a very useful MIDI tip

[adleg]

Hello to all,

I have a question to devicecontrol in ableton.

I have a foot pedal with eight buttons and one pedal (encoder).
So by automapping I can only control 1 macro from the 8 macros in the rack.

Is there a possibility to navigate between the 8 encoders of one rack.
So, that I would be able to select the different macros via two buttons...

This would be fantastic for playing guitar changing the sound while playing...

Thx for your help,
Adrian

You could assign the mod pedal to control macro 1. Then assign the pedals each to select a different rack. So make multiple racks. Or embed racks.

To assign a pedal to a rack just map it to the top bar of the rack used for selecting and naming the rack.
