_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 โ€˜Show Package Contentsโ€™

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.

โ€ข If you have it will be located in ~/Documents/Isotonik/PrEditor/_Isotonik_data.

โ€ข 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.
