MIDI CC TO ABLETON MACRO
Hello, I am VERY surprised I cant find this anywhere so I'm starting to think its impossible. I want to use the CC out information from XFER LFO tool or CABLEGUY MIDISHAPER to control Ableton macros. I am aware of and know how to use SHAPER MIDI and LFO and SHAPER on Ableton but they are lacking in some features.
I need: CC -> MACRO
Is it possible? Is it difficult? Would someone charge me for it?
I believe you want midi loopback.
send the midi out of live's track, into the IAC driver, and set the IAC driver as a remote input so you can midimap the CC to whatever you want
if you're using a PC you need https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html which IME will stop passing midi once in a blue moon and need to be reinstalled.
you could also skip midi loopback and instead modify the map8 m4l device to take in midi CC
