Haxor is back in mapping business and this time he looked into Native Instruments Maschine Jam and it's template for controlling Ableton Live 9.x.
Disabled so called 'user_mode' that was conflicting other functionality
Added Audio & MIDI Effect loading
Fixed device parameter mapping into touch strips
"I just got an NI Maschine Jam device some weeks ago and I noticed that the Ableton Live template was really buggy..."
This is where it all started from - bit of decompiling, reverse engineering how the template was created, learning Live's API and so on. And now some days later we have a new template.
"This mapping is just fixed and bit enhanced version of what Native Instruments created years ago."
Following issues has been fixed from the original template:
Shift + B used to toggle user_mode that was conflicting with Solo/Arm/Mute functionality when user wanted to work on multiple track with Shift button. Now the user_mode is disabled and Solo/Arm/Mute works as expected.
Device Parameter loading into touch strips is now working even some device functionality is disabled. There was an issue of pages not getting loaded because not all parameters were available in the device. (eg. Filter Frequency is not mappable before the Filter is On)
As a new feature you can now load both the MIDI and Audio Effects from the NI Jam controller into selected track in Ableton Live. Here is how it works: Go to clip / session mode and select a track you want to add an effect into. Then press Shift and now the 8x8 Pad Matrix will light up the active buttons:
Row 1: Undo, Redo, Quant, Quant 50%, Semi-, Semi+, Oct-, Oct+
Row 3: Arpeggiator, Chords, MIDI FX Rack, Note Length, Pitch, Random, Scale, Velocity
Row 4: Amp, Audio FX Rack, Auto Pan, Beat Repeat, Cabin, Chorus, Coprus, Dynamic Tube
Row 5: EQ Three, Erosion, External FX, Flanger, Frequency Shifter, Gate, Glue Compressor, Grain Delay
Row 6: Limiter, Looper, Multiband Dynamics, Overdrive, Phaser, Ping Pong Delay, Redux, Resonator
Row 8: Auto Filter, EQ Eight, Compressor, Reverb, Delay, Filter Delay, Spectrum, Utility
Note: if you try to add MIDI effect (from row 3) into Audio track - then new MIDI track is created.
