MIDI mapping: "track down/up" instead of "scene down/up"?

Post by deHaan » Tue May 23, 2017 7:26 am

Hi,

Is there a secret way to map a MIDI controller to "track down/up" like you can map it to "scene down/up"?

I want my MIDI controller to launch the next clip in a track every time i push a button :)

Thank you!

Scene and track highlight are essentially the same.

There is an option in preferences called 'select next scene on launch'. But it would affect the entire row of clips, not just the clips of a single channel. If that's what you're referring to.

Yeah pretty simple with ClyphX.

Just use the "play >" or "play <" action and map it to your controller

The manual states:
Launch the Prev/Next Clip Slot relative to the playing Clip. This will not Launch empty slots and does not apply to Group Tracks.

Where in Live are these "play >" or "play <" actions?

Hi Florian, those commands are from a software called ClyphX Pro which gives you access to lots more possibilities in Ableton.
