A way to trigger scenes consecutively with one drum pad?

Post by dude rancher » Wed Feb 24, 2010 1:35 am

is there a way to trigger scenes consecutively almost like a round robin with one drum pad that is assigned only one midi note. the ideal way for this to work would be the first pad strike would start the first scene. another strike would trigger the second scene and so on.

Enable MIDI mapping and you will see a new Play triangle button appear in the Master channel. (midway down the left hand side of the pic). This is the Scene Launch button. Assign this to your drum pad. In Live's Record/Warp/Launch preferences switch on "Select Next Scene on Launch".

Now if you highlight the first scene you want to trigger with your mouse, hitting the pad will play this scene, and repeated hits of the pad will trigger the subsequent scenes below it.
