    Ableton MIDI Output Device parameter change to Madmapper

    by one11exo » Thu Feb 11, 2021 5:24 pm

    Hey guys =)

    I've been trying to send device parameter change to Madmapper from Ableton without success.

    Current setup:
    - Windows OS
    - Using Midi Loopback properly configured in Ableton (output) and Madmapper (Input)
    - I can get notes to trigger MM effects by having a dedicated Midi channel with a Midi TO set to the midi loopback created
    - Ableton Link enabled and working on both Ableton and Madmapper (ASIO drivers)

    What I'm trying to get to is that when I move one of the macro knob, which is tied to an instrument device (see attached picture), I want it to send a Midi CC to Madmappe.

    Example result would be to get an increased opacity of a madmapper material relative to the "drive" macro in ableton

    many thanks!

    I think you have to assign a midi control on your macro knob and use that same midi control in madmapper.
    Or use a max4live to emit midi cc from a marco knob.
    Macro knobs in Ableton Live don't send midi as far as I recall.
    I might be wrong tho'

    Hey Franz ;)
    thx for the reply

    I'll test the step before then - how do you even send a midi event from a midi track that already have an instrument (thus removing the "midi to" box) - I was hoping that in the general MIDI settings, since I'm using a midi loopback in Ableton OUT and Madmapper IN would work but somehow it's as if Madmapper is receiving no MIDI requests at all :/ *stumped*

    Booya - I've found something that works quite easily (thx for putting me on the right track Franz)

    - Need Ableton MAX for live connection pack
    https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/connec ... x_for_live

    - Add "OSC Send" After any instrument on a MIDI track
    - Set port to match Madmapper

    Done. even with Macro knobs. Can't believe how easy that was.
