This means that adding a new Rack at any point in a device chain is no different than adding any other device, and Racks can contain any number of other Racks. The entire contents of any Rack can be thought of as a single device. The output of each of the parallel chains is mixed together, producing the Rack’s output.ĭrum Racks also allow multiple parallel chains to be used simultaneously, but their chains process input somewhat differently: Rather than receiving the same input signals, each Drum Rack chain receives input from only a single assigned MIDI note. When a track has multiple chains, they operate in parallel: In Instrument and Effect Racks, each chain receives the same input signal at the same time, but then processes its signal serially through its own devices. Racks allow (among other things) additional device chains to be added to any track. By default, the Device View displays only a single chain, but there is actually no limit to the number of chains contained within a track. In any of Live’s tracks, devices are connected serially in a device chain, passing their signals from one device to the next, left to right. 20.1 An Overview of RacksĢ0.1.1 Signal Flow and Parallel Device Chains Note that these Live Sets, once saved, can no longer be opened in older versions of Live. The device groups of any Live Sets imported from Live 5 are automatically converted to Racks. Racks greatly expand upon the concept of device groups introduced in Live 5. While Racks excel at handling multiple devices, they can extend the abilities of even a single device by defining new control relationships between its parameters. Yet they also streamline your device chain by bringing together your most essential controls. Racks can be used to build complex signal processors, dynamic performance instruments, stacked synthesizers and more. A Rack is a flexible tool for working with effects, plug-ins and instruments in a track’s device chain.
