[Tips] APC40 - Select empty clip + delete clip l[Max needed]
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 12:59 pm
1/ select an empty clip.
My needs was to find a way to record something in live, without my hands, anywhere on the session view. No need to remove stop buttons. No need to launch the entire scene. And if you haven't noticed yet, you can't select an empty clip in live without launching the record (if record button set). What i need is to select an empty clip first, then clic record button, and then launching the record on the next bar with a footswitch. The solution is Isotonik Lite. You can select any clip with Clip/Track button (like shift) without triggering it.
2/ delete highlighted clip
I made a tiny device to create and delete clip. It is like Bome's but within Ableton. You need the java class here. Put it into Max\java-doc\mxj~ examples\classes\
Just midi map the two buttons to "Shift + up arrow" and "shift + down arrow" of your APC40 (as example).
