Control Transport position via controllers? Osc? MIDI?

Post by digid » Sat Feb 11, 2012 11:11 pm

Is it possible to send messages (midi? OSC? anything) to Live to control Transport position?

For example I want 33.1.1 to play one moment, then 11.2.4 the next moment, then 44.2.1 the next etc.

Any ideas?

Have a look at 'Locators' in the manual.

Sorry, I wasn't being clear enough. I know about locators. :)

What I want to do is improvise, so to speak, at random (more or less), and so I want continous changes to song position, not fixed positions like the ones locators offers.

Anyways, I found a solution yesterday using Max For Live and the "current_song_time" command, and can now basically jump around the arrangement as I please.
