Very helpful - thanks for the tip!rozling wrote:I suppose I'd better post a Stuff I Wish I'd Figured Out A Long Time Ago - for me it's these bad boys (below). I don't know why, I'm pretty sure there's a keyboard shortcut set up for them but these buttons are gold for me - all they do is swap from Notes to Envelopes view, previously I'd been going down to the show/hide boxes... mmm so much better now.
Mine recent fave discovery is holding down the shift key while dragging automation points over other points to overwrite them.

Just realised that therefore if you select the entire scene and do a Command - E to remove all stop buttons you can change the bpm without stopping what's currently playing.make wrote:entering bpms in the scene launch column [on the far righthand side] will change Lives overall bpm when clicked.
Finally!
I already have a knob on my Axiom assigned to the tempo, and a pad assigned to Tap.
Hmm - maybe I'm tempo hopping a bit too much...
groove trick
If you are fond of a rhythm that doesn't match the grid, adjust the warp markers so it plays perfect with the grid, then ( in arrangement view) in the sample box click the Slave button to activate this clip as the master tempo. you can loop this clip throughout the song and mute it. This will adjust the tempo of the song dynamically as your track plays. Every track that has warp enabled will be warped to the rhythm of the track that is setting the master tempo.

How to select different Racks in your live set using automap
(in this example, using the Novation Remote SL)
On all tracks it will select the first Rack or device - though strangely (perhaps usefully) on midi tracks it will jump to select the instrument rather than any midi devices before it

I checked it out and it works!4.33 wrote: by tapping twice on the bottom row of the rightmost buttons (the Arm buttons) you can switch from track to track and, behold, from Rack to Rack!!
