MIDI and Key Remote Control
To liberate the musician from the mouse, most of Live's controls can be
remote-controlled
with an external MIDI controller and the computer keyboard. This chapter describes the
details of mapping to the following speci c types of controls in Live's user interface:
1.
Session View slots
Note that MIDI and computer key assignments are bound
to the slots, not to the clips they contain.
2.
Switches and buttons
among them the Track and Device Activator switches,
the Control Bar's tap tempo, metronome and transport controls.
3.
Radio buttons
A radio button selects from among a number of options. One
instance of a radio button is the
crossfader assignment section
in each track,
which offers three options: The track is assigned to the crossfader's A position,
the track is unaffected by the crossfader, or the track is affected by the crossfader's
B position.
4.
Continuous controls
like the mixer's volume, pan and sends.
5.
The crossfader
, the behavior of which is described in detail in the
respective
section
of the Mixing chapter.
