I'm on Live 8

It just seems weird because the macro numbers are 0-127 but when you hover over the macro with the mouse the value in db or Hz shows in the status bar at the bottom, so I know it is recognizing the information. It just isn't translating it to the macro. Sees like there should be a workaround or a se...

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the additional solutions. It sounds great. Unfortunately, it is completely over my head. I still have yet to build a device or use any scripting. I'll get there eventually.

Yeah, not seeing that option. Tried it with a few different plugs too.

Geez! Thank you so much!

I've done the sampler version too but I like this method better. PLus, replacing sample in sampler brings up the same issue with default settings. There has got to be a simple simpler default solution.

I would like to set a default simpler with a higher release time and greater velocity then the standard default. I have seen how to set a default for dropping samples into a drum rack.

I have been all over the internet including the forums for days now. I apologize if I overlooked this solution somewhere. I am brand new to Max fo Live (though long time Ableton user) and don't know how it works at all. I just bought it to use the sixteen macros device (awesome). I have an AKAI LPD8...

Thanks everybody. After all the feedback and much thought, I agree. I think it will be easier to record everything into clips in the session view. I can always slice it and dice it and rearrange things later. For whatever reason i associated the clips with only things that loop. It dawned on me that...
