Newbie Questions
Hi
Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong place or very simple questions...... but I'm getting myself very confused.
Simply, I have Ableton Live 9.7 on Windows PC and have just got a Midi Fighter Twister.
Set it up, had a quick play - looks great. I've mapped some of the controls to a soft synth in Live - just what i wanted get a more hands on feel to play soft synth with.
However this is where I get really confused - even after reading on internet. How do I save the midi mapping i've made so i can use it with my twister next time I load up Live and that soft synth?
Thanks in advance

Another Idea
One of the most useful and powerful areas of Ableton is the User Library section on the far-left of the screen. It's in the browser window, near the bottom. You can place anything you want there to recall it for future projects. It's especially useful when you've spent countless hours building the drums sounds you want or chopping samples that you want to use in another project. To your issue, you can also save instruments there as a way to save your own presets. All you would have to do is click and hold the top of the midi track you have your soft synth assigned to and drag it into your User Library (create a folder for it, you're going to want to be as organized as possible from the beginning).
If that doesn't work, there are two other options. Either you can place your instrument in an Instrument Rack and assign the parameters you want to map to Macro knobs so you can easily reference and remap them if the mappings don't save, or you can simply save the entire set and reopen it was a template for anytime you want to create music with a soft synth in it.
I'm definitely not an Ableton expert but I hope some of this has helped a little. Good luck and have fun!
