Using Syntakt as a Control Surface – Send Relative MIDI cc? – Elektron Gear

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me solve an issue with macro parameters jumping in Ableton when using Syntakt as a control surface.

A bit of background on what I’m trying to do: I’ve built a drum machine inside ableton Live and I’m using Syntakt’s sequencer to control it, I also have a User Remote Script that lets me control whatever rack is selected using Syntakt’s encoders and there’s a midi machine on every single track with those encoder CC values set to control Ableton via the blue hand.

The problem arises when I press play and the encoder positions in syntakt don’t match those of the macros of a selected rack in Ableton. They immediately jump to match the encoders on Syntakt.

Here’s a video showing the problem youtu.be/YB-TbWRv9Fs?si=fCG_8cN9Qxn7AwQk

I figured it’s because Syntakt is sending absolute CC encoder values. Is there a way to send relative midi CC? If not is there some other solution?

Makes me wish the syntakt had multiple 8 knob banks per midi track so I could just hardmap them all
