Thank you Monolake (and others) for putting this out there! The good news is there are a few of them out there. Unfortunately, Live 10 Suite doesn't have one of these as a standard effect that comes with suite. You can now draw/edit the automation across time in the arrangement view. The only real solution is to use a Max4Live effect which captures your CC data from your controller and forwards them on to the plugin. But this is less than ideal as now you have arrangement-style envelopes in two different places with two different workflows. How you would have to set this up is to create a new MIDI clip (probably on a different track) that is the length of your change and then use clip envelopes as solger says above. It's just dumb.Ĭlip envelopes aren't a good solution because chances are you have small clips and want slow changes to occur across a longer time period. Then add an envelope for the "Speaker on" function to get perfect timing.In case anyone is searching the internet for an actually helpful answer (like I did) and comes across this, Live 10 inexplicably *still* doesn't allow CC messages from a controller through the host (Live) to a plugin and capture that as automation in the arrangement view. So I would recommend sending the signal a beat or so earlier than when you need it. And calibrated the MIDI mapping such that the events from this device would arm or disarm whatever I want.ĮDIT : Keep in mind that there is a certain amount of latency associated with this feedback method. I configured it as a MIDI device and I sent the output of the dummy track to it. It's a MIDI feedback device that you can send MIDI information to and it simply gives it back to whomever it may concern. Fortunately, this guy called Tobias Erichsen has created a tool that facilitates exactly that. Now all I had to do was figure out a way to make Ableton think the MIDI information on the track is coming from an external device. So I set up a dummy track containing the MIDI events that would trigger the required action at the right time.
But it needs to receive that event from an external source. So basically Ableton has a feature where you can map tasks like arming or disarming a track onto a MIDI event (CTRL+M).
