Using Chain Selector with Instrument Racks

[@williamday1157]

Thanks! I've been wondering how to use instrument rack effectively and this was very useful 🙂

[@edeltobi]

question: I have a synth instrument rack with chain selector + device on/off (to save CPU). It all works fine, but when I switch to a different chain, the playing device does not get "clicked" i.e. i have no access to the specific device's macro controls unless i click on the active chain in ableton (with my mouse...). That's obviously not going to work in a live set with push.. is there any way of making ableton and/or the push aware of which instrument should be in focus based on the chain selector position?

I found out how to do this when I needed a better way to organise my sounds (since you can’t make folders within the collections). Now making racks is a full time job. You should try racking up audio effects as well, it’s dope.

OMG, that was exactly what I was looking for at this exact time. Thank you!

Excellent video Christina! Let's say you've got a single VST like Serum or Omnisphere on a rack, but you want to select different presets for that VST using the Chain Selector, how would you do that?

ahhh it all makes sense now! thanks

That's great. Thank you 🙂

Yeah, but it doesn't turn off instruments

Great video :)

thanks . I don"t understand the vel stuff just near the chain selector . I think it means velocity , I know but I simply don"t get the point of it because the chain selector can do the same job and better so yeah , still a mystery

[@marcobiraghi]

That’s for multi-sampled instruments, so you can have different samples being played at different velocities, mimicking the actual behavior of an instrument being played at different intensities.

Excellent. Thank you

[@hearthat1334]

I finally understand , I had a aha moment . It actually trigger an instrument depending the velocity . I am genius . Bye
