Ableton/Live/UG/25 Racks/04 Chain List
- The Chain List is where incoming signals branch: each parallel chain is one entry. Drop presets, devices or whole chains into the area below to add chains. Racks, chains and devices drag freely between Racks and tracks; hovering over another track while dragging opens its Device View.
- The selected chain is what the Devices view shows; arrow keys flip through chains. Several chains can be selected for copying and regrouping.
- Each chain has an Activator, Solo and Hot-Swap. Instrument, Drum and Audio Effect Rack chains add volume and pan; Drum Rack chains add sends and MIDI note settings.
- Chains save as presets in the browser, and can be renamed, given info text, or coloured from the context menu.
- With Auto Select on, chains are selected as they process signal: in a Drum Rack, when their note arrives; in other Racks, according to their zones. Useful for troubleshooting.
