racks behavior

Post by krikor » Tue Oct 10, 2006 11:25 pm

Is there a way to move the chain selector faster than opening the arrow for it? except midi of course, i want to use it as a preset selector and i don't know if this is possible without opening the chain window...

if you automap to it it will be the first knob

you can map the chain selector to a range of MIDI keyboard keys - then you can use each key to flip through your 'presets.' Does that help?

What about mapping the Chain selector to a Macro, and turning that Macro with the mouse, or entering numbers for the macro with the computer keyboard?
