Hi all!

I have tried to reach this parameter using reactions but i can’t find a way to do it..

My ableton project is very simple. I have 1 track with a drumrack on it.

Now i want to be able to control the level of send a of the first chain in that drumrack using a midi controller that outputs values 0-127.

I tried this using a reaction with ‘midi controller is moved’ as a listener.

The reaction itself is:

self.song().tracks[0].devices[0].chains[0].mixer_device.sends[0].value = self.get_value_from_ranges(False, 128, False, 15, 0, 127, 0, 0, 1, 2, False)

I allready spent over 3 hours getting it to work, browsing the forums and asking chatgpt, but no luck so far.

I was using clyphx before and that was working fine to achieve this..

Firstly you need to set the ‘current input value’ to the knob/encoder’s current value, or else the input value will never change meaning the knob will never move.
Example: midi controller > current velocity values > knob 1’s latest velocity value
The output rand for these sends goes from 0.0 to 1.0 so set those appropriately.
See my screenshot below of the full ‘get value from ranges’ settings.

I believe your path selection is correct for selecting the first send in the first device (rack) on the first track.
