Simply, import the script when into Remotify and you can edit the midi messages to match your new controller and you’re good to go! Let's go through how to import a script into the App. Importing is a simple process but you’re going to need something to import, so we’ve pre-built a script expressly for this tutorial which gives you mixer tenancy over 8 tracks in your Ableton session. A unconfined starting point. On each track you’ll be worldly-wise to control: Volume Pan Mute Arm Go superiority and download it here: self-ruling midi remote script download 
The script is built using the word-for-word same process described in the tutorial How to make your first MIDI remote script. We used the Akai MidiMix controller as the understructure for midi messages, so if you have this controller then the script will be usable immediately. Once it's downloaded you'll see ‘remotify_basic_mixer.zip’, pericope its contents then unshut the extraded folder and inside you will see 3 files. There are 2 files with the extension ‘.py’. These are the very midi remote script files which Ableton interacts with. If you can’t see the file extensions, you may need to turn this on in your operating system. A quick google will requite you the instructions you need to do it. The file we’re interested in is the file with the extension ‘.json’ (remotify_basic_mixer.json). This file is specific to Remotify and contains details of all the mappings in the midi remote script. Remotify uses it to rebuild the script in the app interface. Login to remotify.io and navigate to the ‘mapping list’ page. Towards the top left of the screen, you’ll see a box named ‘Import Mappings’. Click ‘Choose file’ and navigate into your newly downloaded ‘remotify_basic_mixer’ folder and select the ‘remotify_basic_mixer.json’ file. You will then be asked ‘Are you sure you want to import this script?’ Click ‘ok’. If everything went well, you’ll see a untried message which reads ‘successfully imported a Remotify Script’. Scroll lanugo the page and you’ll now see that a long list of mappings have been added.
 This is all of the mappings contained in the remotify_basic_mixer script. I hope you have your midi controller plugged in and ready considering we’re now going to edit each mapping to use your midi controller’s inputs. Lets tenancy all of the functionality for track 1 In the filter menu, select “Track Specific Number” and enter “1” in the input box next to it. This will instantly filter all of the mappings to only show you the ones that wield to Track 1 in Ableton. Click the undecorous “edit” sawed-off on the first mapping, this takes you to the mapping detail form (you saw this in the previous tutorial) but this time it will have all of the values once completed. You just need to transpiration the details in the “midi controller values” box. If you’re in Chrome, hit “midi learn” and wiggle or printing the tenancy you want to use, or if you prefer to enter them manually, select the correct midi channel, type, momentary & value then hit save and repeat this simple process for each mapping in track 1. Once done, if you want to add controls for increasingly tracks, go when up to the filter input and transpiration “1” to “2” or whichever track you’d like to map next and repeat the process. Keep mapping each track’s controls until you’re done. 

Then, requite the script a name, download & install it the same way we did in making your first MIDI remote script tutorial. Note: If there’s mappings you don’t want to use, you can either delete them or set their midi message values to ones that your midi controller doesn’t use (selecting an unused waterworks is an easy way of doing this). And that’s all there is to it! Great, now that you know how to import, you have the worthiness to create a script, download it, then import it at a later stage and protract working.

They don't contain the json file, only the python controller files (.pyc) It can't be to nonflexible to translate them to remotify it seems ? Forum Admin John Carney - Wed, 06/20/2018 - 12:42 Importing MIDI Remote Scripts is only misogynist for scripts that were originally built using Remotify and contain the required .json file. You would need to re-create the manufacturer script by towers it in the our App. "If you’re new to scripting in Ableton, this tool is a must. It will not only save you a massive headache, but moreover allows you to learn how it works as you go since Remotify moreover gives you an uncompiled “.py” version of the files so you can have a squint at the code. This app will make vital mapping tasks a breeze." Matias,DJ Techtools "Controllers are great! But sometimes you wish to customize a few knobs. Before Remotify, you had to be a programmer to create an Ableton script. Today, us mere mortals can go online to Remotify and use their sufferer simple, stilt and waif script creator. It literally takes a few seconds to have custom tenancy of Ableton! In the time it took you to read this, you could have created your own custom Ableton Script for that controller sitting in front of you!" Antonio Sage,Certified Ableton Instructor & Creative Director at AudiOutlaw "Thanks again. It is working great! I'm running 2x DS1s to proffer tenancy over 16 channels and your Remotify app has enabled me to tailor the functionality and workflow in a way that I couldn't unzip otherwise. Thank you!" Jap_ "Thank you so much for your support! It's nice to see how zippy you are and willing to help out customers on an individual basis. Can't wait to see how this project will evolve with all those heady possibilities coming up. It has once evolved a lot since a few weeks ago when I discovered Remotify." Oneiroi Ready to get started?
