Problem switching modes
Hi newbie user here.
I am building a midi controller using an Arduino.
I am trying to switch modes using a single button and mode loop using the ‘select mode’ option.
Ableton receives a Midi message, but only Mode 1 can be selected successfully.
Clicking the button to scroll to Modes 2 & 3 gives the error message ‘snapping is off for this control: check min/max values’, in the Ableton message box. Then when I scroll through to Mode 1, it selects correctly.
I have checked the min/max values for all three modes and they are all the same, set to the default setting.
It’s probably something simple but any fixes or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Sam,
Thanks for uploading the script, I’ve figured it out 🙂
For each Tempo mapping, make sure ‘snapping’ is turned on. (Mode 2 tempo, snapping is currently off in your script).
This message which you have been seeing… ‘snapping is off for this control: check min/max values’
Is happening because you have different tempo ranges set in each mode…
If the tempo is currently at 128 bpm for example and you switch to Mode 2, turning you’re Tempo knob will do nothing because the tempo range is limited to 333bpm – 666bpm.
But! if you turn snapping on then the tempo will jump to within the defined 333bpm – 666bpm range and you can control it.
