[MIDI Remote Script] Python baseline [Control Surface] extends the _framework instance of the experimental, undocumented, and officially unsupported API for Ableton. This particular script is very simple in the functions currently provided, but this is pivotal in establishing a clean, usable, and well thought out pattern for building MIDI control surfaces.
Got another Launchpad (actually 2 – long story). Fun unit. Clunky, does not have a long life in my world- getting the 2 year Guitar Center serious abuse plan.
Did you know that many manufacturers warranties do not cover professional abuse?
Way to take care of the pros right…?
So when you swap that item you broke at the gig do wipe off the beer and tell them you were working in your basement alone.

The release of the APC40 was the jumping in point I required. This changed the whole game because I was not having the time (or ambition) to sit down and build / program a controller for Ableton.
So, what I am thinking? Well here’s the fast notes…
