Hi all, been working with the universal script to program my controller with Ableton. Is there a way to control devices placed on sends and the master channel? In the midi chart it’s just showing devices on tracks. The idea is to have knobs control macros of effects devices that effect the whole or partial mix.
Thx,
Edit: I used the spare midi channel 12 to map these controls with-in Live, I’m assuming this is right way to go about it?
I also noticed that the transport controls don’t all seem to respond to their value to color in the script.
Play works
Stop seems to always mirror the color of play
Record, loop, tap tempo, all seem to only respond to the Default button class rather than whats listed in the Transport class
Hi @andrewtarpinian,
Let me explain i bit what is possible and we take it from there:
There are 3 ways to control devices with the script, you can:
1- Control a specific device on a specific track
This is the one you are using and indeed you can’t target a send or the master track.
2- Control a specific device on the selected track
This works together with the clip launcher, if the box sits on top of sends, you can control the devices inside. Does not work for the master.
3- Control the selected device on the selected track (blue hand)
This will work on tracks, sends, and the master.
Look for this bit to navigate between devices and other device goodies.
To select the master track is this bit
You could also mix some functionality of the script with a manual midi mapping.
Edit: I used the spare midi channel 12 to map these controls with-in Live, I’m assuming this is right way to go about it?
Yes, that’s right. Channels 12, 13, and 14 are not in use within the script.
I also noticed that the transport controls don’t all seem to respond to their value to color in the script.
Play works
Stop seems to always mirror the color of play
Record, loop, tap tempo, all seem to only respond to the Default button class rather than whats listed in the Transport class
- I would include click in this but I don’t think that actually has a separate MonoColor designation like the others.
Yep, we are aware of that one. We will fix it in the next update.
Thanks Ale, the additional manual midi mapping works well. And understood on the transport controls, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going crazy… All in all the combo of the control script and Kilowatt work well so thanks for providing it!
Hello, I am using Universal Script with a Yaeltex Live15. I attempted to use MIDI Mapping in Ableton Live 10 to have the encoders control devices on my sends & master
Is it possible to use the Universal Script but also to override a few things with MIDI Mapping?
OK Now I am working in Kilowhat
However, I downloaded Live15 Default Configuration from the server and sent it to my device, and now the YURS no longer works as it should in Ableton Live 10
Is the Live15 Default configuration up-to-date on the server?
Hi @jtriozzi! Welcome to the forum.

Yes, using the script and map by hand is possible, the trick is to avoid using the same MIDI message in both. So, set the channels on the components you want to map by hand on channels 12, 13, and 14 (like the encoders on banks 2, 3, and 4 on your Live 15) which are not used in the script, and use those to map the things you want by hand. That way you avoid conflicts between the two.

I have sent you the default configuration by email.
Hi everyone. Im having the same issue but MIDI mapping is not working or the script either. Im not sure what im doing wrong.
I want to assign a button to activate or deactivate an FX rack device within the master track.
Im not able to do this via kilowhat, the script or MIDI mapping directly. I was able to set up the script and kilowhat to assign a button to select the MASTER track.
But the button set to turn on/off the FX rack is turning on/off the 1st device on the B return.
Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve found a quick fix for the bug you reported and would like you to test it.
Please follow these steps:
mono_mixer file in the script folder with the attached file.This is a preliminary fix, so please thoroughly test it before using it in any live situations.
We are also conducting internal testing and plan to include this fix in our next update.

Hi Ale,
Folowed all your instructions and the fix worked. Now the assigned button is turning ON/OFF the selected track first device. In this case the MASTER.
Thanks so much for your help!
