Selecting correct note mode for Push in multi-chain rack.

Post by patrickstinson » Tue Jul 23, 2013 5:41 am

It appears that Push decides whether to use scale mode or drum sequencer mode by looking at the first chain in an instrument rack. I have one chain per song, and the type of instrument changes per song and I just disable the chains that are not in use. Is there any way to force push to use a certain mode for a track, or somehow map it to a macro knob? It would be nice to be able to sequence the drums and play the keys.

Thanks!

How are you triggering the chain selector change?
I'm asking because you could set something like this up with clyphx and x-clips.

So you would name your clips, that play the different parts (and have the chainselector automated I assume?!):

Code: Select all

[Clip Name] PUSH DRINS
If you also want to tell it which scale it should be in, and what should be the root you could call it:

Code: Select all

[Clip Name] PUSH DRINS ; PUSH SCL TYPE MAJOR ; PUSH SCL ROOT C
The Scale type and Root are of course for you to decide, the above are just examples.

There is only one small problem: And that is I don't see a function in clyphx to force it back to Drumrack mode?!

I would relate these questions to Stray over at the clyphx beatwise forums, he may know the answer/be willing to help.
