I have separate parts in mi live show and would like to use one controller that depending on each part has knobs or faders assigned to different devices. Then passing from one stage to other i would simply give a cue to change to new preset assignment. Do you think is possible?

I’ve looked into this same thing myself when working on my ‘ReasonAble’ patch (a patch allowing you to control Reason from within Live) but I wasn’t able to come up with a solution to have multiple mappings (my main focus was the APC40).

I’ve tried a lot; from trying to create M4L objects on the fly (no go) to using different bpatchers or patchers and turning these “on and off” (basically; adding/removing them from the presentation) and so on.

I eventually resorted to using 1 set of controls and merely changing their descriptions, although I’m still not fully satisfied right now.

Although I think there should be something to make M4L ‘reinit’ the patch so to speak. A bit what’s happening when you go from edit mode back to ‘Live mode’ so to speak.

I do this a lot!! It’s quite easy….

I’ll checl it out and come back to you, do you have some blank example patch or live set you can send me?

I am thinking about a similar problem.
a work around is to switch the MIDI channel of the controller.
but I am missing that the parameters of the encoders jump into the right position. so I am wondering if LIVE has a “bang: send all parameters” message ?
