Controlling Ableton Live
The Live Automap template works as follows:
The pots and bottom left-hand row of buttons on the ReMOTE SL are not assigned to any parameters in Live however they
are set to send MIDI CC messages, meaning that you can assign them to parameters in Live as you like using Live’s MIDI
learn feature (click on ‘MIDI’ in the top right-hand corner of the Live window).
To select a plug-in in Live for hardware control from the ReMOTE SL, click on the Device Title Bar using the mouse,
as shown:
The plug-in parameters will then appear on the left-hand ReMOTE SL display. Use the LEFT-HAND SCROLL buttons to scroll
through pages of plug-in parameters. The 8 encoders can be used to control the parameters shown and the top left-hand
row of buttons can be used to return them to their default value or, for the ‘DeviceOn’ parameter, toggle the plug-in on/off.
To lock the ReMOTE SL to the currently selected plug-in, press the ROW-SELECT button for the upper left-hand buttons.
The LED next to the button will light to indicate that the ReMOTE SL is locked to a plug-in in Live. Press the ROW-SELECT
button for the upper left-hand buttons again to unlock the ReMOTE SL.
How to Trigger Impulse from the ReMOTE SL Drum Pads
On the Ableton Live Automap template the drum pads are, by default, mapped to MIDI notes C1-G1. Impulse’s samples can
be triggered using the notes C3, D3, E3, F3, G3, A3, B3 and C4. To trigger Impulse from the ReMOTE SL drum pads you
must change the note values that the drum pads send out. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the EDIT mode button and hit the drum pad whose settings you want to change, then release the EDIT
mode button.
2. Set the Note parameter to the new value.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all other drum pads.
4. Press WRITE 3 times to save the settings and then the PLAY mode button to return to Play mode.
