Selecting a clip without launching it with an APC20?

Post by thisissami » Thu Aug 16, 2012 2:00 am

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out if there's any way that I can use my APC20 to select a clip without launching it, seeing as how I can't use the hardware to delete a clip?

Best,
Sami

If the clip is playing you can map to the pie chart at the bottom of a track to bring it to view...

If not then no, unless you have max4live... My Isotonik LE device does this for the APC40...

so there's effectively no way to do this without dropping some more cash to buy max4live?

and does your device do this for APC20s as well or solely for APC40s?

i figured that if you can both launch a clip and not select it AND launch a clip and select it, then you should also be able to also select a clip without launching it...

only with the mouse, the isotonik LE device does it for the APC40, i dont have a 20 so you'd have to reprogram it...
