midi - focusing on plug in your using

Post by zacharia360bpm » Mon Jun 01, 2009 9:28 pm

Hello all...

I've been setting up my Akai MPD24 and its working great.
The problem I am running into is that LIVE won't jump focus to the plug in I'm controlling with my controller.

For instance...

I'm playing a track on Track 1 and the focus (the highlighted track) is on Track 1.
I start playing Track 2.
I have the cutoff of a filter mapped to a knob on the Akai coming from Track 2.
When I move the knob to control the cutoff LIVE doesn't jump to that plugin to show me where the cutoff is.

I would like LIVE to jump to the plugin I'm using when I move a knob or press a button on my controller, regardless of where I might be in the software, so I can visually see what I'm doing.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

I'm afraid as far as I'm aware this isn't possible although would be cool if so

map the effects title bar AND the cutoff to the one knob? Live 8 lets you map device selection to midi remember...

That might work :)

Should have got a Novation Remote SL, although Ableton doesn't tell you, the Novation does.
