Change the way Live 9 adds browser samples into the project

Post by biestyboy » Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:51 am

Hi. Does anyone know if it's possible to change the way Live 9 adds a sample from the browser into a project? Currently when double clicking or pressing enter it creates a new audio track and adds the sample there. It would be handy for me if it created a MIDI track and added it into a Simpler device like what it does if you drag the sample to an existing MIDI track. It's no biggie but I'm trying to use my mouse less and it would be handy.

Right click on sample, convert to midi? Then you have a rack full of simplers!

That does not happen for me. If I drag the sample into an existing midi track, the midi track just turns intop an audio track.

Are you using Live 9?

EDIT* Sorry, see from your signature that you are. Was it a fresh install or an upgrade?

Assuming you're dragging the sample into the detail pane of the MIDI track, I can only assume that some of your Live 8 settings have migrated with your Live 9 update. Mine was a fresh install onto a new machine and for me the default behaviour when dragging a sample from the browser into the detail pane of a MIDI track is for it to create a Simpler and pop it into there. Quite handy but would be even handier if I could just hit enter in the browser and it did the same.

I also want to do that, anyone out there who has found a way? Also, there is no possibility to MIDI-Map the sample-HotSwap of Simpler, and no option to hit that button via M4L.
Really frustrating at the moment. All I want is to create a new Simpler from a Sample mouse-free without Push :)

Ideas anyone?
