selecting return channel via apc40?

Post by laurentius » Thu Apr 15, 2010 2:21 pm

i was wondering if it is possible to select the return channel strips via the apc40. the reason why i want to do this is to turn devices in my busses on or of. so far i can only do this via selecting the return channel via mouse - then the apc works fine...

What I did was re-mapping first 4 "record" buttons to select corresponding return channels instead.

Live has support for Return and Group tracks natively -- I believe starting with 8.1.1, but certainly in the latest beta (8.1.3b2) Return tracks show up after the rightmost track on the APC. Just navigate past your last track and you can use the track selector buttons to select a return track.

FYI, to open/close a Group track, just press and hold down on the Track select button of the group track.
Best,
Jesse
