Improved Ableton MIDI remote script for the Arturia MiniLab 3 controller.
The provided "DAW" mode in the MiniLab 3 configures its encoders as abolute knobs. The issue is that when changing parameters using these knobs, the currently mapped parameter value jumps to the absolute value of the knob, which is far from ideal. Here I provide a custom MIDI remote script which fixes this issue. With this script Ableton notifies the Minilab 3 the values of the currently selected device parameters and the MiniLab 3 alings the encoders to these values.
