Could you just add a note to each clip, the note that triggers the randomisation?

Now the question is how to UNmute all the muted clips (tracks) by the end of the fill clip, hopefully without a use of virtual cables (they unreliable in Windows).


The same way you muted them?!!!

If you muted lots of channels individually to play the fill and therefore have lots of individual ...

Sorry, just to reiterate, if solo worked apart the inability to automate it, then using mutes set up correctly will give the same effect without having to set up other devices (as I also thought was necessary to begin with)

You are basically muting the playing tracks and unmuting the fill track ...

Possibly I’ve misunderstood but my thinking was that if using solo was perfect apart being unable to automate it, then setting up mutes to have the same effect should work. ???

Thank you so much for your reply!
I thought you are referring to the little MFL plugin as an "app", I just wanted to make wure we are talking about the same thing.
Anyway, what that plugin does is this: I have a foot keyboard and press a button on it to start or stop a clip. The controlled clips ...

I'm still not 100% sure of what you need but you might not even have to group the tracks. It just might be easier than mapping every mute button individually.

Thank you for your reply.
What exactly utilities do we have in mind?


So sorry, I’m probably not helping much!

Anyway, forget everything I’ve said so far!!!

First, you must group all the tracks you have playing so they can all be controlled by that one mute button. By muting the group, their ...

I tried using capture for the first time.

I set Ableton to a four bar loop.

I played the loop for a while, just improvising, and when I was done, I clicked "Capture."

There's a midi clip on that track now, and when I select the clip, I can clearly see the full-length improvisation.

But ...

Sorry, I slightly misunderstood your op.

Forget the gates.

No need to stop the playing clips.

Have a utility to turn down the playing clips, and set the same button to toggle the fill clip on and off.
You could set another utility to work in opposition for the fill track if necessary.

The ...

I wonder if you could trigger a couple of gates- one to open to let fill through and one to shut off everything else?

Do you need to change track?
Can you not just stay in that track and trigger new clips with the different patterns?

Hi, this probably isn't quite what you're after but there may be something useful that could help you. Sorry if not.

Have you thought about trying Live Suite?


Yeah. Two things stopped me so far: the price and the lack of a visual instrument interface. I find myself scrolling through lists and lists of presets in the browser, whereas having a visual representation of an instrument helps me find my way to ...
