I cannot thank you enough, I've been trying to midi map my A61 knobs in Ableton for the longest time with no luck, I finally succeeded with the help of your video!
I just purchased mine last week and the knobs have different number than your script file. Mine start with 103 and go to 109. You may want to update this video and show users how to correct that in the txt file. I'm sure it is something Native Instruments changed. Great video! Thank you!
Hey man, how are you able to have the tracks armed upon selection? I always have to arm them manually because I cannot find an option to have them do that automatically unlike Logic Pro X. Thanks
Hi I'm not able to operate the parameters when I do shift + plug in ...... parameters are not working there even though I can see the blue hand I'm using iOS
thanks for the video - for some reason i can only use the first 2 knobs.. i checked the script from ur download but the numbers and everything seem to be right. happy if someone could help :))
Thanks man! I'm looking to become more hands on with MIDI mapping and fuller use of my S49 alongside what I do with my Push 2. This script will be helpful!
ive got the same keyboard as yuo buy all my lights to show up when i plug it in, i can play with the midi and it will work but the only lights i have is the little screen and the octave lights?
Hey! Have you tried restarting Ableton Live? It should work with any 10.1 version of Live. Just make sure the script is placed in the appropriate directory for your current version of Ableton Live. Cheers!
thanks , but i copied the folder into the remote scripts folder (live 11) but doesnt appear on the controller´s list/live preferences. any idea ? komplete m32.
Man, this is amazing!!! Just tested and it works perfectly in any plugin with the blue hand! Do you know if there is a way of creating this script but for other Native Instruments controllers and hardware? Such as Maschine and Maschine Jam for example? Thanks again!
Cheers! Greatly appreciate the feedback! That’s definitely possible. This script can work with any MIDI controller that has knobs and buttons but it depends how MIDI is implemented on controller like the Maschines. I posted a link under the video to learn more about User Remote Scripts if you’d like to experiment! Don’t be afraid to tinker. Good luck!
@@PhaseLoop Awesome! Will check the link about User Remote Scripts you provided and test this script with my Maschine to see if it works as well! Again, thanks a lot!
Hi there, Thank you so much for the explanations. However, when I do exactly that, everything works fine expect for the 2nd knob of my A61 (knob number 15). This knob works fine in track mode though but not in blue hand mode.. Have you got an idea why ?
Hey! this folder is a bit tricky to find. Try holding the Option key while clicking on "Go" from Finder's top menu. You'll notice your Library folder is then available.
I've tried these and also others i've found in the internet and I don't get Ableton 11 to recognize these macro scripts on OSX Ventura anybody else has managed to do so. I am on Ableton 11.3.2 Thanks
Hey there, not sure I understood the problem that’s happening on your end. The standard NI DAW control will allow you to switch tracks by moving the 4-way encoder left and right when set to Track on the top right of your keyboard. You can use the SHIFT + Track (Instance) button combo only if you have a Komplete Kontrol plug-in on the selected track. Otherwise it will be disabled. Hope it helps! Thanks!
This is an option you can enable in the options.txt file! Search for “options.txt” on Google and you’ll find an option you can enable called “EnableArmOnSelection” Cheers!
Great idea but not working at all. Since the last update no script is showing up regardless if you use the original folder for remote scripts or creating your own as suggested by ableton...
Hey! Were you able to get it working on Ableton Live before? It’s important to restart Live after copying the files. I can double-check the latest version just to be sure.
You could try closing ableton live, reconnecting the controller, then reopening ableton live. Unfortunately, I am not sure what else would cause the controller port to be unavailable. Hope it shows up!
@@PhaseLoop Great stuff, but do I need to make adjustments for the file to match it with the M32? I tried before but the output line in preferences becomes orange and it messes the keys up.
@@yoericktv9610 I found the fix. I had to put the files in both the 'midi remote scripts' folder and 'remote scripts' folder. For some reason I had two separate ones. One, for appdata and one for documents.
The idea of scripts is that you dont have to watch blue hands or holding a shift button on a controller repeatedly to do basic stuff. Its all distraction. A good script harmasses muscle memory and creative flow. This does not if you ask me. 👍🏻
dude. you've just solved a problem no one seems to address properly online. honestly, thank you so much!!!!

hey man I've done everything in this video on my mbp 2010 but the Kontrol a series macro option doesn't show up in Ableton preferences..
I'm having the same problem SMH

