Endless encoder
Hi,
For a dance project I am currently working on, I am trying to create a « true endless knob » . The show is 360° (using L acoustics L-ISA software) and musicians need to have hands on control over the Pan of individuals instruments coming into Live.
In Ableton, regardless of how I set up my controller and the midi mapping modes, my 360 pan is stuck at max and min value. My goal is to change the behavior of the controller so when the value reach 127 it is not stuck but jumps to the value 0 and can keep on increasing. And same thing the other way around.
Do you think it can be done with CSS ?
If someone could give me some hint on how to do this, it will be greatly appreciate !
Thanks !
Pablo
Note : I am using a Midi Fighter Twister
Hi Pablo,
Endless encoders are usually ‘relative’ meaning they don’t send values from 0 to 127 like an ordinary knob does. They will send a single continuously when turning left and another continuously when turning right.
This is set within the midi controller’s firmware (in the case of the twister, using the MIDI Fighter Utility software).
Control Surface Studio doesn’t alter the actual MIDI data being sent by a MIDI Controller, it simply attaches Ableton specific functionality to those MIDI messages.
I hope that helps.
