Ableton Live 12.1 Controller Remote Scripts update
We need new controller Scripts for Ableton Live 12.1 for Maschine Studio, Jam, Mk2, Mikro Mk2!!!!! All controllers.

Struggling with Komplete Audio 6 Mk2 on Mac Mini M4 and Ableton Live
I recently got a Mac Mini M4 and have been having a nightmare trying to get my Komplete Audio 6 Mk2 to work with Ableton Live.

Midi setup for Maschine 2 in Ableton Live 11
Hi, I have an issue with Maschine 2 in Ableton Live 11; I can play the sounds of a Maschine drum kit, but I cannot record midi in Ableton Live. I can record midi events from a Maschine drum kit with my Komplete S61 keyboard. So I guess my midi setup of Maschine in Live is wrong or something is missing.

Firmware 1.8.7 with bugs?
I loaded the new firmware today. The DAW button on the Kontrol S88 Mk3 is now inactive and it is no longer possible to control the DAW (Ableton12: change tracks, mixer, mute, etc.). Switching from MIDI 1.0 to 2.0 and even a factory reset did not help. I therefore assume that there is an error or that something has…
MIDI Learning the Next/Previous Preset Buttons when using GR as a plugin
Is this not possible at all or just an Ableton thing? I can't use the standard Ableton method of using the Configure button on the plugin to learn it into Ableton. Pressing the next preset button in GR adds several items to the device in Ableton. The idea is to use a foot switch to cycle through presets.
