FOCUS BEHAVIOR
Selected Track mapping for Ableton Live
Ableton's MIDI mapping is global. Dynamic Focus makes mappings follow the selected track
Follow
Touch a knob. Focus follows.
Feedback appears instantly
PERSISTENCE
Shape your controls
Arrange controls in your own order, set your own ranges,
and build a rack of big, readable controls
Build controls in context
No jumping to Ableton's mapping panel — everything lives right beside the instrument you're tuning
Refine over time
Save up to nine parameters, and bring those mappings to another track — or even another project
Stay in control
Use the controls you already know. Focus on details
OUTCOME
Bring older controllers back to life
Visual feedback and layer control make older controllers feel new again
Knob controllers
Every mapped parameter
has a full-size display
Compact mixers
Turn tiny mixers into readable
control surfaces
Keyboard encoders
Every encoder shows its
target and value
Works with any controller that sends absolute CC values
SETUP & SUPPORT
Frequent questions
Add Dynamic Focus Input to a MIDI track. It is the input layer.
Drop Dynamic Focus Slot onto any track.
Map a knob and you're ready
The mapping lives on the track, so it stays with the Set and moves with the track into another project – you never re-map
No. Any controller that sends absolute CC values works. A scripted controller just needs its Custom or User mode
Classic Scale Pickup Mode – a control only becomes active once its physical position matches the current on-screen value. Full breakdown: why Ableton's pickup mode doesn't work across banks, and how this closes the gap → see the guide
Two skins: the default one, or the display tinted in the colour of the track it belongs to. You can also show the instrument name front and center for clearer on-stage navigation
