Windows or MAC?Just drag’n’drop the “ZOOMable.amxd” file on a MIDI track in Ableton Live.You will need to start (or join) a ZOOM meeting from the ZOOM app but you are now able to control ZOOM via ZOOMable.You will need to select the operation system you use.As stated on the download page this device is tested on German MAC WIN, English (UK) MAC English (US) MAC iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

MIDI MappingYou can as well use an external MIDI controller (or an Ableton PUSH) to trigger the buttons.Just MIDI MAP the buttons via entering the Ableton Live’s MIDI MAP menu.Select the button in the ZOOMable device you want to MIDI MAP and then press on yourMIDI controller buttons you want to iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
MIDI MAP vs. Mouse ClickThe device is designed for the use with external MIDI controllers, that’s why the default mode for the buttons is set to “Mom.” (Momentary) mode.If the buttons are triggered via mouse click the mode should be changed to “Toggle”.Note: If “Mom.” is activated, mouse click down and release might trigger the desired buttons action twice when the mouse click and release doesn’thappen quick. E.G. “Raise Hand” would be ‘raised’ on click down and ‘lowered’ on click release If “Tog.” is activated mapped MIDI notes need to be send in twice to trigger the desired iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Direct MIDI Notes Track InputUnfortunately MIDI MAPpings can’t be saved as presets (only in ‘full’ Ableton Live sets) but you can as well send MIDI notes into atrack directly and set those notes to trigger ZOOMable buttons.This way you are able to save ZOOMable presets which you can access and recall those quick.Click on the “ ” tab to open the view for the MIDI notes section.Every function button can be triggered by a direct MIDI note input. You can set the MIDI note pitchmanually or click on “S” for sync. The field is now listening to MIDI note input and will detect and setthe pitch automatically. After you set up some MIDI notes you can save this as a preset in yourAbleton Live’s User Library by drag’n’dropping the device into it.Switch iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Use iPad and MIRA AppIf you have an iPad, you will be able to access ZOOMable via the MIRA App, which you can get here. Your iPad will need to be on the same WIFInetwork like your computer, for Macs it is possible to make a connection via USB as well. The MIRA app guides you through this whole process andis really easy to set up.
Possible Extra InstallZOOMable is using a MAX external object called “11Strokes” from Olsen11 - if you are using OSX Big Sur you might need to download and installthis external manually. This might occur with some other OS as well, so If you can’t get ZOOMable working and you are sure you set up everythingelse right, give this a try.Go to www.11olsen.de/code/max-objects/11strokes and download the MAXexternals. Unzip the folder and place the folder somewhere, where you want itto be stored permanently.You will need to open the MAX app, which you might do for the first time now. MAX is automatically installed when using Ableton LiveSuite but might be not showing up when you are looking for it in your applications folder.You definitely will be able to open MAX via Ableton Live like described on the next page.
