MIDI Control that only affects the current tracks device

Post by Gravis » Tue Apr 20, 2010 11:11 pm

Hi guys, i've had a search, read a bunch of different options but can't find anything obvious for my solution.

I have 12 tracks, each with a beat repeat on it and a MIDI controller that has an endless rotary controller on it.

I would like to be able to have that knob on the controller change the interval on the beat repeat but ONLY for the currently selected track, I do NOT want it to change the value on ALL beat repeats on all channels.

Right now i can only assign it to one beat repeat interval knob, OR, if i assign it to all of them then they all change at the same time :(

This doesn't sound like it should be a hard thing to do so if someone can point me to the right place in the manual im more than happy to read.

I have Max4Live if needed :)

Cheers

Items like the APC 40 give you the ability to change through highlighted tracks and change the effect, but normally, you cannot do this without actually midi mapping each to a different knob.
