I've just tried it. Couple of things to note.

Midi map mode is the MIDI button top right of Ableton.

Make sure you have "Track" enabled in Preferences/Midi of Ableton for the TR8s otherwise Ableton won't map it.

Hi Dreary.
I use the device in Automap mode so there is no setup required.

However if you want to map the drum machine to it directly you need to activate the midi map mode in Ableton.

The theory then is simple

1. Move a knob/slider on the device and then move a knob/slider on the TR8S next and they will then be mapped.

2. Reoeat step one for each knob/slider.

3. Save your project so you don't have to repeat this each time you load up.

If you are still struggling I will make a video and upload it to youtube to explain in more depth. Please let me know

Chris I have just been playing with this more in depth and can now see what you mean. The original device was not passing midi notes created in the DAW.

I believe that I have fixed this now and have uploaded ver 1.1 which now works for me.

Please let me know if it now works as you would expect.

Thanks for your patience, this is my first ever device.

Hi
I'm hoping someone else can comment and see if we can solve this issue.

The device I made uses a new object for M4L called Live.banks.
This object allows any of the parameters to be available to the rotary knobs of my Novation SL Mk3 in Banks of eight when my SL Mk3 is in "Incontrol" mode.

The theory (I believe) is the same for any other midi controller that is capable of utilisng the live.banks object that I'm told is new in Live 10. So it should work with any of the Novation devices that have automap and should work fine with Push etc.

Just out of interest, which version of Live are you running?

Jamie

thanks so much for making this. Ableton has been driving me mad trying to record Automation in arrangement view is far too painful and now this device has made it a Breeze.

I quickly mapped all the tr8s knobs to your device and it works like a charm. Your efforts are really very much appreciated.

Jamie

Ryan

Thanks very much for clarifying that.

Thanks again for your efforts, I use this device all the time to control my TR8.

Jim

Thanks for this great Device.

My one tip for others using this device. Don't turn the sound on for each instrument output when you are setting it up. Otherwise you'll be left with a heavily amplified drum machine where the sounds is 12 repeats of the same sound. Just turn the output of the Bassdrum on.

Ok can anyone assist?

How do you use the effects and the Accent?
I think I am missing something very simple. Can somoene please explain what you do to turn the reverb on on just the Snare for example?

And how do you make the accent work? thanks in advance.

My TR8 has the latest firmware installed and I can use the scatter ok and can change drumkits.
