Keyboard control of currently selected track etc

Post by baseinstinct » Fri Nov 11, 2016 10:05 pm

Hi

It would be very live to be able to navigate the panels with alt+cursors (was in live 5 I think), mute selected track, change to previous or next track regardless of which panel you are in.

Any way to use max for live for that?

Cheers

i'm pretty sure that if you do a search on maxforlive.com you'll find something like this.
MacBook Pro 13" Retina i7 2.8 GHz OS 10.13, L10.0.1, M4L.
MacStudio M1Max 32Go OS 12.3.1

Try GoodKeys if you run Live on Microsoft Windows:

Cool! I can't believe it has not been propagated yet. If it works, I am happy to put a link to it in a footer of my messages - if you agree.

Something is causing it not to work, though. I have posted in the original thread.

PS. Sorry for a late answer.

Honestly? That would be great. If so, I will give it a good thought and come back with a dream-list.

I published a new corrected version. Live 9.5-9.7 support has been added.

Cool, many thanks. I have already installed it. There are some issues with the character positioning on the little window (windows 7 64 bit, 1280/1024 resolution here).
