Hi Marco, I've downloaded and followed the directions, but I can't get it to work. My CC121 works great in Cubase, so I know I have the drivers/AC power correctly in place. When I went to install, I didn't see an Ableton folder in ProgramData, so I created the folder structure myself. Currently, I see the CC121 device under Input and Output in the MIDI menu, but I don't see it under the "Control Surface" menu. Nothing is lighting up and the motorized fader isn't working (I do have AC power plugged in). Is there a way to do a full reset of Ableton so that it can self generate that ProgramData folder?

Hi Marco... I've just acquired a CC121 and wish to use with Live... Running Mac OSX10.13.6 Live 9.7.7 (64bit) Certain I have installed, Tools, USB Driver, Firmware update for CC121 as required. Placed the custom midimap files in the correct place, Live sees the control surface and I select it, then... Nothing happens! CC121 just flashed blue 'cubase ready' light and does not control Live... What could be wrong? Will search Forum, but if anyone here knows why, please share!

Well, I Think Ive sussed it out by renaming the folder in the remote settings to "Steinberg_CC121" works now :) I think the _ underscore makes a differnence

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 about 1 year 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 almost 2 years ago

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