Current version is 0.3 – released July 6, 2014.
This MIDI Remote Script adds support for the DOEPFER Pocket Dial as a native Control Surface in Ableton Live – with a scrollable red-box, yay!
It currently supports:
- Bank 1: Mixer – Volume/Pan
- Bank 2: Mixer – Sends A/B
- Bank 3: Mixer – Sends C/D
- Bank 4: Device & Track Ctrl
More information can be found on the project’s homepage.
Download and install the MIDI Remote Script (see Installation).
On the Pocket Dial, select Preset 85 (Reaktor 0-15 Mchn) by setting the DIP selector to 00101010. Make sure, the Pocket Dial sends on channel 1 – press the CHN-Button and turn encoder 1 to set the global MIDI channel to 1.
Bank 1-3 control 8 Tracks. Bank 4 controls current device and current track:
- Device (Encoder 1-4, 9-12)
- Volume (13)
- Pan (5)
- Send A (6)
- Send B (14)
- Send C (7)
- Scroll Redbox (8)
- Selected Track (16)
