Ableton Forum

i would like to figure out how to trigger clips with the apc40 and have the selected clip's waveform appear. By that i mean the view where you can see all the warp markers. Any idea why i can't seem to get this to happen? I've tried select-on-launch but it doesn't seem to help at all.

I figured select on launch and keeping the Detail View open would work.. could you maybe be on track view and not clip view?

I am definitely in clip view...

The easiest way to explain it is this...

If i click on the clip (anywhere but the play button), it will select the clip.
If i click on the little play button on the clip, it does NOT select the track.
Triggering clips with the APC does the same thing as clicking on the play button.

Does anyone here know how to remedy this problem? The little gray clip/track button on the APC40 loses it's value to me, if i still have to mess with the keyboard to select the clip.

With select on launch ON, pressing the play button selects the clip - at least over here.. So it may be a bug, what version are you using..

so i decided to install 7.0.18 on a DIFFERENT COMPUTER and plugged in the APC and now it does everything i want it to, instantly. The problem is isolated to ONLY this other laptop here...

so guess it's time to reinstall live or reinstall the OS on this thing.

thanks for your help.
