Setup auto mapping of the Torso Electronics T-1 in Ableton Live using UserConfiguration.txt
0. On the Torso Electronics T-1, set a track in CC mode. See the manual for more information on this.
1. Copy this UserConfiguration.txt into the following directory
Windows → C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\[Live x.x.x]\Preferences\User Remote Scripts\T1
Mac →HD/Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Ableton/[Live x.x.x]>User Remote Scripts/T1
2. Restart Ableton
3. Go to preferences -> Link/Tempo/Midi
4. Setup the T1 controller:
1. Under control surface choose the name you chose for the folder in the User Remote Scripts directory
2. Under input choose the name of your controller
3. Under output choose the name of your controller
Now, add any device to your tracks and move the encoders. The focused device will have all 12 encoders automatically mapped to it.

[Globals]
# The primary MIDI channel that the controller uses in
# the range of 0-15.
GlobalChannel: -1
# ======================================================
# Control Settings Information
# ======================================================
# The settings below allow you to control various
# features in Live via MIDI messages that your
# controller sends.
# Aside from the PadxNote features where Note numbers
# are assigned, all other features expect CCs. CCs and
# Note numbers are counted from 0-127.
# For the most part, CCs and Notes are expected to be
# sent on the GlobalChannel. However, it is possible
# to specify a different channel for some features such
# as EncoderChannelx. In those cases, if the channel is
# left at -1, the GlobalChannel will be used. Channels
# are counted from 0-15.
# Aside from buttons used for MixerControl, buttons on
# your controller are expected to not be toggles (i.e.,
# sending value 0 every second time you press it).
# Finally, for some features, you can specify the map
# mode of the MIDI message(s) assigned to the feature.
# The following map modes are available:
# - Absolute
# - Absolute14Bit
# - LinearSignedBit
# - LinearSignedBit2
# - LinearTwoCompliment
# - LinearBinaryOffset
# - AccelSignedBit
# - AccelSignedBit2
# - AccelTwoCompliment
# - AccelBinaryOffset
# For faders and knobs with a fixed range, you will
# use Absolute or Absolute14Bit. For endless encoders,
# you will use one of the other modes. To find out which
# to use, you can:
# - Consult the controller's documentation.
# - Review section 27.2.4 of Live's manual:
# https://www.ableton.com/en/manual/midi-and-key-remote-control/
# - Try the various modes to see which works best for you.
