quick access to presets?

Post by mrtunes » Sat Aug 27, 2011 11:18 pm

what's your best way of calling up presets quickly while you're in performance? right now i'm just gathering up some of my favourite presets into its own folder using windows explorer. i imagine that for instrument racks i could institute some kind of patch switching, but it looks like the browser is the only option for now. looking for general tips here.

Highlight titlebar (also midi or key assignable) of instrument, hit Enter key. Ableton browser jumps to hotswap mode within browser at source of your current preset (nice if you have your favorites all in one folder). Hit up/down arrow keys and hit Enter for preset you want to swap. Escape to leave hotswap mode.

Funtip: fun results on individual synths or fx if you hotswap while recording in Arrangement View. Not as reliable with racks since those switch actual devices in and out.
