New Shortcuts for APC 25 (Edited by Dmitry Lozinsky): Clip buttons: one press - Record Clip second press - Play Clip double press - Delete Clip Press on playing - Stop Clip Shift+StopAllClips+ClipBut - Delete Clip Shift+Select - Undo Shift+ClipStop - Metronome on/off Rec - Record Clip Shift+Rec - Record Session
for controls used APC 25 keys (clipStop, Select), so if you need default functions of this buttons - you willbe upset. personally for me this setup is very good for live sessions
Installation: for install replace the files in folder "c:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 10 Suite\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts\APC_Key_25" by files from this repository for Ableton 11 target path is c:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 11 Suite\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts\APC_Key_25 (Don't forget to save your original files)
There are two versions of script:
- 3 rows for scenes, one row for solo and last one for mute buttons
- 5 rows for scenes without mute/solo buttons as well as in the original version from Akai By default, the first version will work. If you need the second (5 scenes) - rename the file APC_Key_25.py from repository to new name like APC_Key_25_3row.py and then rename APC_Key_25_5rows.py to APC_Key_25.py
Tested for Ableton 9 and 10.
Version for Ableton 11 is available.
