Midi change view wave clip?

Post by Pettro » Thu Nov 26, 2009 11:28 pm

I search in the forum and in the manual but I cant find a way to change from seeing the effects to see the clip wave in the session view via a midi button.
I can assign midi to each track but when moving from track to track that automatically change it to the effects view that I have on each track.
I'd like to be able to switch from one to another with my midi controller. This is if I load a mp3 on a clip on session view I would like to view the EQ and then switch to the Wave form of the clip and then back to the EQ with my midi controller.

Any help?

Map your MIDI buttons to the top of track lanes.

F12 key to toggle clip/sample view.

You need to make sure that in the session grid the clip you want to see is selected (i.e. using arrow keys or by clicking with mouse).

thanks mode:masters.

I forgot to mention that I dont want to touch the computer or mouse to do this.

I want to know if there;s a way to switch view with my midi controller only.

any other options?
Is there any action that I can map to my midi controller, that make the clip wav to show up?
I dont care to have to map lots buttons to each individual clip. I just want to be able to view
the wave or the effect plug ins as needed, without touching keyboard/mouse.

Thanks

You can achieve this if you set up your midi controller to emulate a mackie control.

Lots of posts on the forum on this, search for mackie control emulation
