Disgusting hack put together during a rainy weekend to enable Instant Mapping for Arturia KeyLab Essential MIDI controller in Ableton Live 1011.
That's right, the knobs are no longer tied to the marginally useful track panning! Instead, they are automagically mapped to the controls of the selected device
with the blue hand icon (just like it's meant to be). You can now tweak them macros like a boss!
To install, go to /Applications/Ableton Live 11 Suite.app/Contents/App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts/
and rename KeyLab_Essential
directory to KeyLab_Essential_BACKUP
.
Then, copy the corresponding directory from this repository.
This will release the encoder knobs from their hardcoded panning function.
To assign the knobs to Instant Mapping, also copy the KeyLab_Essential2
directory.
To activate add KeyLab Essential2 as another Control Surface in MIDI preferences. Input should be the same as of KeyLab Essential:
