Sorry for typos... "Drum rack IS GREAT but I was away.... "

for setting up interesting, improv like ways to play your own stuff (or whichever sounds really..) in tot. unpredictable ways , it might not get better than that if you have ''just'' Ableton and controllers so thanx for the tip yo :)

The nice thing about the drum rack is, you can have a few drum racks in one set. And just switch to a different drum rack for a whole new setup of sounds.

Another cool thing about drum racks is that you can record a midi clip of yourself triggering sounds. And then loop it, and play more and also ...

There should be a Global Channel change parameter.

In most cases, what they have is a channel 0 for the pads/faders to follow on with te Global parameter, and then there is the option of designating a specific channel to any that you want to consistently stay on one specific channel.

I think there are scripts floating around that let you use MPDs like an APC (a 4x4 border around clips which you can move all around).

I don't feel like searching. I'd type 'mpd 32 script' or something.

Otherwise, some other options are:

1. Instead of clips, use a drum rack. I admit that this ...

i've found a fun to have a this happen. albeit without mapping yet.
using the Device Randomizer in Live 9.

i've been loading up homemade sounds in simpler..then loading up a Device Randomizer.
fire in a midi sequence, map the simpler title bar to the randomizer and it works its magic.
you can ...

dont know what that means :(
He's saying that's not possible unless you buy an additional product called Max for Live and hope that some uber geek has already hacked together a patch for Max for Live that may do what you want.

I think a much easier and sensible solution to get the type of ...

Go to the MIDI TAB of Sampler. On the Mod Wheel line, select Sample Offset from the menu and adjust the modulation's amount. OK, it's not as flexible as the normal MIDI mapping of Live, but it's very easy to set up and don't require MaxForLive.

Wonder what/if there is a work around to be able to map the sample start/ inside SIMPLER or SAMPLER to the MPD's knobs/faders ?

I was bummed when noticed it does not allow to map them

I have mapped all MPD 32 pads in 4 vertical by 4 trax/channel on Live 8 in that way I have 16 mapped clips by 4 diff. tracks.. So 4 trax with 16 clips each.. each of the 16clips on each of the 4 tx correspond to a single track I have chopped up to be able to play/re-arrange them 'live'....

Since I ...

OK, thanx very much for your info, now at least I can keep working without worrying too much .. experimenting i hope that slowly i would get to understand Program Change and be able to use it effectively

Still havent been able to understand how to use that featere considering all I use is Live 8... I read the manual, I understand what it says but not in practice... I mapped mopst of MPD32 and UC-33 controllers to either effect parameters, to trigger session view clips or volume faders in Live ...

Cool, thanx for genius
