Using knob to control LFO rate in Operator

Post by hiflier »

This is my third day using Lemur or any type of controller for that matter, so bear with me.
I've been able to get knobs to control macros on Live, increment by increment, it works fine.
Now I have a sound coming through Operator in Live, and I want to control the LFO rate with a knob, except when I MIDI Map the knob to the LFO, it doesn't let me move it in increments. It just goes from the minimum value when I am not touching it, to the max value when I am pressing it, no matter where the knob might be placed. I have the knob set to grid with 6 positions, here are some screen shots. http://imgur.com/1yjg4QT,eRhtoB1#0

Sounds like you accidentally mapped the "z" expression instad of the "x" expression of the knob.....

Z goes full when the knob is touched, 0 when un-touched....in the mappings, select z and set its target to none. Remap the knob now in Ableton Live. ;)

My assumption is confirmed by your images......your knob's "x" shows CC 15 in the Lemur editor. Now observe the mapping in Live....it displays CC 16.....Im willing to bet, your knob's "z" is set to CC 16 ;)

Furthermore, you cant have a knob's "z" active in Lemur and then map the knob in Live. Why? Because as soon as you touch the knob it sends the z so z is mapped instewad of x. If you want to use both, first set the z target to none, map the knob in Live, THEN set the knob's z to a target.

OOORRRR

TOUCH the knob with z active, THEN enable midi learn in Live, and wiggle the knob, making sure that Live receives the x instead of z to be mapped.
