Change mode of a midi controller with a different controller

I have had a browse but not clear if the following is possible:

Basically I would like to press a button on a midi controller which then changes the active mode on a different midi controller.

So either two scripts communicating with eachother, or two controllers in one script.

If not possible then I guess I could have a dummy knob/toggle in Live which I activate with one controller. The second controller then listens to this knob with reactions and changes it’s mode acordingly.

Thanks for the help.

Ok thanks! Yeah i’m experienced with Max so that should be no problem. It would also act as a central point of control I could activate with the mouse etc.

I will post my project when it’s all working as there’s plenty of midi weirdness and custom hardware going on.

Hi @Seth – did you ever get anywhere with this? I have the exact same situation and can’t find a resolution. I’m not great with Max so can’t build myself a device to get around the problem, and can’t find any way of tricking Ableton into thinking 2 devices are the same controller. According to one comment I’ve found on some forum it should be possible using Python, but I wouldn’t have the faintest idea where to start with that!
