I Can’t get this to work. Nocturn turns up alright, but it does nothing and Automap MIDI is not available. What do I do?

Hi. I’ve got a question for you.. Is the downloaded file supposed to contain only the .txt files? I can’t find anything else inside and the mapping doesn’t work for me!

Good to know, it’s still working, and glad you found a solution.
Have fun!

hi Niklas. This is still awesome 2 years later (& is the reason I bought a Nocturn anyway). It makes Max for Live far more hands-on too.

When I upgraded to Automap 4.x – it looks like the encoder CC assignment got cleared or something. I had to reassign CCs (the ones used in your remote script) to the rotary encoders under Automap’s ‘user’ preset. All OK now & big sigh of relief.

This site is interesting for other site I like this and play the next two side by side. The piece by Shinichiroa presents the sound of some untroubled times.

you are right. this functionality does not come out of the box… this is why you are here somehow the novation-people thought, that automap should refer to AU/VSTs only…

AH! Looks amazing. My Nocturn is in the post as I type, and I was mortified to find how lacking it is with Ableton by default, but this looks perfect for what I want. So am I right in thinking that, without something like this, the Nocturn (and Automap) doesnt do that blue hand thing where it maps the first 8 parameters of an effect? Because I use effects racks for live stuff and I just need it to be able to control the parameters on different effects racks as I select them, and control a crossfader. Thanks again!

THIS IS AMAZING YOU LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE… i bout the damn thing… hated automap and just wanted a similar controller to the nankontrol and you mad eit happen!!! seriously THANK YOU ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL!!

Niklas — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 17:32:00 +0000

well, sorry for the late answer, but if you're still searching for the answer: you should be able to do this. simply check the cc-values of the encoders on the page you want to control the volume with and put them in the UserConfiguration.txt und the headline [MixerControls]. right now there are a lot of -1 because i did not use that for my script. (i have a nanoKontrol for volume-faders). i hope that helps – cheers, niklas

thanks niklas! but for some reasons only alt+left / right is working and up and down not!? nevermind! i have an additional question: how can i implement a simple mixer function to your script? i want the 8 knobs on the nocturn to control the volume faders of ableton live. that is all i need. is this possible with bankswitching? ( use the pages as banks with 8 volumecontrols in it). i try to get my head around this and have no clue! cheers!

i'm sorry, but i think this does not work. you cannot split up the channels within one single config-file. never tried, though. if you succeed please let us know how you did it!
thanks for coming by! cheers, nik

Hello, yes the focus-commands are alt-up and alt-down. you can tell which area of the interface is focused by watching the border. once you are down in your devices you can navigate the blue-hand-focus with the arrow-keys. should work imo…
cheers!
