How to activate a custom MIDI Remote script in Ableton Live

After generating your script into Ableton Live and restarting it. To activate your custom script in your Ableton Live, do the following:

In Ableton Live, go to preferences > MIDI.

In the control surface column, open a select list and find your script.

All scripts created by Control Surface Studio are prefixed with “css_”.

For example, if you named your script “My first Script”, it will be named “css_my_first_script” in Ableton Live’s preferences.

This ensure that the default midi remote scripts are not overwritten.

After selecting your script, then select the MIDI Controller/keyboard from the Input and output select lists on the same row.

Then for the MIDI ports options below, set ‘track’ and ‘remote’ to ‘on’ for your MIDI Controller/keyboard’s input and output.

Note: whenever you make changes to your script, Ableton Live will need to be restarted in order to see the changes.
