Citation : According to this post the new update for Live 7 (7.02) will in fact contain
MIDI Surface Controller support for Faderfox LV1, LX1, LV2, LX2, LC2 & LD2!

there are implemented my own scripts

I was waiting a long time to get this thing from ableton.....without
success.
now I have developed my own scripts and these will be part of the next
updates of v 6 & 7.

yes

these scripts are one of the best remote supports
almost all functions on my controllers are supported by the scripts.

Citation : Things can only get better can only get better now I've found support

the support will be described in the LIVE lessons....I hope perfectly.

the support is very similar to my own template files.

for the LX2:
you should use the internaly setup 1 (description in the LX2 manual):

blue1 = 12 first slots of track 1
green1 = 12 first slots of track 2
red1 = 12 first slots of track 3

blue2 = launch/stop of track 1 to 6
green2 = mute/solo of track 1 to 6
red2 = rec of track 1 to 6

blue3 = free 12 buttons for FX or other
green3 = selection of track 1 to 12
red3 = launch of the first 12 scenes

of course you can use one of the setup 2 to 12 to build your own set
and to combine some live assignments with free assignments.

you can also launch the first 12 clips on each of the first 12 tracks by the
LX2.
reassign any launch-keys in LIVE if you want to use other as the first 12
slots/scenes.

here are some differences to my templates:

- launch of the first 12 slots in each track by the key group 'slot launch'
on LV2/LC2 (also on LX2)
- launch of the first 12 scenes by the key group 'scene launch' on LV2/LC2
(also on LX2)
- controlling of the parameters in the selected device (the 8
best-of-parameters) by encoders in group FX3/FX4
- stick controls the X/Y area in the selected device (FX1/FX2 group)
- switching between track-view and clip-view by shift + lower
pot-ctrl-button
- switching between session-view and arrangement-view by shift + upper
pot-ctrl-button
- hide/show of the track/clip-window by pushbutton of encoder C (in main
group)

- no track monitor control
- no control of the loop-start/length and gain in the clip-parameters
- no control of monitor volume & crossfader
(these things are currently not possible in LIVE but will be coming soon)
you should map these things by yourselve on demand.

it's possible to override all automatic mappings.

the scripts handle 12 tracks (LV2/LC2/LX2/LD2) and 16 tracks (LV1/LX1).

and of course all the button-led's works how you expect.

...it's really amazing...
