Mike from http://max4live.info/ has created a remote script for Ableton Live and the block controller. This lets you use the Ohm64 in live as a control surface, no mapping required! It also gives you access to the "red box". This is the first beta, so there are a few known issues. One being that launching scenes doesn't work right. But this is super awesome so I wanted to share for you to test.

- Top left 8 knobs automapped to device racks
- 7 knobs above faders automapped to pans
- 7 sliders automapped to 7 tracks
- 7 buttons under faders select track
- left button next to crossfader solos currently selected track
- right button next to crossfader record enables selected track
- F4=Global start, F5=Global stop
- F6=Move Box up, F3=Move Box Down, F1=Move nox left, F2=Move Box Right
- First seven columns of button grid launch clips, last column launches
scenes

Download the script here http://lividindustry.com/dl/Ohm640.863.zip

Where it needs to go
MAC - Right click on the Live App icon and put the Ohm64 folder in Contents/App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts
Windows > C:\Program Files\Ableton\Live <your version here>\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts

When you open live go to the preferences and select Ohm64 in the control surface preferences, and the input/output prefs.

Give it a whirl and let us know what you think! Block coming soon too.

A new one

- Master channel strip now functional (number 8)
- master select now functional
- Crossfader works, but in reverse. I have to figure out how to fix that. I may need to override a function.

curious if vst effects will be easy to manipulate with z template.

This isn't really a "template" per se, it just automaps the controller. What VST effects are you talking about in general?

You could drag a instrument rack onto a track and then place a VST/AU inside of that. Then, you can map 8 parameters that will in turn be mapped to the 8 top left knobs of the ohm64. Basically, the knobs on the top left are automapped to Live racks.

Some changes that I would like to see the volume faders are great but they can't be manipulated -- I would prefer if the max volume they could go was zero not +12 -- this way you could really slam the fader -- in regualr midi mapping mode you can set the defaults and threshholds to be certain values. Also I never use pan and the first 8 knobs default to controlling the pan which I can say I have never used -- the first 8 knobs should be reserved for effects for each track not the pan -- this would insure you used them -- I don't forsee pan being a must need knob especially the first set of them.

Other than that its unreal how rad this is

I concur about the level of awesome this is. Seriously, I'm in love.

Ditto on the Pan functionality. I'd rather have another fx send. Speaking of fx sends! I'm not sure if I'm using the right build, but mine weren't working when I used the 'updated' build (v863?).

The track "solo" seems to work as a mute. Solo would be much better, obviously. Also, maybe this is just me- but I would prefer having an 8 clip grid and no scene launch rather than the 7 column with a scene launch. Anyone agree or is that just me? But it's purely a matter of taste.

The reverse cross fader is just a problem with Live and the Ohm, not anything from you. Go into the Ohm editor and hit the "flip xfader" button.

Not sure if I agree or not with abboriginal on the +12 volume issue. I totally know what you mean about wanted to slam the faders up (doing quick dj mix style stuff). On the other hand, where would you cap them? Kinda hard to make that decision.

Otherwise, I'm totally in love with Mike and have decided to give him my first born child.

Try the new 863, this one reverses the xfader for you, no editor needed. Here's a video. Thanks for the comments, keep them coming!

haha..."Oh Jesus are you serious!" at the end of the video is gold.

Speaking of gold and "oh jesus are you serious" this is soooo awesome. Finally yay!

One thing I was thinking is that perhaps it would help if the clip grid was implemented the way it is in 7up where a solid light represents where the clips are on the grid and a flashing light represents what's playing. The only thing that would have me still using my launchpad is being able to see where clips are before you launch them. it would be super easy to hit the wrong button this way and stop the track from playing or launch the wrong clip.

The only other thing that would have me doing cartwheels would be some sort of 'pages' type system like the launchpad has so that you could have this apc 40 type implementation and then jump across to another 'page' where the grid could be assigned to something else.

BUT, having said that this is the hugest step forward and is 100% the business! Thanks so much.
