Remote SL modification #41

Hello,
I am a musician and i am using the Novation SL MK2 61 key to control Ableton Live 9.7.5.. I want to change the default RemoteSL midi script so it suits my needs better..I am willing to pay someone to do this modification for me because i know nothing of python scripting..
Here is the way i would like it to work:
-I want the 8 SL endless encoders AND the 8 pots to control the 8 blue hand parameters of a selected Ableton device. So i can use the endless encoders for slower precision moves and the pots for fast moves (like filter cutoff for example)
-I need the SL display to always show the blue hand parameters info of a selected Ableton device. So i don't need mixer information or track names on the display when i touch a fader on the SL.
-I want to have the 8 SL drum pads to select bank 1-8 of the blue hand parameters of a selected Ableton device. This way i can go instantly to bank 8 without paging up/down. The SL screen should display the parameters of the selected bank! I don’t need the bank up/down buttons from the Remote SL script.
-I don’t need automap, i am not going to use it.

So that's it!
Is this possible?

I basically did it by using both the default RemoteSL script and by adding a userconfiguration.txt script:
-I replaced the 8 parameter cc's in the user script to the cc's of the 8 Novation SL pots (so now both the endless encoders and the 8 pots controlled the 8 blue hand parameters..this worked fine)
-I added the 8 cc's of the drumpads for the BANK1-8 buttons in the user script. This worked fine and i could switch banks but the SL display didn't follow the selected bank, only the bank up/down button (from the Remote SL script)
-The Novation display keeps on switching between mixer/track name information (when i touch a fader on the SL) and the 8 blue hand parameters (when i touch a endless encoder or a pot) and i want it to stay on the blue hand parameters. I couldn't fix this.

So thanks, let me know what you think!
I added a pdf to make it more clear!
I have Ableton 9.7.5..
I am willing to pay for this custom script of course!

Thanks for the help! Jan [email protected]

I've modified the Novations SL MK2 script for my own use, and I might be able to help you out here. Let me know if you still need this work done.

Hey,

So i have a modified script and everything works the way i want it
I am running Ableton Live 9 and have a RemoteSL Mk2 61key)

The modifications:
-the 8 SL drumpads switch parameter banks and the SL screen displays the parameters of the selected bank
-both the endless encoders and the rotary pots control the 8 blue hand parameters
-the SL display 'ignores' the right side of the SL (the faders) so the display always displays the parameters of the selected Ableton device, even when i touch a fader (i don't need the mixer information)

But i am running into problems with LED feedback on some of the midi mapped SL buttons..
I made a example video but i can't seem to post it here on GitHub?
Can i have your email adress so i can send you the script and the video?

Thanks! Jan
