Ableton Forum

I have been using drum racks very heavily lately and need to know if there's a way to scroll through the drum rack using a midi controller or some other way than using the mouse. I know if the drum rack is in focus you can use the keyboard arrows to scroll, but can i do this without ableton focused on that particular drum rack? I can't seem to do this in the midi mappings. Any help appreciated. Thank You!

First post, but it is about time I start contributing when I can. All you need to do is put a scale plugin before the drum rack. Then map a knob to transpose and you should be able to scroll up and down through the rack. Hope this helps.

how can you set it to your settings?

my drum rack's "pads" are set to notes, so i don't have to scroll up and down, i just tell it which samples go into the notes. mine goes C0-C6.

i've seen the set up where the outline matches up to a specific range, thus when you move up and down, the notes match your controller. how can you set that up?

Select the drum rack, hit A or Z to jump through the octaves.

i use a m audio trigger finger, i map the controller so different presets banks/pages scroll up, this is effectively the same as hitting a octave on a keyboard but in increments that perfectly match the drum racks.....works well!
