Is midi preview a thing yet?

[FenixRizn]

I use a lot of drum midi packs as starting points for tracks. Has ableton added a proper way to preview drum midi with the selected drum vst yet? It really slows the creative process having to drag each file to the session to get an idea of what you’re working with. The midi sound is useless for drum files. My best drum libraries all failed to put in a midi player for this purpose so I find myself in cubase 15 most of the time. Cubase has way more than I need and it’s an overly crowded gui.

There's no easy solution to this unfortunately.

Thank you for the reply. Just out of curiosity, is this a coding thing? All my other daws have this feature except for Ableton and Bitwig. Or the way audio is handled within the daw?

It would require a considerable amount of work which would need to be prioritised accordingly.
I suggest you add this as a feature wish on Centercode and others can upvote it.
