_Isotonik_data Folder
The location of this folder will depend on whether you have migrated your data or not. If you have,
then it will be located in ~/Documents/Isotonik/PrEditor/_Isotonik_data.
If not, this will be located:
Windows
C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live xxx\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts\_Isotonik Data
MAC
1. Go to Applications.
2. Right click on your Live install and select ‘Show Package Contents’
3. Navigate to Contents/App_Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts
Config File
For PrEditor users, the location of the Config file will differ depending on whether you have migrated your data to Documents.
• If you have it will be located in ~/Documents/Isotonik/PrEditor/_Isotonik_data.
• If not it will be located in MIDI Remote Scripts/_Isotonik_data.
For non-PrEditor users the config file will be in the installation directory of your script, e.g. MIDI Remote Scripts/Launch_Control_XXL.
In both cases, the config file will be named for the script, e.g. Launch_Control_XXL_config.txt.
Please Note: Unless you are sending troubleshooting information please ensure Log=0 in your config file as this can adversely affect performance of your control surface.
