just wondering if its possible to scroll through scenes vertically in ableton using the zero 4 or zero 8? the A&H xone 3d jog wheels apparently do that. i dont want to have to use a mouse to select a clip, then use the midi controls to trigger them. any answers would be helpful as this will be one of the main reasons for buying it. thanks

You can just map one endless knob for make that, very easy.

Yes. Just as Grobe says, you map a rotary encoder knob to Ableton.

When you enter MIDI map mode on Ableton, look at the bottom of the scenes column. You will see up and down arrows, and a box with a number next to that. Simply click that box and turn a rotary encoder knob. That's it.

great. thanks guys. also curious as you both have a zero 8, what else are you using with it? was thinking of getting a padkontrol for a few extra buttons and knobs. does it work well with other midi equipment?

I am not using anything else at the moment. But I would like to have more buttons for launching clips. I don't think I want to have 2 controllers, though.

Because Korg does not have Vista 64-bit drivers at the moment for the Zero mixers, I have my Zero 4 running through the padKontrol's Midi port. It works extremely well. I also have a XioSynth and all 3 get along just fine. Two on USB obviously and the Zero on MIDI. But if you're looking for more buttons and knobs, I just read a review in Future Music about the Livid Instruments Ohm Controller, and I gotta say.. I'm impressed. But for a MIDI controller, it's not cheap.
