That said Renoise never really worked with the Presonus Faderport midi driver, since there are some bugs inside Renoise preventing to record automation really properly. You know that the automation thing in Renoise still is a bit rudimentary, when it comes to precision and workflow.
The problem comes from the hardware, which is limited. For example, if you change the midi channel on a multi-channel MIDI keyboard, the white and black keys change channels. If there are 61 keys, and 16 channels, then you can send 976 different CC messages, 61 for each channel. But the same is not true for many MIDI keyboards with their pads, which are relegated to only one MIDI channel.
Its a shame the AKAI MPD218 ( which I own ) does not have a feature to change each pads midi channel number from the actual controller itself ( to have separate instruments mapped across the 16 pads ). You must open the AKAI MPD218 editor, which is just a longer process and a bit annoying.
The Worlde Panda Mini 2 is a highly versatile midi controller and is a powerful instrument when used in combination with Ableton Live. This midi keyboard has a great selection of features that make it perfect for your Ableton Live setup.
When using Ableton's internal midi mapping mode, unfortunately now all options are available, controls such as selected track and selected device control aren't currently possible. View a full list of Ableton midi mapping options here.
If you're looking to get the most out of your Panda Mini 2, our Ableton Midi Script Creator tool 'Control Surface Studio' is exactly what you need!
With it, you'll be able to:
- save and re-use your Panda Mini 2's mappings across all of your Ableton Live sessions,
- map multiple Ableton parameters to a single control on your Panda Mini 2,
- access many more Ableton parameter controls for your Panda Mini 2, than Live's internal midi mapping mode allows.
