just click the midi button. then click the thing you want to control. then move the knob/fader you want to use

[techno_smack]

yes but what do u select the device as if it isnt listed?

its probably just generically named as "controller 1" thats how my behringer shows up.

there are some half decent tutorials on manual midi mapping - worth a look

i have been looking at loads of stuff cant figure it out at all.

i just selected tranzport in ableton and most buttons seem to work.

i dont mind manual midding maping at all, id rather do that than use a preset. i just want to know how u add the info for new control surfaces into abletons list or wat u select for this midi keyboard .
