This is a simple remote script that adds intuitive basic ableton control to the OP-1 Field when used as a controller.
By default, plugging in OP-1 Field only supports notes. Install this script to add a range of functionality including transport controls (play, stop, rec), session view navigation, and track toggles. OP-1's basic octave and pitch bend functionality is kept in place: left/right arrows to change octave, shift left/right arrow to pitchwheel down/up while playing.
This script works with Ableton Live 12. It was tested on MacOS, but should work on Windows as well.
