![]() A “MAP” button now shows up and when activated you can map parameters to the macros. For this you need to open the MACRO CONROL VIEW. You can MACRO-MAP every parameter of RACKed Instruments/Drum Racks to the macros control knobs. But to make this more user-friendly (and for some later on here explained CPU friendly usage) we will use some MACRO-CONTROL set up here. Set-up automations via MIDI Dummy clips here already. You can MIDI map the chain selector to some external MIDI controller via that as well. You are now already able to select the different Drum Racks via the chain selector by mouse. Making the selection more access-able and user-friendly via the CHAIN SELECTOR Only the chains which are set to the number which will match with the chain selector selection will receive the MIDI coming in. We are now already able to select the different chains (=Drum Racks) via the CHAIN SELECTOR, the orange line aboove all chains. To do this we need to open the CHAIN SELECTOR EDITOR and to edit each chain to a value. We can do this by the CHAIN SELECTOR parameter in Ableton Live and by applying each CHAIN to a certain range. We now need to set up that the chains can be selected one after another. Up to this point all CHAINS = all Drum Racks will now receive the incoming MIDI and will trigger the sounds and samples. Selecting the Drum Rack and setting up CHAIN SELECTIONS Then you can drag and drop more Drum Racks in the empty area under the other already existing chains. For this you need to open the “Chain View” on the far left of the Instrument Rack. Once you have an Instrument Rack you can now add more Drum Racks (or other Instruments) into new chains. Just right-click on the top bar of the Drum Rack and select “GROUP” (or use the short-cut CMND+G) you can GROUP an existing Drum Rack sitting on a MIDI track: just select + ‘drag and drop’ an empty Instrument Rack from Ableton Lives device browser. There are two ways to create an Instrument Rack: Those RACKS will be “MIDI Effect Racks”, “Audio Effect Racks” or “Instrument Racks”.įor the example of changing drum samples nested in Drum Racks we will need to create an Instrument Rack. Depending on what kind of devices (instruments, MIDI or audio) you want to stack here. You can have a big number of chains and they can include not only one device but a whole collection of multiple devices. CHAIN SELECTOR + RACKS in Ableton LiveĪs just written the “chain-concept” is applicable for all Ableton Lives devices and even for VSTs and other plug-ins. This concept in Ableton Live is called “CHAINS” + “CHAIN SELECTOR”. Ableton Live has a great concept for having multiple presets for Instruments, Audio Effects and MIDI Effects on one (MIDI) track. “How can I change my (drum) samples and sounds which I trigger in a Drum Rack when switching to a different song in Ableton Live? “Īs I’m getting this question on a quite reguar basis, I decided to write this blog post/manual. ![]()
