Contoller mapping Prob: Select multiple clips and activate them @ the same time.

Hello,

im working on my midi controller mappings again.
Using a Maschine MKI & a Maschine Jam.

I would like to implement sth i have to do with my mouse right now:

Select multiple clips in different Layers and fire them all up @ once.
(Without the need of triggering a whole column).

Right now i do that using my mouse. Holding Crtl and click the preview area (bottom) of the wanted clips in the different layers, followed by pressing enter.

I do not find a way to implement that kind of worklflow into a midi mapping.
I tried mapping the previews to light touching the maschine pads and used Bomes Midi Translator Pro to translate a midi command into a CRTL and ENTER command...its not working.... Im not able to select more than one clip.
Seems the mouse click is another event wich cant be emulated in the way i need it.

Any ideas on this?

THX

Jan

I don't think this is currently possible just using the interface.

Enter is like a few other keyboard shortcuts, such as the arrow and escape keys, that have a function assigned that cannot be assigned otherwise. This is something we're working on.

if you'd be using beat synced triggering, you could activate multiple clips which would then launch at the same time.
I guess you don't always launch the same clips together, else you could assign the same midi note or keyboard key to multiple clips at once.

Youre right. I know i could do it that way. But there is a kind of pressure ill feel & i like to relax :)

Correct.

Thx for your ideas.
