Ableton Browser navigation using hardware
Is there a way to scroll through your library of files then load it to the desired clip (if MIDI or audio) or a channel (if .als project file) using a hardware MIDI Controller instead of a keyboard & mouse? For example I have a Traktor F1 controller that has a rotary knob which you can also push as a button, 4 faders and lots of other buttons. Is it possible to map/script this for that function using Remotify? Many Thanks
This should be possible with the upcoming update to the Reactions mapping type (version 2) which is on its way very soon.
Hi Sunny,
Reactions 2 is currently in Beta. I can confirm that it has options for navigation within the browser.
Yes it works with Live 10 + 11
Hi John,
Been experimenting with creating device hotswap/browser scroll controls with reactions. Am able to browse to my preset but wondering if it is possible to send a ‘load’ instruction from the midi device, rather than having to access my computer keyboard? Thanks
Hello,
I also tried to do that about a week or two ago and I got stranded at the same spot. I can not find a listener for loading a preset into a track or device.
It would be really cool if, one day, that was possible, 🙂
Hi Ben,
First, using a ‘Reaction’ for opening the browser to the current preset,
Action: ‘Live Object Model’ -> ‘Application’ -> ‘toggle browse’
And then some ‘Reactions’ for navigating:
Action: ‘Live Object Model’ -> ‘Application’ -> ‘scroll view’
Sadly, I have not found a way yet to open that new selected preset or device.
Maybe someone has an idea?
