  • Volume and pan of tracks and chains
  • Chain and drum pad selection
  • Drum pad audition (trigger of selected drum pad, can be recorded)
  • Start session record
  • Start automation record of manual parameter moves and reactivate automation
  • Record all parameter automations done with the CC121
  • Device selection, bypass, enable on/off, expand, collapse (single or all devices of a track)

  • Switch between Session View and Arrangement View
  • Switch between Clip View and Device View
  • Clip selection, start, stop
  • Scene selection, start, stop
  • Quantize 50%, 75%, 100%

Hi Marco Thanks for your tremendous effort to create the script. I’ve been looking for a good DAW controller and the cc121 looks perfect. I’ve got one on order and really excited to get it running with your script!! Thanks again Paul.

Hello Paul, your welcome. Are you going to use the cc121 with Live only or with Cubase as wel?

I've loved using this with Live 9. I downloaded version 2.0 and installed it, but it doesn't work in Live 10 (not beta, but release version). Still works in Live 9. should I uninstall version 1.0 first?

Hey Tony, I installed it on a fresh computer, Live 10.0.1 on a Windows 64bit version and it did work fine. What does mean: "it doesn't work"? Did you install it in the Live 10 folder "Midi Remote Scripts" (add folder SteinbergCC121 manually)? You need to add the Live 10 version only into that SteinbergCC121 folder. Is the SteinbergCC121 displayed in the Options-Midi page? Check the log file for any errors related to SteinbergCC121 and RemoteScriptMessage and send it to me. You can find the logfile here: c:\users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live 10.0.1\Preferences\log.txt

thanks much for your help. Yeah, I did all of those things right. Initially, I had not added it to Live 10 folder, but even after I did, it doesn't function. If I turn Track on in the MIDI I/Os, the CC121 buttons will play MIDI notes, but not do any of the remote functions, even though Remote is on. where can I send you the log? here is a snippet: RemoteScriptError: AssertionError 2018-02-10T11:55:04.231930: info: RemoteScriptError: : 2018-02-10T11:55:04.231986: info: RemoteScriptError: Registry key (176, 5) registered twice.

Hey, Marco, thanks so much for your help via email. I did a clean reinstall of Live 10 and it works fine now. Must have been a strange gremlin causing problems. Love your script!
