RACK MACROS - SWiTCH POSITION

Post by Chicle777 » Tue Jan 08, 2008 3:19 pm

It should be easy to switch macro positions in a rack just by dragging and droping.

Thanks,
Chicle

Excellent idea!

And while you're at it ableton, how about giving us tabs of extra macros. For example, four tabs, each with eight macros. Would be perfect for making custom effects combining others. 8 just isn't enough.

That limitation makes no sense. If you only want to use ones that are visible, then you could still just use the first eight on the first tab. You're no worse for having extra macros. :?

Make the racks with options of 4, 8, 12, 16.. depending of how many you want. The tabs option isn´t good for live use + you don´t want to click through tabs to see your knob settings. Their should be all upfront or nothing.

Would be great to be able to group them in one rack to separate instrument controllers/knobs from fx knobs or what have you.

I would like it to work like this:

First press the red thingy:

Then press the red thingy again to go back to 8 knobs or press red thingy(tm) number 2 to expand to 24:

Red thingies are of course midi and key mapable.

And this drag and drop option should be implemented in Impulse aswell to switch sound positions. Drum Racks has it.

There should be an Instrument Rack with an assignable XY Pad
to complement the existing knob version.

I hope that they will make additional options to control things in racks...
