Setup a Midi Controller in Ableton Live - Step by step

- The keyboards in this video -

In this video I show you how to properly map the knobs or faders on your midi keyboard to any Ableton device or third-party plugins. I’ve searched everywhere for a video like this, but never found it. This video will show you how to map the knobs on your midi keyboard to any virtual instrument or effects plugin in Ableton Live. This works for ANY keyboard. I show you how to set your keyboard, test out the knobs, and also how to create a user remote script (midi remote script) so that your keyboard will always control Ableton devices. This is how the world should be - simple, fun, and loving…but I digress. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below. Make the music you love!

i honestly don't know what i'd do without you man. you are one of very few people that can teach in a way that is easy to understand. everyone else teaches like we should already know all about it which is baffling

4 years later and this video is still helping us out, thanks!

Thank you so much Sanjay! You keep hitting the point of knowledge I'm lacking in. Keep up the good work!

It’s amazing to hear the different music you come up with each time! I felt like I was in a VR Transportal Sci-fi adventure where only good things happen! Love!!!!

This video suddenly became top of my saved/watch later list. Thank you! I'm using an Arturia Keylab MkII 61 with Ableton Live 11 - as a live performer for a couple of years now . I learned that I've been mapping the Korg Triton, and Roland XV3080 VSTs incorrectly since I watched this. LIfesaver. Cheers to your content, Sanjay!

Sanjay, you are a true lifesaver. I was trying so hard to figure out how to assign the cc controls on my Akai MPK88 to my third party software instruments. Then I found this video and it all became clear and simple. Thank you so much. You are awesome. 🙏

[palakchaudhary]

This video solved my problem. Thank you so much man 🙏❤️

[howzee]

I’ve got an Akai MPC249 and this could be the most valuable bit of information I’ve learnt. I’ve struggled to find mapping tutorials, thanks very much 🤜🏽👈🏽

[GalacticTravelers]

Really good information here, especially on saving custom maps for 3rd party VST's... Much appreciated man!

[ecristalcristal]

Finally! Someone made this video! And it

[quicksynths]

Super helpful video, thank you. Been trying to sort this for ages and never found a way that Ableton would reliably save midi mappings for my Launchkey - but this is really quick and works - thanks!

[xdrabbit]

Sanjay you are the man! I have been struggling to find this info. Thank you!!

[DoctorJRx]

The midi mapping feature in Ableton is fantastic !!
