teletorben Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hi, Some MIDI keyboards have a bank or preset change function on the keyboard itself, KB37 have it in the software. I'm searching for a method to change the assignment of KB37 buttons and rotators on the fly, without opening the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Control Panel. For example to map the 4 rotators to volume for track 1-4 in preset 1, 5-8 in preset 2, etc. Is it possible to do so via MIDI bank/program change? As in: can the KB37 accept a incoming MIDI bank/program change event? Would be awesome! This guy shows the method with a VST synth, which got me hoping it could be done with a MIDI controller as well: MIDI Clips to change Bank and Program values in Ableton Live - YouTube thanks, all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teletorben Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 In the POD Studio™ & TonePort™ MIDI Setup Guide (pdf, page 35) it is described how to accomplish this in Sonar through its native ACT MIDI Controller Plug-in. It works! Sending momentary CC 14/15 messages, mapped to the Sound Select buttons on KB37 cycles up and down the tracks, so f.ex. rotary 1 changes from track 1 Volume to track 5 Volume and so on. How can this be done in Ableton Live (or another DAW)? Is there a similar MIDI stand-alone plugin that can route and map MIDI out from KB37 and send the preferred values to a DAW? Or a plugin program that can route Bank change messages into KB37? In my dreams this could be done from a footswitch that cycles through Banks on the KB37. I checked the Novation Launc Control, its factory Bank/preset switch changes MIDI channels (I'd prefer not to keep that 80€ box). Ableton can also send Bank/program change messages from a MIDI clip, which needs to be launched on its own, which could be done from a any mapped keyboard shortcut. ClyphX for Live 8 and 9 (The Beatwise Network) seems to be the advanced approach. It must be a general setup issue for other MIDI keyboards/controllers without a native Bank/preset switch or for controlling external synth hardware. Hopefully someone has shared a KB37 controller script for Ableton during the last 10 years. I am a (16) bit MIDI overwhelmed but will boldly research further ! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