So awesome, I really appreciate it dude! This is going to help so much.
Hitting shift plugin is getting kind of old. Is there a way for the A49 to auto-detect when you are on a plugin? Thanks :)
that piano sounds flawless
Thank you really! Awesome helpful integration with Kontrol M32.. it is necessary add-on!
just got me an A25 and this does not work on my macbook, cant find the folder even with holding alt on finder, any updates for that?
Hey thanks brotha…but Does this work with Logic?
How do you add the Komplete Kontrol in Plugins ?
does this work for the m-series by any chance? anyhow: great work, thanks for sharing
just tried it. in live 12.0.25 only the first two knobs seem to respond on my ni kontrol m32
this saved my day, thanks a lot!
Hi I'm not able to operate the parameters when I do shift + plug in ...... parameters are not working there even though I can see the blue hand I'm using iOS
Ok so I dont see the komplete kontrol DAW mode...How do I solve this? @ 2:07
Hey, for some reason this is not working for me.. I followed the exact steps. HELP! lol
thanks for the video - for some reason i can only use the first 2 knobs.. i checked the script from ur download but the numbers and everything seem to be right. happy if someone could help :))
(and i´m also on "page one" with the knobs so it is also not that :/ )
Thanks man! I'm looking to become more hands on with MIDI mapping and fuller use of my S49 alongside what I do with my Push 2. This script will be helpful!
Thanks, that’s awesome to hear! I use mine alone side the Push 2 and it’s a great combo! Cheers!
Bro I've been trying to figure out a way to map blue hand too. Would be amazing if you could switch via drum pads. A boy can dream.
What if I have reverse task?
I know CC of hardware synth and want to have in ableton fader or knob, changing parameter at hardware?
Is it possible?
Thank you! It helped me a lot!
I don't understand why they didn't add this feature by default!
Does it work with Ableton 11 ?
ive got the same keyboard as yuo buy all my lights to show up when i plug it in, i can play with the midi and it will work but the only lights i have is the little screen and the octave lights?
Yo man ableton doesn't show the A Daw control surface option. I have the latest version of Ableton installed 10.1.14

Phase Loop I fixed the problem it turns out I needed to install komplete kontrol
Carlos Ramirez Fabian Oh perfect! I’ll keep that in mind in the future as well! Thanks!
@@carlosramirezfabian1256 This helped me out. Thanks Carlos.
good but when midi mode on,not working the play stop ect.. :( any idea? I beginner in Ableton daw sorry..
installed this script but for some reason the big knob is not working - to move over from track to track
Hey is there some way we can leave it on Plugin/device control mode by default? I dont really care much about using my knobs for the mixer :)
Thank You, very helfpful, worked perfectly!
Thank you so much for this!!!
thanks , but i copied the folder into the remote scripts folder (live 11) but doesnt appear on the controller´s list/live preferences. any idea ? komplete m32.
Hey! Sorry for the late response. Any luck after restarting Ableton Live? The script will appear after a restart. Cheers!

See what MIDI CC message your 2nd Controller is sending and edit the UserConfig text. Find the Encoder used. and edit whatever MIDI CC it is sending.
I cant find user remote scripts folder in my mac! :( m1 mac, ableton 11, ventura os
Hey! this folder is a bit tricky to find. Try holding the Option key while clicking on "Go" from Finder's top menu. You'll notice your Library folder is then available.
I haven't got the Ableton folder in my preferences folder. Can anyone help here? thx (My Mac is 10.14)
I've tried these and also others i've found in the internet and I don't get Ableton 11 to recognize these macro scripts on OSX Ventura
anybody else has managed to do so. I am on Ableton 11.3.2
Thanks
Hey dude I pasted the script but it doesn't let me choose a different instance. It skips through the arrangement and not tracks. Thanks!
Hey there, not sure I understood the problem that’s happening on your end.
The standard NI DAW control will allow you to switch tracks by moving the 4-way encoder left and right when set to Track on the top right of your keyboard.

@@PhaseLoop moving the big knob encoder is not moving around the tracks.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🙏🙏❤❤
does it work with ableton live 11?
how come selecting another midi track automatically arms it?
This is an option you can enable in the options.txt file! Search for “options.txt” on Google and you’ll find an option you can enable called “EnableArmOnSelection” Cheers!
Have you found ways to Map a shortcut changing to the next instrument bank without clicking it to activate the blue hand?
Unfortunately, that’s possible with the current User Remote Script setup but I’d love to revisit this and see if it’s possible. Thanks!
@@PhaseLoop I've tried the BankButton Assignement Next and previous . it doesnt do that.
Does this work with Maschine MK3 too?
LIFE SAVER
thanks a lot!!
Thank you so much.
thanks
THANKS!!!
You're welcome!

Hey! Were you able to get it working on Ableton Live before? It’s important to restart Live after copying the files. I can double-check the latest version just to be sure.
Why don't I get the KOMPLETE KONTROL A DAW in INPUT and OUTPUT?
Are you using the M32 or another Komplete controller by chance? The “A” designation will only appear on the A series keyboard
@@PhaseLoop i have A49 and M32 haha
You could try closing ableton live, reconnecting the controller, then reopening ableton live. Unfortunately, I am not sure what else would cause the controller port to be unavailable. Hope it shows up!
@@musiclearning2983 You need to download Komplete Kontrol software. As soon as you download, it'll show up.
can I use this script with Komplete m32 ?
Absolutely! I use it with the M32 all the time since I picked it up 👍
@@PhaseLoop Great stuff, but do I need to make adjustments for the file to match it with the M32? I tried before but the output line in preferences becomes orange and it messes the keys up.
Thanks!!!!!
does this work with Ableton 11
Yes! I still use this regularly with Live 11. Cheers
Endless encoders jumps or similar behavior to usual rotary encoders, bad thing.
This is just not working for me.
You need to download Komplete Kontrol software. As soon as you download, those other inputs will show up. Good luck.

Lame. Takes an extra control script slot AND you have to use the mouse to move the blue hand? Lame.
How do you get this to work with a Komplete s61 MK2... I cant get this to work on my Controller?
Does this work on Ableton live 11??
