you can leave out the next object 'filter out Prog ch's' that's something only my setup needs. So at the very top in your MidI input device. then turn off turn Midi Map Mode, and go back to Bidule. Now map cc 111, channel 1, to the Monitor select for track 1 cc 111, channel 2, to the Monitor select for track 2 etc, all the way up to cc 111, channel 6, to the Monitor select for track 6. Now delete your previous mappings for arming tracks - remember, you're going to leave them permanently armed from now on. I've spread out the objects in the left hand column so you can see the cabling easier.įirst, go over into Live and turn on Midi Map Mode. Take a minute, if you're interested, to check out the following spaghetti maze: The technique described below is possible because 'monitor track' status can be changed between it's 3 states, off, auto and on, using a single cc with a low, medium and high value respectively. This is very close to the same thing as 'arm exclusive' with the exception that strictly speaking the other 5 tracks are not 'safe', but since each individual slot has its own Midi Remote trigger, this is not an issue for me. If I want to record a loop on track 1, say, the cc that would have armed the track is now sent through Bidule, and sets the monitor status of track 1 to 'auto' and the monitor status of the other 5 tracks to 'off'. What I'm doing now is leaving all 6 track permanently armed. Unfortunately, with the bug, i've had to remember to disarm each track before moving on to arm another one, which is a pain. In my setup, I have six tracks which i use for creating loops with my guitar live, and i have been using midi cc #'s 111 thru 116 (on channel 1) sent from my fcb 1010 foot controller to arm the tracks. I've only been messing around with Bidule for a day or so, so if anyone has any ways of making the routing more efficient, feel free to chime in. this workaround involves using Plogue Bidule. Even with Arm Exclusive Enabled, Live still allows multiple tracks to be armed via MIDI.

This is a workaround for the Live 4 bug whereby 'arm exclusive' does not work when using MIDI Remote.
