Controlling DT with M Audio UC33E

Sorry didn’t get that. I thought you want to control your Digitakt directly with the UC33? Instead you want to control Ableton or your DT tracks in Ableton? Are you using Overbridge? Can you please explain a little more what you are after?

Depending on what you want to control (DT directly or Audio Tracks in Ableton), you’d have to setup your UC33e differently.

If you just want to control the track levels (track 1-8) of your Digitakt, you’d have to assign a unique midi channel to each track on the DT (eg Midi channels 1-8 for Tracks 1-8) and then set the faders on your UC33e to send CC95 (controls track volume on the DT) for each respective midi channel.

So for example:

If fader 1 on your UC33e should control the volume of track 1 on your DT and you’ve assigned midi channel 1 to your DT’s track 1, then you’d set up that first fader on your UC33e as follows:

Midi channel: 1, midi message: CC95

For the other faders you’d keep the midi message at CC95 for all of them and just change the midi channel of each fader to match the midi channel you’ve assigned to the track a fader is supposed to control.

EDIT: you’d apply the same logic to any other parameters of the DT you’d like to control. Use the midi channel setting to map a control on your UC33 to a specific track on the DT and then the Midi CC number that controls the parameter you want to control on that track (check the DT Manual’s for tables on which midi CCs control which prameters on the DT)

In Ableton, you’d handle all of this differently though.
