Can I route MIDI on same track to record arpeggiator notes?

[stalker_on]

Hello,

I am searching for a way to record midi from the arpeggiator in ableton live9, but withouth routing midi from one track and recording it on a second separate track

What I want is a way to record midi notes from midi devices such as chord/arpeggiator but somehow route it on the same track. I need to do this because I want to build a setup where I use mackie control devices and those devices detect my tracks automatically, so having more tracks because of the midi routing would block/fill up my track channels on the hardware device in a bad way

Any solutions to this, a max for live plugin or something?

Help/suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Even if you were to use a sequencer for storing your source patterns, instead of the clip, you couldn't record it on the same track to the best of my knowledge.

How about investigating the idea putting a recordable sequencer after the MIDI devices and record the result to there? I suppose this sequencer would need to be able to save or export its patterns to a clip for further perusal. I don't know of a suitable sequencer, but there might be one.

Side-note: Does the Mackie actually find every track, also in groups?

thanks, Stromkraft, for the reply.

the setups you suggested, with sequencers to help, is a bit too complicated for what I have in mind, I need something really simple and to the point, easy quick workflow.

but your side-note has a point. I really don't know if Mackie picks up groups and assigns them to tracks or not. If not, it would be a good thing, though it won't solve the problem entirely. will investigate this further
