Scene-based keyboard mapping...mmmmm

Ok, lemme try to explain this.

Rather than assigning keys to SPECIFIC clips, why not be able to map a row of keys to only the selected SCENE. That way, the ASDF row (for example) could trigger a new set of clips just by selecting a different scene. This would be fantastic.
There is a feature somewhat like this - the function keys f1-f8 serve to mute/unmute the audio track. But those aren't quantizable - they're just audio, not clip triggers.

What do y'all think?

Hi Dennis,

we are going to do "context-based" keyboard and MIDI mapping, pretty much the way you have suggested.

Right on!

Any idea when that might be implemented? Is this something for the future, or something planned for 2.0?

Thanks,

Sounds good.

If you need a beta tester for that any time soon, feel free to let me know (hint hint hint - that feature would make my approach to Live SO much easier to implement.)

Thanks,
