Updating an existing Remote Script
I only signed up last night, but I like the look of your app and the feedback you give your users. After sending this email I am going to go “pro” as it will allow me to “hardwire” the user definable buttons on my MackieMCU into all projects.
I have a MackieMCU and a Push2 hooked up to Ableton. In general the MackieMCU script works well, with two issues:
1. MCU does not “follow” Ableton when Push2 moves the Session box
2. MCU does not move the Session Box when you (using the MCU buttons) move “Fader Bank” or “Select” a track not in the current Session Box. Moving the whole “Fader Bank” by 8 tracks can be done by pressing (left and right) “Bank” or a track at a time “Channel”. Either way pressing these buttons on the Mackie mean you move to tracks which are not “Selected”
……. essentially I want Ableton, Push2 and MCU to always be focusing on the same 8 tracks.
I hope that makes sense.
Questions:
A. Your app does not allow me to amend existing scripts. I understand that would be impossible / difficult for .pyc files but I do have .py files from Julien Bayle’s site http://julienbayle.net/ableton-live-9-midi-remote-scripts/ located here https://github.com/gluon/AbletonLive9_RemoteScripts Is editing existing .py scripts something you are intending to do ?
B. If you are not planning this (or if it isn’t possible) then can I get your app to work by creating a “virtual instrument”….. i.e create a script e.g. “Ians MCU override” put it higher up Ableton’s midi list than the existing Mackie Script with the same midi ports as the MCU ?
The alternative would be to remap the whole of the MackieMCU………. something I really don’t want to do
Thank you

Sorry…… now spelt properly
hanks.
Does that mean that I should be able to make a session box for the MCU using Remotify and make that track the one created by Push2 ?
