I think Max for Live route is the most user friendly way, well I designed a few devices for that which makes it very easy to set this up. Wouldn’t it be great to automate this? Well there are a few ways of doing that: ClyphX MIDI bindings, remote scripts, dummy clip routed via IAC/virtual MIDI connections with automation on their + (un)muting tracks and of course: MAX FOR LIVE. (Yes of course there are ways like having a MIDI / e drum controller which can switch the ‘internal’ MIDI note ‘tuning’ /settings but it depends if your hardware is able to do this.) One solution for automating MIDI mappings in Ableton Live via the “Note To MAP Collection” THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE via Ableton Live native MIDI mapping. If you want a pad to trigger samples and later you want the same pad to control an audio effect. switching to the next scene shouldn’t trigger a sample at the same time.īut this means as well no flexibilty in changing a MIDI mapping. A pad/note triggering some MIDI remote control e.g.

This concept makes sense for most use cases. Once having a pad/button from a MIDI controller mapped, you can’t use this pad/button for triggering sounds. Press or move the button or dial on your external MIDI controllerīUT accessibility comes with limitations here!.Click on the MIDI MAP MODE SWITCH to activate.

How to MIDI MAP your external MIDI controller: This was like magic come true to me, a very basic, straight forward and very accessable concept. Just activate the MIDI MAP mode – everything which lights up blue now is ‘map-able’ – select the parameter you want to map – press your midi controller button (or dial) or hit your electronic drum pad – DONE! Especially in my case with electronic drum gear. It is very easy to set up MIDI control in Ableton Live via external MIDI controller.
