In the above video, the user is controlling Ableton Live with the KP3; he's got 8 virtual faders on the X/Y pad.
How do I do this? I've tried everything I can think of, and canny find any resources re: virtual faders.
This is currently the only thing that's currently stopping me using the KP3 in my live set...
Help!

To have 8 Faders, you gotta go through the KP3 editor, under "EXT.CTRL" Then look at the KP3 graphic with all the assigned Midi notes and find the pattern drop-down. Choose pattern 4, click "Pad Touch", then select "continue" on the Assign Type.
I know I can control pots and faders with this setting. I couldn't control the clips in an audio track in Live with this setting though.

No Problem
From that youtube vid, it looked like he was controlling the clips with each led on the X/Y representing a clip. That means each led would be a note.
Though, still not sure if he's controlling the clips since I can't see his Ableton screen

Aye, I haven't worked that far out. The faders do, however, work perfect for controlling FX in Ableton.
Awesome.
I think that some kind of CC# + transmitted value to note conversion would do the job! I'm sure there's things that do that.
