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

Ian

Sorry I don’t make my self clear.

I don’t think Remotify will do what I need although it is a great tool and I will certainly be using it for other tasks.

I had to resort to reprogramming the Mackie Scripts in Python. What I wanted it to do is make the Mackie “follow” the track selection changes made on screen or on Push2. For example if track 9 is selected (on screen or on Push2) I want the Mackie to shift to Bank 2 (i.e. tracks 9 10 16). That’s done now, although its taken me all day !!!
