Controlling the Mixer in Ableton Live

In the update of June 2025 of Ableton MPH we introduced a new page to control the mixer of Ableton Live.

To install the update, run the Ableton MPH installer and replace the AbletonMPH folder in 
Windows: C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Ableton\User Library\Remote Scripts

Mac: HD/Users/[username]/Music/Ableton/User Library/Remote Scripts

Two new buttons were added in the bottom left and right corners of the default Device Control page.

The Mixer button on the right and the Tracks button on the left.

Clicking on the Mixer button will open the Mixer page. 
Each page carries 8 tracks and it syncs all 8 to the current Ableton Live track selection. The mixer displays tracks in groups of 8 per page, counting from the first track in Ableton Live. So if you select track 23, it will be on page 3.

Each track has a Select button whick selects the track and syncs its first 8 Return track volume levels on the left encoder column and the rest 4 Return track volume levels on the right encoder column, starting from 5th encoder of the column.

The Follow Ableton button is enabled by default and it follows the Ableton Live track selection. When you select a track in Ableton Live, it will also select and display that track.

The volume of the tracks can be controlled via the physical encoders of the bottom row and the on-screen fader via touch and drag. You can touch anywhere on the fader and drag and it will not jump in value, however it is better to touch close to the current value so that you have more space to move up and down.

The pan of each track can be controlled via the top row of physical encoders.

The Enable Hi Res (High Resolution) button is a global option and it will work in the mixer page and in the devices page when enabled. This setting enables making surgical adjustments to the smallest interval step supported by Ableton Live's controlled parameter.

The Tracks button displays a list of all tracks and takes the keyboard focus on the search-as-you-type textbox so that you can filter and find tracks easily. Selecting a track from the list will close the track list and select it on the mixer.

Please note that in the first release it is not possible to select Return and the Main tracks from the mixer, however when selected in Ableton, they will also be selected on the Ableton MPH mixer.

The Track Next and Previous buttons will select the next and previous buttons.

The Device Next and Previous buttons will select the next and previous device of the selected track.

The Select Device button will open the Device Selection page where you can select the device you want. From that page you can also navigate back to the Mixer via the Mixer button or display the track list.
