Hello i just saw this tutorial on how to make your MIDI controller Execute Keystroke Combos in Ableton:

Code: Select all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3ggc1D3xb8&list
I've followed his guide but he shows you how to map a undo button to a controller using bomes & midi yoke. Is there anychance of getting some help to map something else? :D

I want to map the Clip View and Device View windows (bottom right corner) to 2 buttons on my mixtrack pro 2 conrtoller.
The short cut for this in Ableton is "SHIFT + TAB" but im finding it hard to input that in into bomes.
Im using the classic version & when i go to "outgoing", select "Key Press or sequence" how do i input "SHIFT + TAB"?

What would be the correct way to type that into the feild?

Thanks

-EDIT-

It dosent seam to reconise when i hit the tab button, i could only seem to input it as:

Code: Select all

SHIFT T A B
Then in ableton when i push the button on my controller it triggers a totally different button. It triggers the Draw Mode switch button on/off which i havent touched... See pic:

OMG i got it working :D

I was blind, i had to tick the box so that you can input the tab button properly...

I can't beleive i got this working, i tried using this software a year ago (but failled) to change the leds on a set of Novation Dicers doing all this stuff was too much for me then.

This opens up a whole new world now :lol:

Yea no problem :D This is for the Classic Edition...

I've used the 4 small pitch bend buttons 2 either side in the top corners, to map these keystrokes:
1:Clip/Device view toggle,
2:Channel/Deck Selector Left (Highlights the Left channel/deck in ableton),
3:Channel/Deck Selector Right (Highlights the Right channel/deck in ableton),
4:Session/Arangement view toggle.
