Sending MIDI CC to active chain only?
Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2018 9:39 pm
I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to use a midi-mapped knob to send CC to only a selected chain in a rack?
For example, I have a channel in Live 10 which contains an instrument rack with 5 instruments, each on their own chain. I'm using the chain selector to move between them and I have a knob on one of my midi controllers which I want to use as filter cutoff for all of them, but only have it affect the selected chain. I've tried using a M4L midi filter but I can't seem to get it to filter CCs, only notes. I don't know if I'm misunderstanding how the filter works . I've also tried the "chain selector filters MIDI ctrl" option but it doesn't seem to do anything. I should also mention that the chains mostly contain Wavetable and Serum patches.
Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid using Clyphx or anything like that. There has to be a way to do this within Ableton's UI right?
