forgot to map in drumrack...any hint?

Post by camoz » Thu Feb 26, 2015 6:37 pm

i ve got lots of samples in drumrack and forgot to map them in the beginning to a macro.
is there a hint to copy e.g. all "transpose" values in drumrack to one macro?

there's a way, but it's a hidden feature that has never been made 'official'.
to use it, you need to add a little instruction to Live's Options.txt file.

see this general info about the Options.txt file:
https://www.ableton.com/en/articles/opt ... file-live/

once you have the Options.txt file on your system, you need to add a little instruction to it.
just type -EnableMapToSiblings in your Options.txt, save it, and restart Live.

now you can right-click a knob of a device inside a rack to map it to a macro, then right-click it again to see this:

this one copies the current value of a parameter to all other samples. i would like to map e.g. all transpose to a macro and of course not manually.

nope, that's 'copy value to siblings'.
the option at the bottom of the menu pic is what you want.

Yep garyboozy is right. This is so helpful, I don't know why it's not enabled by default.
