Set exact values in mono sequencer

Post by frontmanbeats » Fri May 14, 2021 8:05 pm

Hello

I can't seem to drag the columns in the sequence data lane to a precise number. For example 100 in the duration. Is there anyway to set it with the keyboard?

What if you hold Shift while dragging?

That does not make any difference. I also tried holding other keys.

tbh, I don't have any problem getting to the desired value.
Are you using the latest version (from the M4L Essentials pack)?

Actually I found out it's only the duration that is hard to get exact. The other values, velocity and pitch are easier

Probably not OP's problem, but Shift+drag doesn't work in Pen Tablet Mode.

I've never used this mode, but I need to ask if it's supposed to be this way or not.

I always used a graphic tablet with Live, and it always worked like that for years, as far as I can remember.

Maybe, just maybe, it worked better way back in Live 9? Either it shift+drag worked, or if you switched to mouse, the shift+drag worked with it (not the pen). I have a faint memory it worked better in the past, but could be just wishful thinking...

But for many years shift+drag doesn't work in Pen Tablet Mode (in Windows 10, forgot to mention I'm on Win 10, no idea how it works in MacOS).
