missing MIDI controllers and Follow features

Post by Vix Neiv » Mon Jan 10, 2005 1:18 pm

Hi

I use Live with a CMLab Motormix, so i had to make a small application with Max/MSP© to transform MIDI Controllers of Live in Sysex messages for the MotorMix.
All works fine, except :
- Controllers for clip launching (in fact i use notes on, because there's not enought controllers) don't send back the state of the clip (playing or stopped), i need it because i made "+1" and "-1" clip launch buttons for each track (live can only do that for the master scene)
- Solo button follow its assigned controller, but won't send back its state at all. (but mutes, faders.. do it)
- Follow Action features are not saved with audio clips, so is it really usefull ?

I bought Live 3, then Live 4 (and i had to pay the big upgrade), i posted lots of wishlists, Live is a great Soft, but we really need updates !!!

You may have some points here, but I personally would be very annoyed if follow actions were stored with the audio clip.
But I would like to be able to grab clips from sets (not audio files), and then their follow actions naturally should be preserved.
