Select multiple tracks
I have a very simple setup that lets me change the selected track in live. I just can't seem to figure out how I can do the same thing for multiple tracks. Is this even possible?
If I could get to the point where I can select all of the tracks, I would be very happy. I've tried using a trigger and a list but this just quickly iterates through the list of id's instead of selecting them all toghether. I'm fairly new to max, any help would be greatly appreciated!
I would also like to know if there's a hack to select multiple tracks.
I just tried to see if using 11strokes to hold down the command/ctrl key while setting the selected track behaves as if it would if you were using a mouse. It doesn't.
Ideally I'd like to be able to select only individual tracks, or only groups, or whatever criteria
Bumping this topic, is this possible?
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but a previous version of my Armer Max for Live device was capable of arming multiple tracks simultaneously. It can be a little buggy when deselecting multiple tracks, and it can have performance issues when there are many tracks in your set, so I ultimately abandoned this approach - but maybe you will find it useful!
You can open the patch to see how it works - basically, any time you select a track, the code iterates over all the tracks in your set, checks "is_part_of_selection," and if it is true, arms the track.
I appreciate your answer, and I am already using this approach in some of my own devices.
It's really just the actual selecting of multiple tracks, that I am trying to figure out. Haven't really looked into it since my inital post tho. Still would be great to get a solution for this :)
Oh, I understand! I played around with the API, but it doesn't seem like it is possible to select multiple tracks simultaneously
