Title: Changing Midi Note to CC
Post by Perradiddle on Feb 16^th, 2015, 3:10pm

Hi, I'm using a Midi fighter Specter to control Ableton Live as a fancy transport interface. I'm a drummer, I have it configured to to switch between scenes ect so I have a click to play to for every song.

Ideally I'd like to be able to adjust the master tempo while it's playing by 1 BPM increments. The info it needs midi mapping wise is CC.. My Spectre can only send single note messages using buttons.

Is there a way to get 2 buttons to make one UP 1 BPM and another Down 1 BPM using Midi OX?

Hi

In Live there is a nudge up and down that can be mapped to note messages.

You can also map a note to Tempo and the velocity (how fast you press the key) data is used to set the tempo. I don't know if your buttons are velocity sensitive.

Other than Live's nudge, to do what you want you want you need to have the current tempo stored in a variable and when your buttons are tapped the variable would be increased or decreased and the output sent to Live's tempo, most likely as a CC value.

MidiOx has a scripting facility that would probably do this.
Of course you could also use Max For Live to also program this.

Unfortunately I can't think of a simple solution for this seemingly simple problem except to write a program to do it.

All the best
