TouchOSC-Kontrol X1 CONTROL EDITING
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:46 am
Just can't figure any way around to this.. hope anybody could help..
For performance, I like to constantly see the waveform of the tracks being mixed or played at the same moment (2 or 3). Live doesn't provide that, you can only see one waveform at a time.
I tried to route sound from Ableton into Traktor and of course what an idiot I am the sound is there but the waveform coming from Live into Traktor is not there.
My best way around this as far as I know, is to use just Ableton as main software and switch clip views clicking on the keyboard? or in the controller??. Since I don't know how to do that, all I can do when I am mixing 2 or 3 clips/tracks is to use the mouse and find the other clip/track, click once on the clip (NOT IN THE PLAY SYMBOL) and voila, I can see the waveform of the track.
What I am trying to avoid is all that waste of time looking for the other clip or clips that are being mixed. For midi controlling I like TOUCH OSC and Kontrol X1. Touchable is fine but I don't need all the volume faders there since I use Pioneer 2000 or 800.
Then my issue is that I can't midi map just the SELECTION OF THE CLIP. It gives me the option of midi mapping the PLAY OR STOP of the clip but NOT THE SELECTION OF THE CLIP.
Also I would like to use the knobs of the Kontrol X1 to scroll up and down the tracks per channel (similar to what APC does with BANK SELECT but just one by one track and in separate audio channels. But if i can't just figure out out to assign midi control to SELECTION OF A CLIP, the scrolling is just a dream for me.
Does anybody know what can I do? Should I just learn how to script a new command in Controller Editor of Native INstruments (for Kontrol X1) or OSCulator (for TouchOSC)? Is that a real possibility? If APC can scroll tracks Kontrol X1 (or any controller) should do it too no?
Also in the meantime anyone knows if there is something in the keyboard to switch clips that ARE BEING MIXED AT THE SAME TIME?
Thanks for you help in advance
