486 MIDI and Key Remote Control

The Relative Session Mapping Strip.

1. Assign these buttons to keys, notes or controllers to move the highlighted scene up and

down.

2. Assign this scene number value box to a MIDI controller — preferably an endless en-

coder — to scroll through the scenes. For details, see the previous section on Relative Map

Modes (page 484).

3. Assign this button to launch the highlighted scene. If the Record/Warp/Launch Prefer-

ences’ Select Next Scene on Launch option is checked, you can move successively (and

hopefully successfully!) through the scenes.

4. Assign these buttons to launch the clip at the highlighted scene, in the respective track.

Relative Session mapping is useful for navigating a large Live Set, as Live always keeps the high-

lighted scene at the Session View’s center.

Mapping to Clip View Controls

The Clip View (page 97) displays the settings for whichever clip happens to be currently

selected, but it will also display the settings of multi-selected clips. To avoid unpleasant musical

surprises, it is important to remember that creating remote control mappings for any control in

the Clip View interface could potentially affect any clip in the Live Set. For this reason, we rec-

ommend mapping Clip View controls to relative MIDI controllers to prevent undesirable jumps in

parameter values.
