exception to user prefs?

Hi,

I'm wondering if theres a way to make an exception to a user pref. I want to use the pref exclusive_arm_on_select= on, so that in Live whatever track i select is armed and all others disarmed, but i want one track to be always recording while the others are switching around like that. Can i make an exception to the pref for that always on track?
like this:
Exclusive_arm_on_select = true (except track 5)

thanks,
Kurt

Hi Kurt

You can't edit user preferences in MT for Live. You'd need to edit it in the Python script. But you can create translators so that every time you select a track it arms it, which should also disarm all other tracks (though I haven't used 9 yet if this changed). If that has changed, then you would need to have Live disarm all other tracks manually using MIDI signals (you can do this with timers or Presets) but it is time consuming.

Let me know if you want a walkthrough.

Aha, actually i am using a ClyphX user preference that arms on select, not a Bome pref...whoops wrong forum to ask my question!

thanks,
Kurt
