heyaaa, finally could do another round
happy to say it works 
I think the terminology Play/Store is fine?
It is just that I expected the Store behavior on opening the device
(and clearly did not think about how I would play with the scenes
if every click stored, so thanks for thinking of that)
Maybe leave Store active so it is easier to set up scene after scene?
This is so awesome. I assume I could use the actual Octatrack crossfader for this too, right? Once properly mapped of course.
Perform/Store?
I admit I havenât tried it yet so it might not be the right word.
Reading your above description, maybe:
Set/Assign?
Done/Assign?
Lock/Assign?
Set Knobs/To Scene?
Finished Fiddling/Store?
Play/Store?
I really donât think so.
It all gets saved with the live set, so once youâve set everything as you want, you just reload your set and play.
Also, leaving the âstoreâ state active doesnât seem a good idea to me. Because one of the fun things with the crossfader is to change the A and B scene as you play, and the way it works, it would just copy a scene to another.
âPerform Mode / Store Modeâ seems like a good advice.
Yeah why not !
One of the cool things about the fader is the massive resolution. What are the controller options for exceeding 128 steps? Is this why people are into OSC?
OSC is more about controls between devices over things like Ethernet or WIFI (an over simplified, incomplete description).
Max supports NRPN controls and Sysex for high resolution controls, so itâs possible.
Itâs very dependent on your controller and what your trying to control though.
Youâd need a crossfader that sends NRPN and devices that accepts NRPN to have that kind of resolution.
Iâll check if I can add and âhi resolutionâ mode. Could be not-so-simple.
Meanwhile, I updated the device https://maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=6850
I did not mean active indefinitely as in no perform mode,
but at the moment once you store
you are automagically back in perform
or if one maps the perform/store switch to a momentary button
the behaviour would be like the Octa?
Ha I see. I made it on purpose so you donât accidentally fuck up scenes. To make it more intentional.
On the Octatrack you hold A or B and then hit a Scene âtrigâ. You canât do this with a mouse.
Letâs see how you feel after some time of use ? Itâs an easy fix as itâs basically removing some stuff.
oh, for sure looking forward to try the new version!
I can see your reasoning against fucking up scenes,
cause when I made scene after scene quickly to try the device
I sometimes wasnât sure if I was overwriting an old one.
Could the scenes change colour, like green for empty slot, red for stored or so?
Seeing that the mouse only gives you one tiny finger on the Octatrack so to speak
I thought the store/perform could/would be mapped to a momentary button on a MIDI controller to mimic âhold A or Bâ then make your changes, click the desired slot and once you let go off the MIDI button it gets stored.
But you are right, it probably makes more sense to use the device for a while and then ask for changes. If I just sit here thinking about it, it might not be long until I ask you to make the device make me coffee, too 
Which, hmmm coffee, is not a bad idea, I could use some more, off to the kitchenâŚ
Thanks, cool to know itâs supported in Max. So far the only controller I can find with NRPN high resolution faders is the old Behringer BCF-2000.
That would be useful. Iâll think of it.
Iâve been trying the Livefader Max for Live device, and it works really well with the Push 2.
In the Pushâs User mode, you can MIDI map pads to the A and B buttons, and also to each of the 8 scenes. I mapped a knob to the Xfader.
The neat bit is that the Pushâs pads light up to tell you whatâs active. So, you can tap the pad for the right scene, then tap the pad for, say, scene H, and theyâll stay lit. Itâs almost exactly like using the Octatrack.
âŚsure u can built a software set up within ableton or bitwig that can âeasilyâ go beyond otâs crossfader optionsâŚbut u have to make ur mind up firstâŚwhile, well, itâs not like u would not have to think first on the ot eitherâŚ
Old post, I know, but if anyone else is having this issue a possible workaround would be hijacking the pitch wheel, since pitch bend is always 14 bit.
The Faderfox stuff is 14 bit but on the expensive side. The UC4 is the obvious one if you donât mind the tiny faders.
Only the encoders of the UC4 can be set up in 14bit resolution.
NI Reaktor has a Snapshot Fader, its awesome !
Oooh, I didnât know that. The day I got mine I set the faders up to control OT track volume, and the crossfader to control reverb/delay send level on the current track, and never touched them again.
If you donât mind some simple DIY the Doepfer Wheel Electronic could do it, and for jsut 45 euros. Youâd just need to source and hook up the actual crossfader and figure out some kind of enclosure.
Yes itâs a perfect companion for the OT (OT MIDI is also 7bit). Set it and forget it, eh
Love the Faderfox micro controllers.
