Ok unless im wrong there is a problem with ableton relative generic mappings
The txt file is the script
The instructions are right except for the folder name
That whole folder goes in the hidden app data folder in directory User Remote Scripts
Contained in the User Remote Scripts directory is this ableton help file
InstantMappings HowTo
=====================
With the file 'UserConfiguration.txt'provided in
this directory, you can create your own Instant
Mappings.
Note: Since this mechanism relies on the scripts
added for Live 6, you can solely map the given
functions to your Control Surface. You can neither
add functions nor can you change the banks of
device parameters.
1. Create a directory in 'User Remote Scripts'.
The name of the directory will show up in the
list of Control Surfaces in Live.
Naming: The name of the directory should not
start with '_' or '.'.
2. Copy the the file 'UserConfiguration.txt' into
your directory. The name of the file needs to
remain unchanged.
3. Edit the copy to adapt it to your needs. The
comments in the file will tell you what to do.
So in the video and tutorial names a folder Arturia Minilab which is really Script_for_Ableton_Live_on_firmware_Version_2_1_0_1 (as is says above you can name it what you want apart from starting characters listed)
I followed the video and pdf tutorial you need to be able to see hidden files and admin rights to access the folder
Track level controls mapped OK
808 pads mapped OK
Operater ADSL mapped OK
Operater osc select mapped OK
Then i have a problem COARSE only moved from 0.5 to 1
Fine level and velocity worked ok
This is controller 5 cc 77 vibr
On the default factory relative preset map 2 from prerelease mmc current firmware
Analog doesnt map correctly either
I dont believe this is an issue that can be fixed with this way of scripting in relative i tried
You can map other synths to relative but analog just doesnt function correctly so i gave up
I believe this is an issue with ableton generic mapping being some controls work some dont
The most efficent way to map i found is using abletons midi map without the script and make sure your in
absolute on your minilab preset and on the control (a drop menu box at the bottem )
To map a single control is simple
Select the absolute preset on the mini lab (dont forget encoder 9 could still be is relative you can check it and change it in mcc)
Right click the control to select the menu
Select edit midi map
Operate the control on the minilab (the ableton manual says turn slowly to the left to detect)
It will display a cc in the top right hand corner browser
Make sure your in the correct encoder mode absolute in the drop down menu at the bottom
Right click and deselect midi map
That single controller is now mapped
Heres a short video http://youtu.be/jjnfHkjRgLY (http://youtu.be/jjnfHkjRgLY)
There is also a take over mode for absolute i have not tried it you can read about it in the ableton manual
Hope this helps
