well that works, but then I have to use 8 different midi buttons to arm 8 different tracks.

Wish there was a way to arm CURRENTLY SELECTED track.

I guess I'll be able to tweak that up, thanks for your help!

i just assign the arm buttons to the # buttons on my computer keyboard, and save my template.

then when i have to arm like 10 tracks at once, i just drag my finger across that top row of the computer keyboard.

Hey Adam, I'm just curious, but can you hit 10 keys at once on your computer (mac right ?), cause here on my IBM, using for exemple F# keys to mute tracks or computer keys as a MIDI keyboard, I can only hit like 5 at once, until my computer "beeps", telling me that I've put too many fingers at once ! IBM PC speaking.....

no, you can't on Mac. when i am arming tracks, after 3 keys it stops recognizing new keys. i can get up to like 4 or 5 on the F# keys for mutes before it wigs out.

though for arming tracks i dont hit them at once... i do kind of a liberachi move and run my finger from left to right.

you people have bleep sounds turned on? That's got to be the most annoying sound in the world :-|

This is a good place to do an AutoHotKey script by the way.
