Using the MIDI Command to control Ableton Live

The MIDI Command comes with a remote control surface script for Ableton Live 5, 6 and 7. To install this script,
download the installation files from http://ruinwesen.com/software/MidiCommand-AbletonScript.zip . Unzip the zip file
and copy the folder "FCB1010" into the Ableton Live's "MIDI Remote Scripts" folder. Under MacOSX, this folder can be
found inside the Live.app bundle by right clicking on the "Live.app" file and choosing "Show Package Contents":
Under Windows, this folder is found in the Ableton installation directory (most often in "C:\Program Files\Ableton\") in the
folder "Resources".
After the folder was copied, plug-in your MIDI Command, select patch 1 and connect it to your computer's MIDI inter-
face. Then start Ableton Live. Open up the preferences panel and go to "MIDI Sync" panel. Select "MidiCommand" as
your control surface (if "MidiCommand" does not appear in the list, verify that you have copied the "MidiCommand" folder
to the correct location as described above), and configure the input MIDI port and the output MIDI port accordingly. In
this example I use the Port 1 of a MidiLink adapter.
