Can you now automate FX on a bus from a clip in an Ableton Live set?

I used to do this with clyphx for a live show - I wanted certain parameters of my delay and reverb on bus a and b to be automated, the only way to do this in Live 9 was with clyphx ( a scipt device helper thingy) Im talking about session view/Live mode here not linear sequencer mode, this is for a concert

So in a clip in a live set i could move a macro control knob on a midi track (or automate it within the clip) and that would send a message to a receiver knob in the fx bus - I could not do this without Clyphx.

It sounds great in theory but sometimes the knobs were slow to respond with Clyphx and in a live set it was problematic.

Can you now do this natively in Live 10? or do I need to go and get Clyphx again?



Has anyone else found another way to automate bus parameters by connecting them to clips? Is there anything in MaxforLive which does this?

Thanks for reading! :-)

Max For Live devices could control stuff in other tracks in 9.

You can send MIDI CC to other tracks, maybe you can use that instead of automation?

No, it comes with the included M4L packages

Still cant find map8. Seems no such device exists in m4l. There's multi map, is that what you meant?

It is in the Max for Live Essentials pack:

"MAP8: a utility macro device that's particularly useful with Push and other eight-knob controllers."

Max for Live Essentials is not recommended to use for Live 10 (it even says it's for v9), because it contains devices that were updated for v10, like the LFO, Env. Follower, etc. Hope they'll update it properly for v10, because I in particular liked the synths.

Obviously, the devices work fine, just create a mess in your Browser, doubling some devices :)
