Haxor & Roxor

Hello all JAM users. Now you can finally turn your JAM into MIDI controller for Ableton Live 11. Cut the crap: MIDI controller scripts for Ableton Live can now be downloaded from https://gumroad.com/l/hxr-jam-11-r10

Please note that this release has nothing to do with Native Instruments and is provided without any real support.
Naturally I will personally try to help you with any issues that may come up.

Haxor just upgraded the Ableton Live to version 10 and once again he needed to take a look into Native Instruments Maschine Jam template for controlling Ableton. For Live 9 - see previous post. 

What’s there? 

As with previous version - the main goal was to fix the issue with User Mode that was conflicting other functionality (Shift + B - for example in Solo and Arm modes). The User Mode is still there - now it is toggled with Shift + Tune button.  

There is also new mode now to load Audio Effects, Midi Effects and Instruments. This Load Mode is available via Shift + Swing button. By default it opens up Audio Effect loading but you can switch pages with Swing button; in the other page you can load MIDI Effects and Instruments (works only for MIDI tracks obviously - if Audio Track is selected then new MIDI track will be created with selected Instrument / MIDI Effect).

TIP: if you press Shift while you load Effect or Instrument - it automatically exits from the Load Mode.

Last but not least there is new layout in Pad Mode - called HXR Vertical. It works basically the same way as Isomorphic Sequential mode works inside Maschine. You can find it inside Pad Mode with Shift + Left/Right keys.

Instructions

1. Download package & extract the zip
2. Open Controller Editor and install HXR Jam 10.ncmj template
   
3. Copy HXR Jam10 folder into Ableton Live 10 MIDI scripts folder
4. Open Ableton Live 10 and select HXR Jam10 for your Control Surface
5. Enjoy!

Shortcuts

• Shift + Swing: enter/exit Load Mode
• Swing: toggle page (first: Audio Effects, second: MIDI Effects + Instruments)
• Shift + grid pad: Load selected Effect or Instrument and exit Load Mode

• Pad Mode
• Shift + Left/Right: select Keyboard Layout

• Shift + Tune: enter/exit User Mode
• if anyone uses this - please let me know how this is supposed to work. :)

Haxor is back in mapping business and this time he looked into Native Instruments Maschine Jam and it’s template for controlling Ableton Live 9.x.

• Disabled so called ‘user_mode’ that was conflicting other functionality
• Added Audio & MIDI Effect loading
• Fixed device parameter mapping into touch strips

“I just got an NI Maschine Jam device some weeks ago and I noticed that the Ableton Live template was really buggy…" 

This is where it all started from - bit of decompiling, reverse engineering how the template was created, learning Live’s API and so on. And now some days later we have a new template. 

"This mapping is just fixed and bit enhanced version of what Native Instruments created years ago.”

Following issues has been fixed from the original template:

Shift + B used to toggle user_mode that was conflicting with Solo/Arm/Mute functionality when user wanted to work on multiple track with Shift button. Now the user_mode is disabled and Solo/Arm/Mute works as expected.

Device Parameter loading into touch strips is now working even some device functionality is disabled. There was an issue of pages not getting loaded because not all parameters were available in the device. (eg. Filter Frequency is not mappable before the Filter is On)

As a new feature you can now load both the MIDI and Audio Effects from the NI Jam controller into selected track in Ableton Live. Here is how it works: Go to clip / session mode and select a track you want to add an effect into. Then press Shift and now the 8x8 Pad Matrix will light up the active buttons:

• Row 1: Undo, Redo, Quant, Quant 50%, Semi-, Semi+, Oct-, Oct+
• Row 3: Arpeggiator, Chords, MIDI FX Rack, Note Length, Pitch, Random, Scale, Velocity
• Row 4: Amp, Audio FX Rack, Auto Pan, Beat Repeat, Cabin, Chorus, Coprus, Dynamic Tube
• Row 5: EQ Three, Erosion, External FX, Flanger, Frequency Shifter, Gate, Glue Compressor, Grain Delay
• Row 6: Limiter, Looper, Multiband Dynamics, Overdrive, Phaser, Ping Pong Delay, Redux, Resonator
• Row 7: Saturator, Tuner
• Row 8: Auto Filter, EQ Eight, Compressor, Reverb, Delay, Filter Delay, Spectrum, Utility

Note: if you try to add MIDI effect (from row 3) into Audio track - then new MIDI track is created.

If you have any comments, ideas or if you find any bugs - please let me know and I will try to fix those. :)

Happy Jamming!
