Description

Vertical Zoom lets you use keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse to vertically zoom a track in the Arrange view. Put it on your master channel, set keyboard shortcuts using the "Edit Key Map" functionality, and save it as your default Live preset.

This is of limited value for Live 10 where vertically zooming a track is easier, but on popular demand I've uploaded it here. I have no plans to update it.

This device was originally posted as part of a series of blog posts about programming in Max for Live at Noisemaker Academy, which has since deprecated. http://www.noisemaker.academy/vertical-zooming-in-live-using-keyboard-shortcuts/

    But you can do so also with the "+" and "-" keys. What is it about with the Sens.-Sliders as well as the difference between contract and collapse and contract and collapse for all?

    RobertSchulz: Not sure if you read the description or tried it, but in Live 10 where there are now shortcuts for vertically zooming in a track, it's not very useful. In 9, it makes things a little easier.

    I was looking for this so long.
    Now I can zoom all tracks together vertically. Thank you.
    I just want to ask one question. Is there a way to make the buttons work when not only pressing but also holding?

    And also excluding return track would be better.
