There are plenty more Ableton Live tutorials where this one came from. Happy MIDI controlling in Live! And of course, if you have feedback or questions, leave me a comment below. The following blog is dedicated to this subject: Of course, if you know Python or are willing to learn it, you could write your own scripts.

This might save you a lot of time doing manual mappings. Do a Google search for: *name of the MIDI controller* MIDI remote script. Control Surface) for various MIDI controllers. Quite a few nifty users have written their own MIDI remote scripts (a.k.a. If there's no Control Surface for your controller officially available, there's still the chance there's an user created one.
Then simply set them up as if there was no Control Surface available and map the controls as desired. You can also manually map controllers that do offer a Control Surface.Once finished, click on the MIDI button again.You can set the Min and Max for the parameter if available. In the Browser (left) you will see the MIDI mappings you made. Repeat the steps with whatever else you want to map.Click on the parameter you want to control, then move the knob/fader or hit the key/pad on your device you want to control it with.
Everything that's mappable will now be displayed in blue.Turn on MIDI mapping by clicking on the MIDI button in the upper right hand corner of Live or choose Cmd + M (Mac) or Ctrl + M (Windows).Controllers without a Control Surface for which you've enabled the Remote button, need manual mappings to be used.If it sends visual or physical feedback, the Remote button of its output needs to be turned on as well.In Live 11, if your controller offers MPE support, you can turn it on under MPE.To use your controller to adjust device parameters, enable its input's Remote button.keyboard, drum pads), enable the Track button for the device's input. To use your controller to play notes (i.e.Don't despair though, it's not rocket science! You'll have to set it up under MIDI Ports instead. If there's no Control Surface available for your controller, ignore the upper part in the MIDI/Sync tab.If you're unsure how, check its manual for instructions. Make sure your controller is ready to receive the preset dump. If so, the 'Dump' button becomes enabled. Some controllers require a preset dump.If Input and Output are shown in reddish, Live cannot detect the device (unplugged, off, broken driver). If it's a keyboard, also turn on Track for its Input under MIDI Ports. If this is the case for your controller (List of all MIDI controllers with available Control Surfaces), choose the Control Surface for it as well its Input and Output. Control Surfaces are available for the most commonly used MIDI controllers.

If you don't have a MIDI controller, head over to the tutorial that explains a way to use the computer keyboard instead.

Plug and play only means that you don't need to install any drivers for it. well, you still need to set it up in Live. If you bought a MIDI controller that is supposed to be plug and play. Before you can start having fun with your MIDI controller, it needs to be configured in Live - this goes for MIDI keyboards and all sorts of other controllers sending MIDI data.
