MAP8 Ableton Remote Script

This is my modification to the ROTO_CONTROL Ableton Live Control Script. This is setup so you can rename the device to whatever and it will still use the hardware mapping for RotoMap16.

Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDI1UBHr-w8

This adds several features:

  • Improves the automapping of Instrument Racks
  • Adding “_Step2-24” or “_Center” to the suffix of a parameter name in an instrument rack will make that knob have step or centered haptics.
  • If a M4L device has a parameter that starts with “RotoMap_” than it will map to the device mapping for the suffix. Thus I could make a variation of RotoMap16 or any device and have it use the same hardware mapping, ex, “RotoMap_RotoMap16” would use my hardware RotoMap16.json layout.
  • If you collapse devices they are not visible when holding the SEL button to navigate the chain which makes it easier to navigate complex chains or hide help map devices.

Here is a variation of Map8 called Map16 which has 16 macros. https://github.com/Quixotic7/Q7RotoControlMappings/blob/main/M4LDevices/RotoMap16.amxd

LLM Disclosure: I used Codex in the creation of this mapping.
