Hello,

I would like to user the Ableton Control feature of the MPC Live.
The unit is connected to the network and recognized by Ableton Live (I can see the red-outlined rectangle in the session view).

However I cannot use my q-links to control mixing (pan, volume of tracks) or devices (parameters).

I have a memory of my MPC working very well when the Ableton Control update was released a few years ago, but it seems complicated to reproduce the good behaviour now.

Any ideas on this, please?



EDIT: the manual contains the following lines, which describe what I am looking for

"Use the Q-Link button to toggle between Q-Link Banks 1 and 2 (which control Track
Level for the eight tracks currently viewed) and Banks 3 and 4 (which are mapped to
control the device on the current track, based on the location of the "blue hand" in
Ableton Live's Detail View)."
