Hi all.
I will for sure buy one of these Ableton controllers, (not decided which one ...yet)
but i wonder how they work with other midi programs.
Are there any drivers needed, or are they plug and play ?

Does any of these controllers appear as a generic usb-midi device (without drivers)?
Eg. for ...

I can't find scrub shortcuts (or midi mappable) for the arrange view.
Is this possible ?

old topic, just a reminder.

So many things i like, just a few i don't...:

1. Rearranging tracks can screw up the key/midi mappings.
Say you have a clip on track 1 assigned in key "a" and another from track 2 on key "b"
If you swap those tracks, key/midi assignments are swapped too.

If yes is it the default behaviour or needs programming ?

Is there a way to have a permanent / fixed midi mapping ?

it's been brought up a few times here (have a search for alias or ghost clips). there was a response from ableton acknowledging this, so hopefully we'll see it sometime soon.

Hopefully they can come up with a way to use this feature between session and arrange clips - that would be a great ...

Thank you for the very quick replay.

Is it me that found this very useful ?
I needed to remix a track recently and because i wanted to experiment first, i ended up with many different versions of clips, slowing down my workflow, at my best moment (my peak of creativity...)

Is it ever posted in ...
