I want to have my endless encoder permanently mapped to Macro 1 of a Device - eg 1st control in the Unify Device, in the screenshot, called L1-Perc. That bit I have working.
Now I want to have the name of that macro (L1-Perc in the example), display on my Intech controller (ie where ti currently says Endless8). As I change the preset in the Ableton Unify Device, and the name of the Macro 1 changes, I want that to update on the Intech Screen.
Is this possible? Can someone point me to some resources that will assist in setting it up ....if it's possible.

kkerti · May be doable with the in-the-works abletonjs package. But I'll need to make some adjustments there. Anything else to add here?
Pottz · The only thing to add (at this stage😎 ) would be the Receiving back of midi from the mapped parameter. I will add a new post for that as you suggested in the other post I hi-jacked.
kkerti · As you mention "change preset on unify", will the first parameter there change to something else?
kkerti · How do you change preset on Unify?
kkerti · The only issue I see is that how is Ableton (specifically the underlying integration) be alerted that the preset has been changed and a new macro 1 value is present
Pottz · I change the preset on Unify by sending a Program Change through Ableton: Midi Bank, Sub Bank and Program. Because the 1st 8 macro devices for Unify are mapped to the 1st 8 Macro knobs of Unify, these will change to reflect the internal mapping of Unify. Currently on my Push3 controller, then I have Unify selected, the 8 Macro knobs will have the same name as the 8 macros in Unify, when I change the preset, these 8 knobs names update to reflect the names of the 8 macros in Unify (and permanently mapped to the 1st 8 in Ableton)
Pottz · I have been reading through the guides - is that the best place for me to start? I find I have many questions arising from reading those guides, should I post those here? or start a new questions thread with the questions?
