Selecting Channels and scenes using remote

Post by iavine » Tue Feb 01, 2005 2:40 pm

Hi guys,

I'm putting together a controller and I want to be able to select tracks to see what the effects are doing. In addition I want to be able to select a scene (row) to allow triggering of clips. I can do this using the cursor keys but as soon as anything else is clicked on (effects, sample...) the cursor keys stop working for scene and channel select and I have to click on a clip to get things working again.

I've noticed the faderfox controllers have a control for selecting track/scene, so it must be possible.

What have I missed ?

Ctrl + K and Ctrl + M is what you have been missing
