  • 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)
  • Undo/redo
  • 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%
  • Free assignable controls: 1 rotary knob (VALUE knob at FUNCTION section) and foot switch

Hello Marco, I'm running ableton with a mac how do I intall this script for the cc121 ? Thank you for helping david.hattab@gmail.com
Marco Eugster 12 months ago

Hello David, I don't have a mac... Try this one and make sure, that the scripts are within the sub-folder SteinbergCC121 as described in my manual. https://sonicbloom.net/en/ableton-live-tutorial-how-to-install-midi-remote-scripts/

Wow this is great. I figured I'd take a break from Cubase 10 and use Live 10 with my Push 2, and I was so bummed as I was putting away my cc121, and now I found this. I definitely got to check it out. Maybe for once in my life, I can have my cake and eat it too. lol

Dude, I'm having my cake and eating it too!!! Thank you man. This is the best day ever!

Marco Eugster over 1 year ago

I'm glad to hear you like it. I didn't expect to help eating cake with this one...

Can this be used in conjunction with cubase as i use both platforms?
Marco Eugster over 1 year ago

Yes, however not in parallel. Either you use it with Abelton or with Cubase at a time.

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.
Marco Eugster about 2 years ago

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

tony over 2 years ago
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?
Marco Eugster over 2 years ago

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!
