Thread: Any Ableton Live experts feel like helping me map my midi control surface?

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by -m-
I'm running Live 7 with a Novation Nio 2/4 and a Evo UC-33. I downloaded a project that I'm using as my prototype dj set and I can't seem to map this thing for the life of me. The software knows the controller is there but won't seem to map any of the controls as I want. ???? Someone hit me up over PM if they think they can help.

are you getting lights on the transport showing that midi is incoming and when you pick something and turn a knob does a # appear over the control in the software?

go to prefs and make sure the controller you have is set up. mess with the on's and off's. basically what you are doing is overriding the factory settings of the midi mapping of the keyboard with Live. seems like you have it locked down to that specific mapping.

Oh, and I've also tried a factory restore by pressing the +/- keys down on the controller. Not sure if it worked or not. My computer froze up when I tried to restart but is working fine now aside from not mapping my control surface. I also reinstalled the drivers for the UC-33. I'm really at a loss here. I'm sure it's just something dumb I'm overlooking.

Re: Any Ableton Live experts feel like helping me map my midi control surface? I'm not totally opposed to going Mac, but I do love my new Dell. It's a solid laptop. It runs Live like a champ, has a hd capabilities and an hdmi port for me to run it straight to my switchbox to my tv for a media server. I might consider going Mac when I get a dedicated studio machine in the next year or so. For now this is pretty much the workhorse of...
