Launchpad & Nocturn – Instant Track Control Using MIDI Remote Scripts

Sunday, April 25th, 2010


In this video I’ll demonstrate an interesting feature of Ableton: MIDI Remote Scripting. This allows you to use a MIDI controller, in our case the Nocturn, to access the first 8 Controls of a focused Device in Ableton. This is a similar feature to the Track Control section on the Akai APC40. You can read more about it here: nckn.de & here: createdigitalmusic.com I’ve uploaded the edited script and Automap Settings here: www.sendspace.com As I mention in the video, being able to instantly access Device Controls is fantastic when working in the studio, however I prefer hard mapped controls when performing so I know what’s what.

Novation Launchpad programming experiments

Friday, April 2nd, 2010


Just got this new toy yesterday! The Novation Launchpad is supposed a dedicated controller for Ableton Live but it has a MIDI protocol that lets you switch the leds on and off and receive button presses. I am working in Visual C++ here with the Windows MIDI API to make a “breakout” game animation and an interactive step sequencer which sends midi note messages via MIDI YOKE to Reason.. first mapped to Redrum then to a Subtractor bass patch. Very quick experiments! Download it for yourself hotchk155.blogspot.com
