Excellent Stuff. Only one important thing missing. Midi Mapping ability please if possible.

also the midi transposition by semition would be nice addition

Enabling the mapping option for controls messes up the undo history. As far as I know, it is a limitation of Max for Live that currently has no solution. Regarding the transposition by semitones I take note for future updates.

I second the request for midi mapping. I understand that it makes undo less usable, but I crossed that bridge many moons ago. Being able to map a CC message to the Insert and Capture Scene feature would solve a workflow issue I’m running into with Touchable Pro.

Finally got round to buying ATB and Im really disappointed. It does look great but the icons keep POPPING out of PLACE, they get really stretched randomly and never maintains its place.

@DavidSeekolaMusic - It is a problem that happens on some Mac computers but there is a device configuration procedure that fixes it. I sent you an email on October 13 at 6:40 p.m. but I did not receive a response. I am writing to you here in case the email has gone into the spam folder.

I dont understand, this only works on Windows?  nothing for MAC.  I feel like that should've been mentioned earlier, in bold, higher in the ad.  it may have been mentioned.  but I was really looking forward to using it - but I cant.  cause its "only for windows". dmmT
