Selecting tracks and clips using midi-mapping

[bs-1]

Hi there

I'm preparing a live gig and my goal is to use the mouse as less as possible.
Is it possible to map knobs to select the tracks and clips and trigger the selected clip using midi-mapping?
I've tried some things without success.

Thanx in advance.

You can map scene launch, scroll up/down (buttons) and scroll up/down (rotary) in midi mapping mode.

go into midi map mode and look at the four squares below the scene launch buttons in the master channel

Also you can map a button to trigger and stop the selected track per channel

Is it that easy?
I will take a look at it tonight.

Thank you very much!

that is my minimalistic basic two knobs & two buttons setup.

knob1 to scene select
that knob will allow to scroll up/down through the scenes

button1 - deck A
button2 - deck B
map each button to both title track A and track status display A and
respectively for B
this is neat trick (found it two days ago) works like that:
- if clip is active in selected deck it will switch to its waveform - it is good
for seeing if loop is active, where is located and allows you to check where
are your cue points (you can use warp markers for that)
- if there is no active clip in selected deck it will switch to that deck without
changing scene position (knob1)

knob2 to clip scrub control
that knob has two functions:
-acts as play for selected clip with buttons 1,2 and knob1
-allow neat scrub function (changing into various song positions in sync,
or works as panic knob if track is ending and you didn't cue another one)

please note that clip scrub control and scene select buttons are only
visible in midi mapping mode. those are invisible in normal operation mode
so there's a chance thet you don't know how those works yet- feel free to
experiment. please refer to info view (or manual) for finding described fields
for mapping.

thoffir, I really like this layout. While remaining simple, there's some really conceptual things going one here which would influence how people play. Thanks for the tip.
