I really love the feel of the Base I just got, but am confused by the mapping and banks (in the editor).
In Ableton 9.1, there are User Modes 1-4... What are these exactly? Coded in Live script, or a preset (bank?) on the Base Hardware to edit separate? How can I further customize these separate user modes? (Script or online livid editor correspondance?)
Wondering generally, why do elements send both cc messages and note messages? (Sliders?) Seems like traffic to me. In Ableton, it seems the Base must be on Bank 1. Could I take out some "redundant" assignments retaining full function? How does this work? (and OSC messages enabled? I'm lost. Is there a reference available?)
Or do the presets have cc and note so that all mode types work inside ableton? The remote scripts are still quite obscure. Due to my setup it would be best if the launch page was shifted by default. Any quick ideas?
Am I better off digging/editing scripts, or messing in M4L for maximum control? (Need to reinstall broken M4L...)
Also, been looking about mapping to transport, loop/transport position maybe even having touch strips as VU meters... Can someone give me a quick break down of how this unit connects and communicates with ableton at a raw level? (Not sure about protocols, and live scripting...)
