487 MIDI and Key Remote Control
26.2.5 Computer Keyboard Remote Control
The Key Map Mode Switch.
Creating control surface assignments for your computer keyboard is straightforward:
1. Enter Key Map Mode by pressing the KEY switch in the upper right-hand corner of the
Live screen. Notice that the assignable elements of the interface become highlighted in red
when you enter Key Map Mode. The Mapping Browser will also become available. If the
Browser is hidden, you will want to show it at this point using the appropriate View menu
command.
2. Click on the Live parameter that you wish to assign to a key. Remember that only the con-
trols that are shown with a red overlay are available for mapping.
3. Press the computer key to which you wish to assign the control. The details of your new
mapping will be displayed in the Mapping Browser.
4. Leave Key Map Mode by pressing Live’s KEY switch once again. The Mapping Browser
will disappear, but your mappings can be reviewed at any time simply by entering Key
Map Mode again.
Keyboard assignments can produce the following effects in Live:
•Clips in Session View slots will be affected by mapped keys according to their Launch
Mode settings (page 162).
•Keys assigned to switches will toggle switch states.
•Keys assigned to radio buttons will toggle through the available options.
Please be sure not to confuse this remote control functionality with Live’s ability to use the com-
puter keyboard as a pseudo-MIDI keyboard (page 174) that can generate MIDI notes from
computer keystrokes for use with instruments.
