Hello,

Any chance of getting LiveControl 2 Controller template to work with Ableton Live 11 that was released today?
I copied the files over to correct location on Mac, but LiveControl 2 is not listed under Control Surfaces.
Apparently this is due to Ableton 11 only supporting Python 3, and this is not the only controller rendered non functional.

Thanks for any help!

Yeah, that would be amazing.

When we acquired Lemur, we also received the LiveControl project—it just hasn’t been published yet. The original plan was to release it on the User Library once that went back online. As far as we know, it was maintained up to Ableton Live 9 or 10. We aren’t in a position to maintain it ourselves, but if there’s interest, we could post it on GitHub as an open-source project for the community. Is that something that people would be interested in?

please do that! i'll try updating the template

I'd say that there are high chances that the Live API has changed and we'd have to modify those Python scripts and project much more than just converting them to Python 3.

Some years ago I modified the LiveControl2 project and Python scripts. Have them integrated in my own Lemur project. Added some features and removed some others. I didn't know any Python, but the hardest part was to figure out how the Live API worked. Modify the script, reload the Control Surface on Live and check the log.txt file. And then repeat, lots of times. I must say that I have forgotten most of how I did it. I'll try to make and share some screenshots of my version.

I'm still working with Live 9, but I'd consider upgrading to a newer version if we can get the Python scripts to work.
