Ableton Drum Rack + external MIDI Controller to control selected cells only…?
Trying to map an external MIDI controller with about 8-32 knobs (8-32 different MIDI CC values) to a couple of Macros that control a couple of parameters of Simpler instances within Druck Rack cells, but I want to do it in a flexible way: the goal is to map to something like Attack, Decay, Sample Length, Freq, Res, etc, but to only ever control those parameters for the SELECTED cells/pads!
Any ideas? Push is able to do this, so it should be possible?
Yes, what you're looking to achieve is indeed possible and is a common approach for creating dynamic and flexible MIDI mappings within Ableton Live, especially when using devices like Ableton Push. Your goal to control parameters like Attack, Decay, Sample Length, Frequency, Resonance, etc., for only the selected cell/pad in a Drum Rack can be achieved through the use of MIDI Remote Scripts, Max for Live, or third-party MIDI mapping software that supports dynamic MIDI mapping.
Thanks! Currently looking into Ableton Remote Scripts.
