Currently I'm focusing on adding new feature and keeping this script works, so there is no plan to support MK2 unfortunately.

But if I answer to whether it's possible or not, mapping adjustment and redesigning modes which use display are needed to realize.

Hope someone fork my project and adapt it to MK2.

just installed but this is how my display still looks. Everything else works perfectly

Please try switching to an empty template from Controller Editor.
Then, hold SHIFT button and select KNOBS (push 3rd button from right-side).
Switch back to the CustomMaschineMK3 template from Controller Editor to see the display.

Due to technical limitations, you need to use Controller Editor to change the template.

@chiaki Just wanted to drop in to say thank you for this, it's amazing 👏👏👏

Thank you very much for your work!
Can I have one request? Moving playhead + scrubbing with this nice big knob would be amazing! :D

@chiaki - After a short testing period, I've found that the ability to change layouts from Maschine hardware is very important, and the lack of this option is currently the biggest drawback. Would it be possible to implement it? Maybe "Shift + Settings"?
Thank you in advance. It's still amazing job, and most shortcuts are very intuitive! :)

@Looms

You're welcome! Please enjoy making music with this template!

@Mike92

Press SHIFT+SWING to enter arrangement position control mode.
You can move the playhead by rotating big knob.
Also rewind and fast-forward are available from left and right button of big knob.

I already know why switching templates from hardware isn't possible… and it's hard to fix.
I disabled page function in Controller Editor to use group and left / right arrow buttons inside the script. This makes switching templates impossible.

I hope NI resolves this situation, despite having been 8 years since MK3 launched.

I see this has now been reviewed by Low Heat Beats on YouTube. Excellent work!

Congratulations on this work; it's really the script I was waiting for.
In addition, I'd like to be able to directly open or close a plugin like Komplete Kontrol by pressing a key.
When in DEVICE CONTROL, select the Device and click to open the plugin.

Thanks

@PK The DJ

I'm amazed at what happened since he reviewed. GitHub star count has doubled, so many people have commented on the script…

@JFMUSIQ

I want to control the opening and closing of a plugin window like you want…but Ableton doesn't offer an API to do this from a controller.

Audiio Kidd

His reviews is how I learned about your script.

Hi chiaki, i have downloaded the script fine, followed instructions for opening in control editor fine, but when i load up Ableton , the custom remote script is not showing as one of remote scripts , have copied and pasted in to user library , any ideas?

@simochef

Please check where you pasted the script again. If you're using macOS, the "Remote Scripts" folder name can be case sensitive.

Also, check "__pycache__" folder exists inside "CustomMaschineMK3" folder. This folder indicates that Ableton Live has recognized the script and tried to load it.
