I know I can click the name of the clip to preview this.

When I map my APC40 I bring the clips to the button matrix for triggering.
But I also want to be able to preview with the matrix.
So I need this shift button.

At the moment I use the controller to run a show and my mouse for previewing.

But how do you do that? I think that most controllers can't. I'm using the recommended AKAI APC40 Mk2 and I think there isn't even any software at all, if I haven't missed anything.

I also own Behringer X-Touch Compact for my lightning setup – it's software can remap buttons but there is no switch/shift feature. And the last one I have is Korg nanoKONTROL Studio for sound control, which does have editor software, but can only define scenes and it's pain to switch between them – definitely not usable for shift. I don't know anything about other controllers...

What controller do you use, which's software can do more advanced features like this? I think Resolume should handle the shift/condition check. And I think that most other pieces of software (like music DAWs) handle things like shift, banks and encoder modes themselves too, so controller manufacturers don't bother implementing those...
