I'm using a MMGT 10 to control an Ableton Live session for acoustic shows. The 2 audio channels in my Live session are designated for ambient backing tracks, and click tracks for their respective songs. Although there are no presets in this instance with the GT for any other devices, what I'd like to see happen, is that I can call up any Ableton scene for a song, by actually selecting a MMGT song within a setlist song menu. I've seen this work by simply using IA buttons, however, I need to be able to keep my songs organized in setlists for my shows, and you can't have setlists for IA buttons.
So right now, I'm attempting to do this by assigning a preset action for each individual preset that will make up a song on the GT, to send a note to the Ableton session to pull up the song, then I can hit play (with an IA button that I made) when ready.
My biggest problem is MIDI mapping in Ableton. I seem to be unable to assign each scene to it's own note/preset button. If anyone has some experience doing this, your help would be very appreciated. Let me know what you got!
