give focus to instruments / change instrument focus

Post by kroe » Sun Apr 10, 2011 2:17 am

normally when you change a track using a midi assignment the track get the focus, and you cannot switch between the instruments/efx to control their parameters...

do someone knows a nice way of changing the track and start tweak just after it ?

and than to change the focus between them you have to use the arrow keys? do someone knows another way?

the only way i can image would be have a midi to keystroke converter... any solution apart from it ?

tks a lot in advance

I think midi to keystroke converter is a good idea.

I'm sure you can do this with a control surface emulation, there are a left and right device buttons on the APC40, this might be a good place to start....

You don't say which midi controller you're using though?

Just a question that might give some other people an idea of how to help....

Cheers
