Pre-Sales Question

I hope I can make this concise and understandable. I need to know if Remotify can help me do this.

If I have an instrument rack within a track that has an instance of let’s say Omnisphere. Within Omnisphere in multi-mode is a mixer that I can map each of the channels with an external controller. If I duplicate that same track to another track, anything that I mapped in track 1 will move in track two as well. So, even if I am playing within the instance of track one, if I move the fader that changes the volume of first channel in Omnisphere, it will change the volume of the first channel in Omnisphere of track two as welll.

What I want to do is have these tracks be mapped independently so that only when the current track is selected through a chain that the midi mapping will only change on that track and not affect any other tracks.

I hope this all makes sense because I want to make sure this will do what I need it to before I buy Pro.

I doubt it.

Remotify simplifies making a SCRIPT for the controller so that it operates within live in powerful ways - so that 8 faders can be used to control 128 channels simply by navigating track by track or page by page, for example, or so that the session box can be represented in your controller and move and even light up as you navigate or so that you can have up to 16 different mappings for the same controller using modes.

it cannot map where ableton will not map, however.

Ableton TRANSLATES the mapping to work in the interface using the script that Remotify helps you build. If you cannot make the mapping you are talking about with Ableton, Remotify cannot do it either. It seems like - with your controller - when Midi Note 93 comes in, if it is mapped to that controller it always controls that controller and that controller always mirrors the movement of copied tracks.

That seems like a limitation of your controller (although it sounds like an unlikely one. Perhaps the tracks can be unlinked after they are copied. If so, then Remotify can turn those mapping into more powerful scripts for you.)

Best,

Hi steveeller,

Are you able to map the multi-mode's mixer to the macro knobs of the instrument rack or even add them as parameters to the "configure" area? (you see this when you press the little triangle button next to the on button of your device).
If you can do those, then in Remotify you'll be able to create "Device Parameter" mappings for the selected track and control each instance of your Omnisphere with the same set of controls.

p.s. thanks for your input in too picky-picasso, its very much appreciated :)

Thanks

John
