Just like the Hercules P32 DJ itself, our midi script experts have designed “Kuala” to blur the lines between producing and djing with Ableton in an incredible new way. Control your clips in 2 essential ways at the same time; tap out beats and melodies with the right set of 16 pads, while creating, launching and editing multiple clips in your session with the left set of 16 pads. This constant control over multiple clips will enable you to get those great new ideas down faster and create more fluid performances. But that’s just the start of what this script can do...

4x4 Clip and Track Controls
![red session box inside ableton](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/red-box.gif)
4x4 Session Box (Red Box)
Kuala gives you a 4x4 session box which you will see displayed inside Ableton. This provides control over 16 clips, across 4 tracks/channels at any one time. The selected clips are controlled using the left set of 16 pads on your Hercules P32 DJ. You also get various controls for the 4 tracks, giving you the ability to mix sets of 4 tracks without needing to switch between them.![hotcue](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/hotcue.jpg)
Clip Creation & Launching
When "HOTCUE" is selected, the 16 pads control clip creation/recording and launching of the 16 currently highlighted clips.![hercules p32 left 16 pads](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/loop.jpg)
When “LOOP" is selected for the left set of 16 pads...
4 Track Mute Control

The second row controls solo/cue for the 4 tracks, pads display blue when solo/cued or off4 Track A/B Assign
The third row control A/B select for each of the tracks - these are used to assign tracks to the left and right positions of the crossfader, essential for DJ style mixing. Pads display blue when assigned to A, purple when assigned to B and off when not assigned to any.4 Track Stop Button Control
The bottom 4 are stop track buttons. They display red when the track is stopped and purple when the track is playing.![4 track volume control](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/left-4-knobs.jpg)
4 Track Volume Control
Located above the left 16 pads, the 4 encoders control volume for each track contained within the session box (red box).![session box navigation](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/left-cue-and-play.jpg)
Move Your Session Box
With Kuala, you're not limited to a single set of 4 tracks, oh no! You can move the session box around your entire project, giving you access to unlimited tracks. All in groups of 4 tracks. The left “CUE” and “PLAY" buttons move the session box left and right. Holding the left shift button changes them to up and down.![track select buttons](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/track-select.gif)
4 Track - Track Select
The left set of 4 LED buttons control "track select" for each track inside the session box. They display red when the track is selected or off when not selected. If you need further controls for a specific track, select it here then use the central mixer for more in-depth selected track controls (see "selected track control" section for details).![free customisable pads](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/slicer-and-sampler.jpg)
Free Pads For Further Customising
“SLICER” and “SAMPLER” modes on the left 16 pads are free. This gives you a total of 32 pads that you can add your own extra controls to. You can do this using Ableton’s internal midi mapping mode or load your script into Remotify’s script creator app and directly customise it (remotify pro account required).![auto arm tracks in ableton](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/auto-arm.jpg)
Automatically Arm Tracks
When you select a track, Kuala automatically arms it inside Ableton. As soon as you select a track which contains a drum rack or instrument, you can instantly play midi notes into it. A great little workflow improvement!Shift Controls
![hercules p32 dj shift button](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/shift.jpg)
There are 2 “SHIFT” buttons on the Hercules P32 DJ. When pressed, they change the functions of certain buttons (detailed with each control on this page). It's important to note that the left "SHIFT" only affects controls on the left side of the controller and right "SHIFT" changes functionality for the right side.
Tempo/BPM Control
![left size adjust encoder](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/tempo-encoder.gif)
Tempo & Fine Grained Tempo Control
The left "SIZE/ADJUST" encoder controls the tempo of your project. Turning the encoder increases and decreases the tempo by 1 BPM for each “click" on the encoder. When the left ’shift’ button is held down, the encoder increases and decreases the tempo by 0.10bpm, allowing for more fine grained control.![left P32 DJ display](https://remotify.io/sites/default/files/pre-built-scripts/kuala/tempo-display.gif)
Tempo Display
The display next to the Tempo encoder displays your project's current tempo. As the screen is only capable of displaying 2 numbers, we've improvised a little. When the tempo is under 100 it simply displays 2 digits When the tempo is between 100 & 199 it will display a dot between the two digits (i.e. a tempo of 127bpm = 2.7) When the tempo is between 200 and 299, it will display a dot after the digits (i.e. 225 = 25.) When the tempo is 300 and over, it displays two dots (i.e. 350 = 3.5.) When the left shift button is pressed, the display switches to show the current decimal value of the tempo.Transport & Recording

Turning it to the right doubles the length of the selected clip and copies all of the notes so you instantly have a longer loop for i.e. adding fills to. Turn it to the left and the loop's length is halved.Loop Length Display
The display next to the right "SIZE/ADJUST" encoder shows you the loop length of the currently selected clipReviews
