APC40: Collapse/Expand Track Groups

Panoramica · Post by **Panoramica** » Sun Jan 31, 2010 12:30 am

Hi all,

I couldn't find any info online on how to collapse/expand the new Live 8 track groups with the APC.

So when I finally figured it out I'd thought I'd post the answer here in case anyone else is having this problem

* Hold down the 'Track Selection' button (for the group channel) for 1-2 seconds *

This expands the group if it is collapsed / collapses the group if it is expanded.

If this is old news to everyone I'd appreciate a link to some other source for this info - AFAIK there's no official info on new Live 8 features as they pertain to the APC40

Cheers,
Dan

Good find. I didn't know you could do that. Now if I could only find a way to control the faders in a drum rack.

I didn't, I just worked it out for myself..

The first time I did it I was excited but I didn't know how I'd done it. So then I trawled Google - nothing

- and finally after trying various combinations on the APC stumbled across the right one!

That was mentioned in the release notes for Live 8.1

great tip !

EDIT: but it doesn't work on my drum racks

So what's the final verdict?

I do not understand why it does work on a grouped track but not on a drum rack created from slicing for example.
It is such a great feature, that's a pity that it does not work in general. Is it a bug or any other reason for this behavior?

It's a great trick that would be 10000000x more useful if it worked with drum racks.

Hui,i did not know that up to now.
Nice one!
+1 that this should work in drumracks also!
