Midi controller min and max settings for everything

How do you do that, i'm reading the manual, but can't find that feature ???

Ah OK got it, but not all parameters can have limits set

for example transpose can't be limited to a range, same for the clip scrub control

The workaround is select several clips with shift-clicking or selecting(not launching) a scene. Then you can transpose all of them at the same time. Or do loop windowing.. IIRC, i don't have my controllers hooked up right now.

Thanks, great tip! I was thinking of a way to do it by external midi though (=pedals, since I use hands for playing instruments).

BTW, thanks for the great hint on using Auto Pan chaining on FX return! Testing it right now with my live set-up Chaining Beat Repeat is also cool for animating fx's

yeah, I know you're a pedal kinda guy - so it's still just a compromise, but it would give you what you want.

i keep noticing things, here are a couple:

1 - did anyone notice that your freeze files are now saved as permenant wav's in your sound directory??

they're labled something like "freeze # - clip name.wav". i just noticed this, not sure yet whether it happened because of a "save self contained" command or what ... but this is AWESOME

they must have been listening to us. now if we can only get them to make this a part of the new "Consolidate in Session View" command thats coming in a future rev. (it is coming, right?)

2 - hold down your control key while scrolling up/down with the mouse wheel in session. the grid scrolls horizontally.
.

Heres a small one

If you are buried in the broswer (say 4-5 levels deep whilst auditioning loops or presets), you can double click the corresponding File Browser button and all the open folders will close and the browser will collapse to its root directory - saves heaps of time!
