How to use the Codec script

The basic controls of the Livid Code are used in its native mode in the following manner:

The left side buttons select which mode the Code is in:

Mode 1.

The top two rows of dials control sends 1 and 2 levels of each track. The third dial controls the panning. The fourth dial controls track volume. The bottom buttons select the track.

The bottom encoder button row controls track mute.

The top right encoder buttons control track navigation (L/R).

The bottom soft buttons select the currently visible track in Live.

Holding down Gary will change the encoder sensitivity. Pressing an encoder button while Gary is pressed will return the linked parameter to its default value.

Mode 2.

All four dials in each column control the send levels of a track. The bottom buttons select the track.

Holding down Gary will change the encoder sensitivity. Pressing an encoder button while Gary is pressed will return the linked parameter to its default value.

Mode 3.

Each row of 8 encoders represents a single device. Since Live only really supports one DeviceComponent per script, it is necessary to select one for editing purposes. Pressing the far right column of encoder buttons will select the currently active DeviceComponent, and the LED's below each encoder displays which Device is currently active.

The second row of encoder buttons controls the Device's on/off state.

The third row of encoder buttons controls the Device's lock state.

The fith and sixth row allow bank navigation within the currently selected device.

The seventh and eighth row allow navigation of devices within the selected track.

The bottom soft buttons provide a DeviceSelectorComponent, which can automatically reassign the selected DeviceComponent to a new device in Live based on it's name. If you prefix a device with "p1"..."p8" or "c1"..."c8", the Device can be accessed with the selector. Prefixes starting with "c" will be locked to in preferences to one with "p" (this allows for using another Livid controller with a similar selector to gain more preset selections).

Holding down Gary will change the encoder sensitivity. Pressing an encoder button while Gary is pressed will return the linked parameter to its default value.

Mode 4.

The entire dial grid controls the currently selected device with up to 32 parameters.

The top row of encoder buttons work in a similar fashion to Mode 3."""

Holding down Gary will change the encoder sensitivity. Pressing an encoder button while Gary is pressed will return the linked parameter to its default value.

modMode.

Double-pressing Gary will enter Mod Mode if a compatible version of the Monomodular script is also installed in Live's MIDI Preferences.

In modMode, all controls are dependent upon the plugin being controlled. One constant, however, is that holding down Gary is 'Mod-Shift', and turns the bottom row of buttons into the 'modKeys'. They share the same functions as any other mod controller.

Also, when modShift is engaged, LED's below the top row of dials indicate which mod is chosen, and the row below it shows what channel that mod is transmitting on. You can change the assignment by pushing the dial above the LED's.

Exit Mod Mode by double-pressing Gary again.
