Elevation Worship Here Again Ableton Patch

Launchpad95 : Improved Novation Launchpad remote scripts

These scripts are modified version of Ableton Live nine.2 scripts for Novation Launchpad and provide the same functionality but add together back up for editing the midi clips using a footstep sequencer, an Instrument Controller and Device Controller and an improved Instrument Way. It does not crave any external tool like Max for Alive (M4L) in guild to work. This script is just a apparently Alive Control Surface Python Script.

Annotate, feedback and updates : please check this thread on Ableton forum http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=168495

Note the transmission is besides bachelor in french as a PDF, thank you to François Lehérissier.

Instrument Controller Mode

Instrument Fashion replaces classic User Fashion 1. To activate Musical instrument Controller Style, press User Mode 1 button (manner button remains amber). Press User Mode 1 button once more, push button turns green, activating the Device Controller. In one case more the button volition plough red, activating the plain old User Mode 1 in case y'all demand information technology.

The top upward/downwardly navigation buttons allow to navigate scenes, while the left/correct button allow to navigate tracks. The scene buttons allow yous to command the currently selected track and clip, arm, solo, record, play, terminate etc (see below).

The matrix of buttons act equally a midi keyboard proposing a pulsate rack layout, and a melodic mode. Melodic way enable you to select root note, type of way (major, minor etc), and the octave y'all play in.

Most of the scene buttons accept alternate functions when yous concur them long (0.five sec) :
- disengage : a long printing will perform a redo !
- stop : a long press will DELETE currently selected clip. No worries this is undoable !
- solo : a long press on solo will enable/disable the selected runway.
- arm : property arm for more than 0.five seconds volition toggle alive's metronome. A very long press (2 sec) volition alternate between auto arm of track and manual rail arming. Color of the button will reflect the selected style. This is really useful if you have more than one controller/person interacting with Live.

Orient: this button volition change the orientation from vertical to horizontal of the instrument style.
Absolute root: the bottom left left button will always be the root mode of the selected root note.
Chromatic Guitar: Calibration Mode is pretty much similar regular chromatic manner, except the pinnacle four rows are all shifted past one semitone. This is so that the bottom 6 rows emulate standard guitar tuning.
Diatonic sequent: each row represents an octave, so each offset and last button of each row will exist the root note.
Diatonic third: when moving from one push button to the next top, y'all will move a 3rd degree in the scale. 3rd is very applied to play chords vertically.
Diatonic 4th: when moving from one button to the next top, you lot will move a quaternary degree in the scale. fourth is the default fashion, also on the push button.
Chromatic: each button to the left or right of a push button will be a semitone lower or college.
C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B: selects the root annotation of the scale.
Relative scale: changes current selected scale to its relative scale. IE. from C major to C pocket-sized and viceversa.
5th left: changes current selected calibration to the prior calibration in the circle of fifths (a fifth lower).
5th correct: changes electric current selected scale to the adjacent scale in the circumvolve of fifths (a 5th college).
Quick scale mode: substitutes the summit two rows of instrument mode for the quick scale modes (come across below).
-two, -1, 0, 1, two, 3, 4, 5: changes the octave of the musical instrument mode.

quick scale modes

if quick scale is activated (final button on the correct on the 2nd row in calibration edit mode), the two first rows of the launchpad allow you to quickly change the scale.

this shows the two outset rows of the launchpad. the concluding button of the first row changes between root note selection and way pick.

root note

in this mode yous tin can select the root note of your scale. you lot can also chop-chop alternate between pocket-size and major by pressing the button over again

Drum Footstep Sequencer Manner

To activate the Pulsate Step Sequencer, select a midi clip in the prune view. So press User Way 2 push once, activating the step sequencer (in normal style). Printing user mode 2 button once more opens the Melodic step sequencer

this sequencer has two sub modes detailed beneath. combined and multinotes. (notation there is a second pace sequencer, melodic step sequencer detailed further downwardly).

A playback/metronome indicator is scrolling thru the filigree in amber to indicate the playing position of the clip as the clip is playing. This is just an overlay, it does not touch on the functionality of the buttons.

Here are the colour codes used :
- Normal notes are shown in Green, intensity depending on their velocity.
- Muted notes are displayed in ruby.
- Notes beingness currently played are flashing in red.
- Notes being played and being exterior of the currently displaying midi clip block volition as well flash in cherry-red.

Some other data is displayed, using orange colour :
- Note markers help to better visualise what row stand for to which note:
- root note of the selected are marked with three orange left buttons lit upwardly.
- other notes of the scale are marked with 1 orange button lit on the left-about row.
- while scrolling left and right along the clip, a vertical bar will brandish you where y'all are in the clip

A summary of functions assigned to the buttons is shown in the tabular array below. hover your mouse to a higher place a button to go detailed descriptions.

StepSeq by default works in combined mode. pressing the fourth scene button toggles between combined way and multi note mode. Multinote manner works in similarly to the the previous step in launchpad85, while combined mode offers fashion close to the way Push button StepSeq behaves.

Combined Mode

The lesser left area permit you select the annotation currently beingness edited on the meridian annotation editor.

The bottom right surface area allows yous the select the currently clip part currently being displayed (unmarried button press) and edited (double press or one button after the other).

