Very helpful little script. Works with Launch Control XXL script, and enables you to tweak sets of parameters across different tracks. In my opinion, it works best with standard audio FX like EQ, filter, flange etc. Incredibly easy to set up, I had it working within minutes, and the design is intuitive - the LED colours work really nicely with the Launch Control XL, so you avoid getting lost between tracks and parameters. Oh, and Isotonik's help desk get back to you v quickly. Great outfit!
Channel Strip by Sigabort
When we first released our script for the Novation LaunchControl XL we were taken aback by the positive feedback for our extended parameter mode allowing up to 24 parameters to be controlled at the same time with the available encoders. Our Channel Strip Upgrade takes things one step further.
Next we took the feature to the BCR 2000.
Now to follow up on our PrEditor Mapping utility upgrade (that allows the user to define exactly how each Instrument, Effect, VST/AU and MaxforLive device is mapped with the BlueHand AutoMapping feature of Ableton Live) we bring you the Channel Strip!
When performing Live with multiple tracks sometimes Ableton Lives paradigm of only being able to control the Rack in focus can be limiting, for example if you want to adjust the Bass of one track against another at the same time you have to play Track Focus Tennis and bounce around your set making small changes. It’s hardly organic…
With the Channel Strip Upgrade you simply drop in a rack to each track and call it “Isotonik”, switch into the Channel Strip Mode from the controller directly and you’ll take control of all of the Isotonik Racks that are in focus of the RingFocus Box. Just think, you’ll have EQ control across 8 tracks at the same time!
You can bank up and down through the 8 available Macros in the Rack, just have a look at the screenshot at the top for an idea of what you could control and then watch the walkthrough video below to see how simple yet effective this new way of control really is!
Frequently Asked Questions
Channel Strip currently supports the Novation LaunchControl XL and the Behringer BCR 2000. It works as an extension to the existing Sigabort Control Surface Scripts for those devices.
By default, Ableton Live only lets you control the Rack that is currently in focus. Channel Strip breaks that limitation by letting you control parameters across multiple Ableton Live Racks on up to 8 tracks simultaneously, which is far more useful when performing live.
Yes, Channel Strip is an extension to an existing Control Surface Script rather than a standalone product. You will need the relevant Sigabort script for either the LaunchControl XL or the BCR 2000 installed and working first.
Channel Strip allows you to control Racks across 8 tracks simultaneously. This builds on the extended parameter mode from the original scripts, which already allowed up to 24 parameters to be controlled at once via the available encoders.
Yes, Channel Strip is designed to complement the PrEditor Mapping upgrade. If you have PrEditor set up to define how your devices are mapped using Ableton’s BlueHand AutoMapping feature, Channel Strip extends that control across multiple tracks at the same time.
Channel Strip is a Control Surface Script extension, so it requires a version of Ableton Live that supports custom Control Surface Scripts. We recommend checking the Isotonik Studios product page for the specific version requirements before purchasing.
It is particularly well suited to live performance scenarios where you need to adjust parameters across multiple tracks in real time, such as balancing the bass on one track against another, or tweaking effects on several channels without constantly switching focus in Ableton.

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
Control Surface Scripts – Please refer directly to the supplied user manual for installation instructions, due to the changes in the Python language used by Live across versions of 10, 11, 12 and 12.1 you will need to ensure you have installed to the correct location and used the correct files as instructed and supplied.
