Is there a way to assign hotkeys to parameters?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Audiomulch, and am trying to figure out how one would actually go about doing an audiomulch performance.

I get mute automation, but while manually muting (aka effing around) I find the hand eye coordination required to manually turn mutes on and off more stressful than an FPS shooter. You miss one head shot and it's game over.

Ableton has a way where you can quickly assign hotkeys to almost any "knob" on the interface. Does audiomulch have anything like that? i.e. make 8 loopPlayers, and set up mute hotkeys for 1-8?

Thanks in advance,
cheers~

If this question is eye-rollingly n00bish, could someone please point me kindly in the direction of the PROPER set of keywords to search the help doc with? I feel like I've tried every possible combination already, to no avail.

thanks again!

As far as I know, AM doesn't implement this. You can however download a little vst utility called trollo which will interpret computer keys and turn them into notes, You can then use these notes to trigger functions using the midi learn cpabilities of AM.

nester999 has just come up with the best feature request for AM ive read in a long while.( Second to insert Mulch as VST and ReWire mode) > yes, im gonna keep flogging these until it happens > :)

You're not going to make many friends wasting bandwidth continuously reiterating your desire for a feature which is already on the roadmap. Certainly it is having the effect of making me feel much less like implementing it. I'd prefer to be reading about other ideas.

Patience :-)

Chill out, Ross.
If you were to not implement it because I keep bringing it up would only be doing you/AM and this very small fan club alot of damge.
Other ideas?>>>>how about getting some other developers onboard to help speed this thing along?
How are those t-shirts coming? or should I check the road map?

see, we can all be assholes on the net.

Have a nice day.
Respect :)

Though I don't quite have the programming savvy yet, I'd love to be a developer for AM someday.

While we're brainstorming, I'm making mashups with AM, and there are many samples I have where there is an intro I want to play once, then a loop after it that I'd like to have play over and over.

If there was a "live" soundwave bar in the loopPlayer, would it be possible to click on the beat where you wanted it to start looping from, or should I just cut it to loop in Audition/Audacity ahead of time?

Again, this is an Ableton feature also, but it'd be cool to have these features all in one place.

Now I'm being ridiculous, but what about Serato style scratchers for each loopPlayer. Eh, eh?!!

yes, very much the 'Live' way of things. Its such an awesomely fast and simple way to use what you want, when you want.

Having to go outside AM and save wavs to import back into AM before you even know how it will work or sound with other material is a real creation killer. So much so that this is the last thing I use AM for. Everything needs to happen native and in realtime. Also to have the option to automatically tempo adjust and timestretch to project is essential.

Its a feature like this that would totally transform AM in a way that no new contraption could.

Essentially it would become a modular version of the 'Live' session view and would slay people everywhere. INSANE!!!!

(Of course, I have no idea of how viable or difficult it is to code and implement such features. Im just throwing it out there for Ross and the community to chew on. its a FR forum after all)

I should also take this opportunity to apologise to Ross for my rude reply, above. Sorry about that mate, the written word in interwebz land can sometimes be taken the wrong way and I originally never meant to be rubbing you up the wrong way with my whole VST/ReWire trip. You really did take it in the worst possible spirit. My reply to you after was out of line, but a fair concern none the less. I guess when we as users of your product get so attached that we want want want new things to make it even better it can become a headfuck for the creator. cool, i understand. So please accept this as an apology for something which shouldnt even have gone there in the first place, so as there is no bad blood into the future. Peace
