I’ve got my PO16 and EF44 mapped in Ableton, but often when I start up a project the parameters in Ableton are in the wrong place and jump when a pot/slider is first moved.
Is there some way to have the positions of all pots and sliders sent to Ableton on project startup, so hardware and software are in perfect alignment?
You can use a code block on the ‘Init’ page for each element that uses the midi_send() function to send the current value of its respective element. Anything on the ‘Init’ tab gets run when the module boots up.
However, it’s just easier to use Ableton’s MIDI takeover features so that parameters in Ableton don’t respond to incoming MIDI messages until the values line up.
Thanks. Great, this spurs me on to invest in learning the customisation then. I have a vision for lots more pot and slider modules, so MIDI takeover is less appealing than an automatic init button.
You could have also a script for it in case you need to update controls manually (on the fly) , I love to use the UTILITY BUTTON to other things than changing pages, you can randomize values and send them to MIDI, just to mention an example.
Cheers
That’s a brilliant idea. Might try that, pretty elegant.
