Press Footswitch 1. The numbers 1/2<br />
appear inside the Play Button. This is<br />
telling you that the button is “mapped”<br />
to respond to <strong>MIDI</strong> Channel 1, <strong>MIDI</strong><br />
CC 2<br />
Click on the Stop button then press<br />
Footswitch 1 again. Since we configured<br />
the Footswitch to toggle between<br />
transmitting CC 2 & CC 3, this button<br />
now receives the CC 3 value<br />
Now click on the Record button, then<br />
press Footswitch 2. This now maps<br />
<strong>MIDI</strong> CC 6 to toggle Record on/off<br />
Click on the <strong>MIDI</strong> button when done, to exit<br />

<strong>MIDI</strong> <strong>Setup</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>: Controlling Ableton Live<br />
You’re done! Give the footswitches a try and you should see Live’s transport trigger accordingly. Using<br />
the same procedure, you can now map any of your <strong>POD</strong> <strong>Studio</strong>/<strong>TonePort</strong> controllers to other Ableton<br />
Live functions. Read on for more examples.<br />
Mapping the Expression Pedal Controller<br />
Next, we’ll map the Expression Pedal to one of Live’s software parameters so that we can control<br />
it hands-free! The Expression Pedal transmits a stream of <strong>MIDI</strong> CC values, so you can map to any<br />
available Live parameter that has an adjustable range, such as an effect knob or slider. We’ll first map<br />
the pedal to Live’s Chorus effect - Dry/Wet parameter. This will allow us to change the Dry/Wet mix of<br />
Live’s Chorus effect in real-time. Note that this also makes it possible to “write” parameter automation<br />
in real-time using the Expression Pedal - more on that later.<br />
• Connect an Expression Pedal into the Expression jack on your UX2/UX8/KB37, and launch the<br />
<strong>Line</strong> 6 <strong>MIDI</strong> Control Settings and configure the Expression Pedal controller to send a <strong>MIDI</strong> CC<br />
- we’ll use CC 5. Your settings should look like this (and remember to click the Apply button<br />
when done):<br />
• In Ableton Live, first record or load an audio file in an audio track so that you have something<br />
to play and hear your effect in action.<br />
• Load the Chorus as an insert effect on this audio track. You can do this by selecting<br />
Effects>Chorus>Chorus in the Live Devices panel and then drag this Chorus effect on top of<br />
your audio track to insert it.
