trig finger:cntrl same audio track even w midi ch change?

Post by friendselectric » Mon Jul 17, 2006 7:33 pm

one last question before our first live show:

we want to use the 4 faders on a trigger finger to control vol and fx sends on 2 audio tracks in Live. But we want to change midi channel so the pads play different one shots for each song in our set. can we set Live to respond to these same 4 faders regardless of midi channel change? or is it better to set up 16 presets in the trigger finger and leave the midi channel alone? the problem we have with this is we probably wont have enough midi notes on pads to trigger all the one shots in our set if we only have one channels worth of midi notes.

any ideas?

thanks..bill

Simply set the faders to transmit the same information on all the different presets you are using.

thanks. only problem is we are then limited to having only the 127 midi notes from the pads so we can only trigger 127 one shots in our set without changing channel... we have a set of about 16 songs and ideally we would like 16 one shot fx from trigger finger in each song...

know of a way round this?
