there are premapped "multifunctional" daw buttons...for example you can toggle the arm button to be a arm,solo, select ecc... The doubt i have is if this will work even if i don't put the 'control surface' (becouse i have no option on live 10.1). I woudn't know how to manually map these "multifuncional" button....maybe i just have to buy the keyboard and find out?😕
@@rollelagrange5708 You just need to find out if those DAW buttons output MIDI, if so then you're fine. Check with the manufacturer. They probably just output different MIDI CC's depending on the function you select, so then you just remap those controls to your preference.
Though i did a lot of research, i still dont have a solution for the following issue: I have an mpkmini2 and wanna use my 8 knobs on 4 different programs (so 32 knobs in total). Pickup mode is active and initially everything is working fine. But as soon as i switch programs an come back to a program the pickup mode isnt working anymore. Is anyone familiar and even has a solution for this problem?
@@wokeil set everything up as you so wish. Then save as 'template' or anything you wish to call the save file. Then everytime you start ableton, start with the said save file.
For those scratching their heads, all these mappings are just per session. Everything is lost when you open a new session. Its incredible that Ableton after all these years haven't sort this out. Same with 2-way macro mapping. So annoying that after assign a macro it's not possible to move the knob that was assign with the mouse or another controller.
The best tutorial ever about the subject! Deep and concise! Learned a lot! Thank you very much!
Great tips and awesome production quality!

just what I was looking for. Thank you
Thanks for the tutorial. I was trying to figure out how to change my mod wheel into something else.
am i able to save mappings for the next session??
Thanks, didn’t know a lot of these tricks....... I do now 👍🙏

Great video, thanks.
Does anyone know how to make a midi controller only affect whatever plugin is in focus, instead of all of them at the same time??
Did you figure it out?
@@temkox I haven't unfortunately. I'll let you know if I do
@@stripedelicstudios hey, do you have by any chance an Arturia minilab?
great video, super helpful
Glad it was helpful!

how do you map the pitch reset to a button for impulse/drum rack?
Hi, If i record will it then automate the modulation for me as I played it?
How can I midi map my modulation and expressions control???
Thank you for these fantastic tutorials!

HOW DO YOU SAVE THE MIDI MAPPIN?' EVERY TIME I OPEN A NEW PROJECT I HAVE TO REMAP EVERYTHING
That's why I came to this video :/
I have the same Problem. there should be a way to save the mapping?
options save as a template
@@wokeil set everything up as you so wish. Then save as 'template' or anything you wish to call the save file. Then everytime you start ableton, start with the said save file.
So for instance I can't map an undo button to a launchpad x huh?
For those scratching their heads, all these mappings are just per session.
Everything is lost when you open a new session.
Its incredible that Ableton after all these years haven't sort this out. Same with 2-way macro mapping.
So annoying that after assign a macro it's not possible to move the knob that was assign with the mouse or another controller.
absolute quailty
Is there someone who does not have an accent.
