Track selection/looper
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to select a track with a button, THEN use the same button to engage a device parameter, but only after the track is selected.
I have a Nektar Pacer set up so the bottom 6 foot switches can select tracks and the same switches are mapped to the looper multi button. At the moment, recording begins on selection. I would like to be able to select the track and only engage the looper following the track selection.
Sorry for repeating myself. I’m new to Remotify, so still getting my head around it all!
Cheers.
Hello again,
I did get it working but there are some flaws..
First Ableton has to be in Play mode.
And then also: the multi-button doesn’t work the same way via Midi Remote Scripting as it does in Ableton using mouse clicks..
The looper has 4 states, which means you would need 4 buttons to be able to use all of them.
The numbers for the states are:
0 = Stop
1 = Record
2 = Play
3 = Overdub
By using the adjacent numbers you can use 2 states in one button. So you can have “Stop/Record” on 1 button or “Record/Play” or “Play/Overdub”
In short, it is not perfect, alternatively you could also use a dummy clip and have the envelope of the looper state in it but that creates similar and other problems.
Anyway, in the screenshot hereunder you can see the settings for controlling looper’s Record and Play in one button.

I really hope this already helps to some extent.
To be continued..
