Thanks for the help! I had a feeling that it would be more hardware specific...I have been learning lots about MIDI as of late :) I think I will try to go the Compressor route though, as there are other songs where I will want to bend more than 1 semitone.

Automatically switch between VST instruments

I feel this must have come up in a previous post but have not been able to find it for the life of me! :?

I recently joined an electronic band and have to pull double-duty on a few songs...(bass and keyboard). I am trying to use Live to run our backing track and multiple VST plugins for myself to ...
