I need control!

I have a question regarding using Ableton Live, hopefully someone knows the answer to this.

I have been using Ableton Live 3 for quite a while (only for live gigs, not for recording or production) and so far it's been great. Recently however, I have been trying to play bass along to the live set and I'm having a few control difficulties.

I use about 40-50 loops in sequence and go through them using the down curser key and the enter button to play them (I can't use key shortcuts to do this because I simply run out of keys). However, in order to do this while playing bass I need to be able to scroll through the samples (using equivalent midi controls to the down curser key and enter key) by using a midi footswitch, however i'm not sure if this can be done.

Is there any way of using midi control to go up and down on the ableton screen as well as the play/enter function?? I can't seem to find this midi facility. Any help would be appreciated.

probably not in live 3 (get a serial number off cottle for fucks sake and get 5)

even then you may have to make summit in plogue

Cheers felo,

I've got a mate who uses Live 5 he couldn't find the answer either, maybe it's just not implimented.

Bingo, just found the answer,

It's not perfect as it covers the whole master section , but , there are up and down midi buttons for the master track, just above the Master fader in the MIDI implementation mode.

cool farts.
