Ableton RC Surface v0.5.7 — Release Notes

This release introduces major new features that turn any mobile phone browser into a low-latency controller and sensor modulator for Ableton Live, featuring in-browser parameter mapping, MIDI note triggering, and deep synchronization.

Key Additions

  • Mobile MAP Mode: Phone users can bind controls (pads, knobs, faders, XY axes) directly to Live parameters from the phone screen without opening the Ableton panel interface.
  • Hierarchical Mobile Target Picker: Live parameters are dynamically listed in a structured hierarchy (Song/Master, normal tracks, return tracks, devices, and parameters) for clean, fast selection.
  • Mobile MIDI Trigger Notes: Trigger MIDI notes on a selected MIDI track using the included RC-Midi-Receiver.amxd Max for Live device, featuring real-time pitch, octave, and velocity editing.
  • Performance UTIL Column: The PERF tab now exposes snapshot slots 1-4, CAP (capture), and OFF for fast performance actions.
  • XY Axis Mapping: XY pads now support independent mappings for both X and Y axes in the mobile mapping editor.
  • Visual Metronome & Transport Overlay: Flashes the header metronome button in sync with Ableton's beat, and features a full-screen transport control overlay (TRN button) to control playhead, locators, and search lists.
  • Response Curve Preview: Visual feedback on the mobile mapping editor featuring a 2D curve canvas and real-time moving dot.

Improvements & Fixes

  • Performance OFF Reset: Resets LFOs, stutters, pads, centered XY pads, and active morphs without touching mixer controls or transport.
  • Modulator Transition Morphing: Modulators and morphs now drive mapped Live values during the morph transition instead of jumping directly to the final state.
  • Stable Sync & LFOs: Fallback to continuous LFO when transport is stopped to prevent freeze, and smoother sync beats.
  • Conflict Picker: Overlay conflicts resolve cleanly, and duplicate note trigger binds are checked.

Installation & Setup

  1. Double-click Ableton-RC-Surface-0.5.7.ablx to install.
  2. (Optional): Copy RC-Midi-Receiver.amxd into your Ableton User Library (User Library/Presets/MIDI Effects/Max MIDI Effect/).
