titleStep Four: Put Ableton in Midi Map mode, and map the parameters

  • Back in Ableton, switch to Midi Map mode by clicking the MIDI button at the top right of the Ableton window, or by using the keyboard shortcuts Command-M (Mac) or Control-M (Windows)

  • Click the Pitch parameter in the Grain Delay window. This selects it with a rectangle.

  • Switch back to the Hub, and click the first Send CC button to map the X axis to Grain Delay Pitch

  • Switch back to Ableton, and click the Frequency parameter in the Grain Delay Window to select it

  • Switch back to the Hub, and click the second Send CC button to map the Y axis to Grain Delay Frequency

  • Follow suit to map the reverb.. In Ableton, click the Reverb Dry/Wet parameter to select it, and in the Hub click the third Send CC button to map the Z axis to Reverb Dry/Wet

  • In Ableton, you should now see three items in the Midi Mappings panel on the left.

    • If you do not, please review the previous steps to be sure you haven’t missed anything.

  • Exit Midi Map mode by clicking the MIDI button at the top right of the Ableton window, or by using the keyboard shortcuts Command-M (Mac) or Control-M (Windows)

Remember to press the PURPLE panel when Midi mapping. For example, if you are MIDI-mapping pitch in the Grain-Delay, press the box that includes the current pitch, not the box that says, “Pitch.”
