Midi Mapping to act like the arrow keys to browse clips ?

Post by pjlavin » Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:08 am

Trying to DJ in live without much laptop keyboard or mouse -just my keyboard - with a ozonic midi controller.

-In session view if you use the arrow keys on your mac keyboard you can go left right up down to highlight a clip on any track that if you hit enter will play...

How can I map the same function the arrow keys on a keyboard do in session view ( surf around highlighting different clips) on a controller ?

I hope you can help

if you're on a mac, you can use a program called midistroke to map keyboard functions (like up/down arrows) to a midi controller. i'm sure there is a pc equivalent out there too.
