TriggerFinger_AbletonLive_MIDIRemoteScript

Custom midi remote script for using the TriggerFinger in Ableton Live 10.x
Removes all controls on program 13 and turns the device into a Guitar live-looping pedal-board

How to Install
1: Find the "MIDI Remote Scripts" folder for your installation of Ableton (Usually: C:\Program Files\Ableton\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts)
2: Copy the TriggerFingerMX folder there
3: Open Ableton and got to Option/Preferences .. Then the Link MIDI tab. Select the desired script in the Control Surface selector. Set Input/Output as your TriggerFinger

Setting on the TriggerFinger
1: Select the program you want to use. I use 13
2: Set global channel to 13
3: Set every pad to channel 13
4: Set the pad note so they look like this:
-- A5-B5-C6-B6
-- D5-E5-F5-G5
-- G4-A4-B4-C5
-- C4-D4-E4-F4
5: Save your preset

Current layout

Column	Row 1	Row 2	Row 3	Row 4

2	StopNew		Up
3	SetNew	Left	Down	right
4	RecordNew	Play/Pause	Stop	Record

StopNew: Stop playing clip in selected track and selects the first available slot. Useful to stop a loop and start playing instead to look for something that fits, ready to hit record manually.
SetNew: Selects the first available slot. Ready to hit record manually.
RecordNew: Selects the first available slots and starts recording. Useful when there is a clip playing already and you are ready to replace without warmup.
Play/Pause: Plays from current position when unpaused. If Stop was pressed before it will start from selection position.
Stop: Pressed once: pause and makes the play button start from selection position. Twice: sets selection position to start of song.
