Using knobs as arrow keys

Post by tomas nader » Sat Aug 29, 2009 5:36 am

Hello

I want to use the knobs of the microkontrol controller to move up and down
over the clips and tracks,
like moving with the arrow keys but I can´t find a way to link them

Please
Does anyone know how to do that?


Thanks

Hi,

The Microkontrol has endless rotary encoders, right?

You can map one to scene up/down navigation easily - if you enter midi-map mode in Live, then in the Master track you will see a few extra controls appear - one of these is the Scene Select control which can be mapped to an endless rotary.

If you want to have the knob as a general cursor-up/down you need extra software that translates Midi into keyboard commands and do some manual working to get it going.
I object to how easy this forum can be used with fake accounts and question the continuous banishment of one specific user while allowing others to repeatedly publish insults, adult content, anti-women and anti-homosexual propaganda and racist statements.
