Re: Setting up drum racks...

if you have sampler, you can change your default when dragging on a drum rack to be sampler rather than simpler. Sampler will allow you to stream samples from disk, avoiding the memory footprint of loading 48 samples using simpler.

Re: Mapping samples to AKAI MPD24 pads with Ableton Live lite 7

you're looking for the instrument called "drum rack".

not sure if lite for Line 6 comes with drum rack, but that's what you're describing.

Re: Using the Akai MPK-25 Controllers with Live

the theory is when you switch banks, there wont be any jumping of parameters.

in other words, knob 1 on bank a is set to 127, knob 1 on bank b is set to 64.

turn know 1 on bank a to 0, switch to bank b, the knob is still set to 64.
