Ableton/Live/UG/34 MIDI and Key Remote/02 The Mapping Browser/03 Mapping to Absolute MIDI Controllers
- Absolute controllers send values from 0 to 127. The result depends on what they are mapped to:
- Session View slots — 64 and above act as Note On, 63 and below as Note Off.
- Track activators and device on/off switches — a value inside the mapping's Min–Max range turns the switch on; outside it turns it off. Setting Min above Max reverses that.
- Other switches, such as transport controls — 64 and above on, below 64 off.
- Radio buttons — 0–127 is spread across the options.
- Continuous controls — 0–127 is spread across the parameter's range.
- Pitch bend and 14-bit absolute controllers (0–16383) work the same way, with the center at 8191/8192.
