Navigation/Transport Mode

In this mode, the knobs are used for navigation and the note keys for transport actions and more.

Turn on the A.Delay switch (down position) to enable the Navigation/Transport Mode.

Note: This mode overrides any other active mode. This means that while this mode is enabled the other toggle controls (tremolo/chorus) used to enable the other modes have no effect.

Controls

The following controls apply in this mode:

Control	Description
Wave Type	Set MIDI Transmit channel.
Drive	Track navigation. Move the knob to change the track selection including sends and the master track.
Tremolo Depth	Clip navigation. Move the knob to change the clip selection in the current track.
Tremolo Rate	Device navigation. Move the knob to change the device selection in the current track.

Note: Since the knobs in the Reface CP are not endless and send fixed MIDI CC values, the track/clip/device navigation will only allow selecting up to 127 elements. For instance, if you have more than 127 tracks in your Live Set then some of the intermediate tracks won’t be accessible using this knob. But usually this doesn’t happen unless you’re Jacob Collier… ;) In any case, the track can still be selected manually or using some of the actions from the list below and the knobs can be used to get closer to them faster.

Note-key Actions

In this mode, each note key has a special function and can be recalled from any octave in the keyboard for easiness of use. In most cases, a secondary note can also be pressed to perform subactions.

When pressing down the first key, a hint message is displayed in Live’s bottom status bar. If the first note key is pressed and held for more than 3 seconds without pressing any other key the ongoing action is automatically cancelled to prevent triggering unwanted actions. This timeout corresponds approximately to the duration that Live displays messages from the script in the status bar.

Here are all the actions that can be triggered from the MIDI keyboard:

*Note: Unless specified, all secondary action notes from the list correspond to the note within the same octave as the main action note. Higher or lower octaves are represented with a ⁺ⁿ or ^-n text next to it.
