selecting sample display via midi?

Post by A_Guy » Sat Apr 19, 2008 10:17 am

How does some one set focus to the “sample display”? I want to be able to zoom in and out with my midi controller, but the buttons will only work if I have clicked on the “sample display” first.

there is a button that does this, in midi-map mode there is an area you can select, its at the bottom of the vertical track-column in session-view. there are a few buttons there, exposed in the midi-map mode. one of those buttons is a clip-select button.

OK i think i found where you are talking about, it does make the tracks wave form apear below. Problem is that i still cant use the + and - buttons to zoom in and out.

only way i have found to do this is to actualy click on the wave form and then press the + and -

surely there must be a way to select the wave form with out a mouse.

...actually I think you're right ... it's 3 down arrows....!!!

Bome's is such a great tool...

...here's a good one...

Alt+E+ 19 Downarrows + Rightarrow +Enter = No record quantization

Alt+E+ 19 Downarrows + Rightarrow + 1 Downarrow +Enter= 1/4 note quant

Alt+E+ 19 Downarrows + Rightarrow + 2 Downarrow +Enter= 1/8 note quant

etc.

too bad I couldn't found a good way to map the OVR button..
..or to select the loop brace...

then it would be perfect for me...

the loop brace one is a huge pain, but if you map some relative encoders to the loop start/end number fields, and 2 buttons to loop start/end buttons, you will always get a quantized loop brace you can move around and resize.

yep.... I actually got all the clip params mapped...
still selecting loop brace and OVR would really make me happy I use those a lot

hangon - OVR is MIDI and KEY mappable - is that not what you mean? I have OVR mapped to my / key and use it all the time
