With the hydra device in the new beta release, it’s possible to assign multiple parameters to a single controlller, which is one cool thing that was needed, but I do still agree that transport comtrol would be very handy. It’s now possible if you rewire ableton and assign transport functions to MIDI in there though.

I kinda wish my pitch wheel would be auto translated to the pitch shift effects…
(edit: for sample based instruments, of course)
