switching tracks + arming them
Hi. I’m wanting to select and arm a track to a next or prev instrument with my akai ewi 4000s wind controller with live. i have 2 buttons on the side of the ewi that send midi cc numbers. i would like to hit the 1st button for a previous track+arm and the second button for a next track+arm so i can quickly select the next instrument in my track list and be able to play it upon selection. I use Reason 11 and just bought live a week ago. In reason this was a simple midi learn situation. then just click up and down a list of instruments with the 2 ewi 4000s momentary buttons and the track would automatically change+armed itself for instant use when selected. i just want that in ableton. if i understand your checklist then i need to buy the control surface studio to achieve this. right? i really only would like to do only this but in time id like to also setup my KMI softstep 2 midi foot controller to control more aspects of live too to help me loop from my feet. but, any instructions on how to do this would be appreciated. thanks for your time and i hope i posted in the right spot. 🙂
im using…
windows 10
live 10 suite

motu 624 audio interface
Hi,
From the error messages it sounds like you have setup a reaction condition incorrectly.
This line: if (self.midi_cc_ch_0_val_99 == ):
I would recommend deleting your reactions first and make sure you can get a script working first.
Just have the 2 navigation buttons in your script and install that that into live.
Check that it shows up in Live’s preferences and then check that your 2 buttons move the track highlight.
Once you have that working you can then move onto adding the reactions. Going one step a time is best 🙂
