Anyone could help me out how to control LIVE8 effects with KP3?
I saw the other day one DJ setup and he had extra laptop with Ableton and KP3 connected to his mixer as external effector. Really cool set up.
???

shift-8 enables midi mode
then you can map A-D, 1-8, fx depth, fx release, hold, touchpad (x/y/touch) via midi mapping mode in ableton live

Thanx for that.
Works fine, I have only one more issue.
Let`s say I want to set up KP3 to control Auto Filter and I want the x/y pad control the Q and HZ of filter. So when I go from left to the right the HZ would go up and from top to bottom, the Q would go down?

invert range if needed by right clicking in midi mapping mode in live.
change also min/max of Q there to remove extreme parameter values.

it is hard to map as kp3 send three ccs. x position, y position and if touchpad has been touched. last one often overrites correct mapping. maybe that's the issue (as far as i remember you have to close maping mode before taking off your finger from touch screen).
launch kp3 editor, take a look which cc is assigned to X, Y and touch and verify what you have on mapping in live.
