Auto arm when selecting a channel

Post by Jobsworth » Wed Aug 26, 2015 2:53 am

When I select a channel in the session mode is doesn't auto-arm meaning when playing live the keyboard does nothing.

Using the controllers track selection buttons does auto-arm the channel which is fine but if I am selecting a track with the trackpad it doesn't and I have to remember to arm it.

Is there any way to arm a the channel automatically when selecting it like the Novation controller does?

I don't think there is unfortunately.
