On the touch pad, perform a two-finger scrolling gesture from right to left. This drags the sheet to the left, bringing a part of the sheet from further right into view. On the touch pad, perform a two-finger scrolling gesture from left to right. Now do the same test with two-finger scrolling in the horizontal axis, which doesn't work as expected: So in the vertical axis, two-finger scrolling works as expected. This drags the sheet down, bringing a part of the sheet from further up into view. On the touch pad, perform a two-finger scrolling gesture in a downwards direction. This drags the sheet up, bringing a part of the sheet from further down into view. On the touch pad, perform a two-finger scrolling gesture in an upwards direction.
I just couldn't live with this one.First let's demonstrate two-finger scrolling in the vertical axis, which works as expected: Yes, I am one of those people who will sacrifice days of productivity in the name of perfect of creative flow. In the new profile, click into the Tilt Wheel Left dropdown box.ĭo the same for Tilt Wheel Right, but this time type in Select "Ableton Live 8.exe" in the program choices. Enable Horizontal Scroll, disable Vertical Scroll, and check "Start with Windows." Leave the radio button on "Compatible." Perhaps you can experiment later, but this is the only setting that worked for me.ĭownload X-Mouse Button Control and start it up. Right click the tray icon and go to Settings. This version has horizontal scroll capabilities. Leave Vertical Scrolling enabled.ĭownload the latest version of Two Finger Scroll (the Mac Hater mod, v1.09). In Synaptics settings, disable Two Finger Horizontal Scrolling. If anyone has any suggestions I (and likely many others) would be grateful. The Live API must receive scroll messages directly from Windows, bypassing even the Synaptics program-and since horizontal scroll isn't native to Windows, Live gets nothing. I know X-Mouse is successfully sending messages to Live-as an experiment, I successfully reversed the right and left mouse buttons.
I have tried this with Ableton, and I can't get it to work. I may try to take this up with Microsoft.Ī ray of hope appeared in the form of a post by Rom37 in the Pro Tools forums:īasically he uses the free application X Mouse to send a Ctrl+Wheel Up/down message (it's actually ctrl+shift+wheel in PT) when a horizontal scroll message is sent. Pretty weak that horizontal scrolling is not native to Windows. "Additional software" likely refers to the Synaptics touchpad software. Since this is not a default feature of Windows 7, and i suppose you use some additional software for your touchpad to do this, it is not supported by Live 8 at this point.Īs soon as Windows will have native support for horizontal scrolling you can also expect to use this in Live. OK, for anyone still interested in this one, here are 2 updates:
