ClyphX Pro Bindings by nativeKONTROL

Yes, ClyphX Pro Bindings is an add-on accessory and requires ClyphX Pro to function. It will not work as a standalone product, so make sure you have ClyphX Pro installed and set up before adding Bindings.

ClyphX Pro Bindings is compatible with Ableton Live 12.1 and above. If you are running an earlier version of Live, you will need to update before using this product.

Unlike standard MIDI mapping in Live, ClyphX Pro Bindings allows your controller assignments to change dynamically over the course of a Live Set. You can also bind controls to parameters that Live’s MIDI mapping does not support, such as parameters on the currently selected track, giving you far greater flexibility.

Yes, that is precisely what ClyphX Pro Bindings is designed for. The core ClyphX Pro engine handles button-style triggers but does not support continuous controls, so Bindings fills that gap by enabling knobs, faders, and encoders to be mapped dynamically to parameters in Live.

Yes, one of the key advantages of ClyphX Pro Bindings is that your bindings are not tied to a specific Live Set and will work across any Set you open, making it a much more portable and flexible solution than standard MIDI mapping.

Yes, LED feedback is supported, allowing your controller’s LEDs to reflect the state of parameters and what is happening inside Live. This is another feature that goes beyond what standard MIDI mapping offers.

ClyphX Pro Bindings is installed as an add-on to your existing ClyphX Pro setup, following the installation instructions provided by nativeKONTROL. You should ensure ClyphX Pro is already correctly installed before adding the Bindings component.

Installing a control surface script

These steps work for any third-party control surface script (also called a remote script) in Ableton Live 10.1.13 or later, on Mac and Windows.

1. Download and unzip

Download the product from your Isotonik Studios account and unzip it. Inside you will find the script folder and the product manual. Keep the script folder exactly as it is: do not rename it, and do not put it inside another folder.

2. Create a “Remote Scripts” folder in your User Library

Live loads third-party scripts from a folder called “Remote Scripts” inside your User Library. If you do not have one yet, create it, spelled exactly as shown.

• Mac: Macintosh HD/Users/[username]/Music/Ableton/User Library
• Windows: \Users\[username]\Documents\Ableton\User Library

If you have moved your User Library, find it in Live under Preferences > Library > Location of User Library (Settings in Live 12), and create the “Remote Scripts” folder there.

3. Copy the script folder into “Remote Scripts”

Place the script folder directly inside “Remote Scripts”, so the script’s files sit one level down:
User Library > Remote Scripts > [script folder] > script files

4. Restart Live

If Live is already open, close it and open it again so it finds the new script.

5. Select the script

Connect your controller, then open Preferences > Link, Tempo & MIDI (Settings in Live 12). In a free Control Surface slot, choose the script from the dropdown, then set its Input and Output to your controller’s ports.

6. Switch on the MIDI ports

In the MIDI Ports section, switch on Remote (and Track, if the product’s manual asks for it) for the ports the script uses. Live usually shows a confirmation message in its status bar when the script loads.

Good to know

• Live 11 and later only run scripts written for Python 3. A script made for Live 10 or earlier will not appear in Live 11 or 12, so download the version that matches your Live version.
• If the script does not appear in the Control Surface list, check that it is not nested inside an extra folder (the most common cause after unzipping), then restart Live.
• Scripts in your User Library’s “Remote Scripts” folder keep working when you update Live.
• Keep your controller on its default MIDI settings unless the product’s manual says otherwise.
