Possible to scroll through a Drum Rack w/ a Midi Controller?
Possible to scroll through a Drum Rack w/ a Midi Controller?
I have been using drum racks very heavily lately and need to know if there's a way to scroll through the drum rack using a midi controller or some other way than using the mouse. I know if the drum rack is in focus you can use the keyboard arrows to scroll, but can i do this without ableton focused on that particular drum rack? I can't seem to do this in the midi mappings. Any help appreciated. Thank You!

First post, but it is about time I start contributing when I can. All you need to do is put a scale plugin before the drum rack. Then map a knob to transpose and you should be able to scroll up and down through the rack. Hope this helps.

Re: Possible to scroll through a Drum Rack w/ a Midi Controller?
how can you set it to your settings?
my drum rack's "pads" are set to notes, so i don't have to scroll up and down, i just tell it which samples go into the notes. mine goes C0-C6.
i've seen the set up where the outline matches up to a specific range, thus when you move up and down, the notes match your controller. how can you set that up?

Select the drum rack, hit A or Z to jump through the octaves.

i use a m audio trigger finger, i map the controller so different presets banks/pages scroll up, this is effectively the same as hitting a octave on a keyboard but in increments that perfectly match the drum racks.....works well!