Some buttons have combined function :

Lock (2nd scene push button):
- press long to switch between clip lock and play prune on locked rails mode
- yellow : track lock mode. stride sequencer is locked to current track and volition follow playing clip on this track
- red : footstep sequencer is locked to electric current clip.
quantize (3rd scene button):
- printing long duplicate prune in a new clip
Mute (last scene button):
- hold mute button and click on a notation to mute information technology
- hold mute button and press on a note in the bottom left quadrant to mute it
- concur mute button and select a loop range in the loop selector to delete it
velocity (7th scene push):
- hold velocity button and click on a note to change its velocity
- hold velocity button and click on a note to alter in the note selector to ear a preview of the audio
- concord velocity button and select a loop range in the loop selector to extend the original clip content to the newly selected length
velocity (seventh scene push button) and mute
- hold velocity push button and mute button at the same time and select a loop range in the loop selector in order to mute this fourth dimension selection

Multinote Fashion

To activate this mode, press the quaternary scene button while in Combined Fashion (pressing the same button again will take you dorsum to Combined Way).

This mode uses the grid every bit a 8*8 matrix. i midi note per row. It follows the scale mode selected. Annotation that the left and right arrows are used to navigate left and right in the clip.

Melodic StepSequencer

To actuate this mode, printing user mode two push until it turns light-green.

This style behave more than how a hardware stepsequencer works. it uses the grid as a 7*8 matrix to edit notation pitch, velocity, length and octave. one function per page. of course notes pitches follow the selected scale !

The last row of the matrix acts equally a page selector and work in the similar fashion to the combined step stequencer loop selector.

double printing on the final scene button toggles betwixt monophonic and polyphonic modes.

Device Controller Way

Navigation

Navigation among tracks and devices is done using the top left navigation buttons.

Editing parameters

You tin can edit eight parameters of the selected device on the selected track at one time. One parameter per cavalcade. You can navigate banks of parameters using scene buttons ii and 3. depending on the type of parameter edited launchpad will brandish then in unlike ways.

On/Off parameters: using the color lawmaking red. only one button volition be used to change the parameter
Parameter with list of values: for the parameters that take a list of values, the color lawmaking it amber, for example a Synth wave form selector (square, sine, triangle). If the parameter has less that eight values, they will be directly acessible one by one. if more values are available, you can coil thru the values. the closer the button to the eye the more precise. the closer the top or bottom of the launchpad, the greater the value modify will exist at each press.
Parameter continuous values: for the parameters that have a continuous value, like Volume, Panning, etc, the color code is greenish. past default Launchpad displays the parameter like a volume slider on the mixer style. if y'all activate the precision slider mode (by pressing scene four button), the sliders will then piece of work in the similar way to the example of parameter with list of values.

F.A.Q.

one. Which Launchpad flavours are supported

Launchpad, Launchpad S, Mini, Mini MK2 and MK2 (RGB), Mini MK3, and Launchpad X are supported
Basically all Launchpad only the pro are supported by this script.
Launchpad Pro is supported by Launchpad Pro95

2. Which Ableton live versions are supported

Launchpad 95 works with Alive 9.two+, and Live10 32 bit or 64 fleck, Mac or Windows, suite or intro or standard. Basically with every combination you may recall of equally long at it is live 9.2 or greater.
Of course Ableton from fourth dimension to time change their Python Alive without notification and therefore Launchpad95 might stop working, merely i am trying to keep up and the changes.
if Launchpad95 stopped worked subsequently an update, make sure to download the final version from this site.

3. Where should I put the script (for live ten & eleven)?

From Live Browser, head to your "User Library". and create a folder "Remote Scripts"
Correct click this folder and select "show in finder/explorer".
Re-create the Launchpad95 folder there.

4. Where should I put the script (for live 9)?

On pc/windows 7 : within "C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 9 Suite\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts"
On a mac right-click the Live awarding yous use (at that place might more than i installed!) and select "view package content", then browse to "App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts".

Within this "MIDI Remote Scripts" binder, you should have a binder called "Launchpad95". inside this folder y'all should have a agglomeration of .py files, and a for each of them a .pyc file. (.pyc files are compiled version of the .py that live compiles as you get-go it.)

Sometimes a motion picture is worth 1000 words. Accept a await at these screenshots.
- On a mac it look like this:

- on a pc similar that:

5. It does not work, I installed everything, but the launchpad does non light up when I select Launchpad95 in the dropdown in the preferences. what is wrong ?

It is hard to judge what you did wrong. You must have installed non the correct way somehow. Try to install it from scratch again, download from this site, extract install, restart live. Amid the listing of things you lot tin can try to exercise :

- cheque the you installed at the right identify. (check question #3 and question #four !)
- Pay attending to the folder name AND its full path. (again see screenshots in higher up in question #3 question #4)
- how many versions of live practise you have installed ?
- are you lot running alive nine.ii or greater ? for live 8 delight use launchpad85. For live 9.0, upgrade to live nine.2+.

half-dozen. It does not work, I installed everything, only Launchpad95 does not appears the dropdown in the preferences. what is wrong ?

See question 5.

seven. Note Feedback is non working in Instrument Controller

Make sure you activated the launchapd midi in/out as "track" in Live midi preferences.

8. Alive 8 ?

For Live eight.four: Launchpad85.

9. practiced piece of work ! I wish to donate ! is there a way to donate somehow ?

Sure ! Your donations immune me to pay for the Launchpad Pro that is now supported ! thank you lot for this.
