[PD] controlling ableton with pd via midi

Hi Fede,

Mostly all parameters that you change with the mouse in Ableton Live can 
be assigned to a MIDI Controller. Just right-click on any knob and 
select "Edit MIDI map". Then just send some [ctlout] from Pd and that 
controller (say midichannel 1 controller 1) will be auto-mapped to that 
Ableton knob. You can also use other Pd MIDI out objects as well.
