selecting multiple devices, not next to each other

[djcyph]

im going crazy here....if i have one device selected then shift click another one, it selects everything in between. ive tried every other modifier key to try to select just certain devices. is this not possible? i could of sworn ive done this a million times before. just like you can with selecting certain tracks

Try Ctrl-click (pc) or Cmd-click (mac)

i did...ill try again when home...maybe it was just weird bug and i have to restart?

anyone?

Holy shit you're right.

Just tested this in Live 8 too, and you can only select multiple devices if they're next to each other.

Now I'm going crazy too!

seems like such a simple thing to help workflow when grouping to create racks.....another thing that is bugging me is not being able to scroll horizontally in the browser

It's not changed in Live 9, it was like this for selecting devices in Live 8. The cmd thing works for tracks, and clips in session, though

Whay do you mean by scrolling horizontally in the Browser cyph? To show long file names you mean?

yea man....i know you can expand the browser window but i dont want the browser take up more screen real estate so rather have horizontal scroll bars

Here it works as in live 8, it's the shift click, not the ctrl click.

Yes, of course. I have first an operator, then 5 fx's: flanger, phaser, compressor, chorus and at last the EQ8, now I klick with hold shift the first device operator and then the last device EQ8, all devices in between are selected and I can choose with my context menue: group and my new rack is ready. I don't know, what the shift key is on Mac, but it has to work for you also. Maybe it's a bug only on Mac.

I did it thousand times in live 8 and now in live 9, no problems.

ur misunderstanding the problem...i dont want it to select everything in between. in your example i would want to select operator and eq8 and nothing else

For what purpose do you want to select those two?

what Funk said and also, to A/B certain devices in a chain at same time that are not next to each other for specific reasons

Hey, I thought of a way to do that. Maybe you already thought of this, might as well mention it anyway. Keymap the on/off switches of the different devices to the same key. Works nicely.

yea, thats my workaround but not always plausible. thanks though!
