Ableton's own automapping is what's complicated.Īnd have you write to them to tell them what was going on to see if there is any workaround,me i dunno the vx5 yet enough to know if there is such possibilities and the manual is like hyeroglyphe to me,there is nothing very useful in it,i would like just create a bank of assigned preset ine one button to be able to swap live with them,i hope that will be easier when i will get the apc40 and i will use the keyboard just as one and not as a midi controller then,well good luck in your song making you shall have and.Ĩbliss wrote:Before I got the Akai MPK61, I had a CME UF5 & mpd24. That's why getting the 8 encoders to control track panning without having to map them by hand every time is kind of difficult. What's complicated is setting up Ableton Live automaping which involves writing scripts. How can I make this happen? Besides this, the feel of the MPK61 w/ Live is a dream.ĭentaku wrote:Actually, the MPK series DO have presets that you can change on the hardware itself (using the little LCD screen) that customizes it to certain VSTs or DAWs and you can build your own presets and send them to the MPK using Vyzex. The APC 20/40 & other controllers claim to do track pans. This is all very frustrating, it has been extremely easy for me in the past to set up global pans with other programs, Reason, Tracktion,etc. What? Wouldn't it have a different midi note for each knob? If so, what are they. the closest I found is this:īut it just says "Pan = midi note 42". But I can't find a clear "how to" anywhere. I also herd of programming a controller to act as Mackie Control. I looked/tried the "User Remote Scripts" to create my own, but sadly there are no "pans" on the list. I have 3 banks for the knobs, so pans on one bank & encoders on another, would be a beautiful set up. But as is (with mpk49 template), it only acts as effect encoders. I'd LOVE to use the knobs on my MPK61 as track pans. Please help! I only use my mpk61 in the studio.
