Ableton/Live/UG/25 Racks/07 Using the Macro Controls/01 Map Mode

• 25.7.1 Map Mode

  • 
  • The Map button in the Macro view turns on Macro Map Mode: mappable parameters get a coloured overlay, Map buttons appear under each Macro, and the Mapping Browser opens.
  • To map, click a device parameter, then a Macro's Map button. The Macro takes the parameter's name and units. Set the range with Min and Max in the Mapping Browser; Min above Max, or Invert Range, inverts it. Click Map again to finish.
  • A mapped parameter is greyed out, controlled by the Macro, though clip envelopes can still modulate it.
  • Edit or delete mappings in the Mapping Browser while Map Mode is on.
  • A Macro with several parameters reverts to a generic name (such as "Macro 3") and a 0–127 scale unless all share the same units and range.
  • Macros can be renamed, coloured and given info text from the Edit or context menu.
