hey! I'm sorry the 8 parameters are a limitation within the remote-scripts. the only thing that could help you out here is a dedicated (python)-script [search the ableton-forums] or max for live.
best luck!

hi. i'm having so many issues with my nocturn but your mapping seems to be the best luck i had, however i have one question. can you or how could i change the script so that the page buttons can be used to control more parameters? at the moment your script only controls 8 paramters. great for instrument racks but sadly not much use for other devices. on my novation remote sl the rotaries perform automap and the buttons on the side can be used to bank accross more parameters in the device. i would lke to achieve this with the nocturn. can you help in anyway? provided your no busy of course… thanks

Sorry, should have read can shift focus to the browser, by holding down the browser toggle button, so its showing, clicking the focus up button, and then up-down-left-right to browse

(Fletchermusic should be fletchmusic too

You can shift the focus to browser by alt-left and elt-right. How to shift the focus to browser using the nocturn control map stumped me for last hour, but just worked it out thanks to this site and the vid and some random button pressing

As you say it seems you need more keys to get into the browser menu. From the control map posted on the video you mention, you can focus on the browser by holding down the browser toggle button and then using the (assigned) arrow key buttons. Hope that help mate.

Massive thanks to Nicken & to Fletchermusic on youtube for making this happen. Hugely appreciated

thx, could be possible. but it looks like he is just pressing one button for up and one for down focus. if i use the alt-curser combination im must press the button 2 times for focus up or down because there are 3 areas, with browser 4.

if someone have another idea, let me know. thx

i think you refer to alt-up and alt-down.
with alt and the cursor-keys you can cycle your focus through the different areas of ableton.

@ the cat

i think it is possible, but you have to find someone who can write a phyton script.

he nicken, sorry for the confusion but it was my misstake. first there was the automap hui activated and second thing was that i copy the remoteskript to the folder with all the other pyhton scrips and not the midiremotescript folder in my user libary (i use os x). so now it works fine.
but i have another question. did you have a idea how i could change between the tracks and clips and the racks and clipview. i found no shortcut but there must be a way because i have seen a video on youtube by flechtmusic. and this guy have this option. this is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1As9_wfnQU

would be cool if someone have an idea. thx

sorry, but it doesn't work for me. I followed your instructions to the point.
I'm able to select nocturn in prefs (and appropriate input/output), but nothing happens.
I can see that ableton receives midi input but still nothing
Ableton 8.1 / Windows 7 64-bit

yes you can use pages as usual, but there is no functionality automatically assigned.

By: Nicken

Nicken — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:02:33 +0000

hm, it's hard to fix sth when not on your computer.. the only reasons i could think of so far:
1) you got the files in the wrong folder (§3)
2) you got that channel-assignment wrong. when you want to use channel1, in the script you specify the GlobalChannel to 0. (§4)

i'm sorry if that doesn't help you getting started, but can't look into your setup.
good luck!

Your Script Looks AmazinG! but I'm doing something wrong I have tried to Install it and get in it to work with no luck. Been using Live for a while but Im new to AutoMap. I followed your instructions to the bone. It seems easy and simple. I feel so dumb because it seems like I'm the only one with the issue. My settings read: MIDI IN/OUT +AutoMap. Channels 1 2 3 4 Activated. (also I tried just with Channel 1) Thank you so much for the script !! and thakx in advance to the help. peace.
