Automatic change sounds in scenes

Post by vvwouter » Fri Dec 08, 2017 3:08 pm

Hi guys,

New to Ableton, coming from Cubase. I'm setting up a live set where the arrangement is in the session view, triggering scenes for every part of a song. So, a lot of audio clips are running, but I would also like to play live guitar and keys. Is there a way of automatically having sounds change across the different scenes as they are triggered? So that a specific scene always has a guitar amp, vibrato and delay; and a rhodes sound for example. And another scene has a metal guitar sound and strings for the keys?

Cheers!

Since your playing the guitar and keys live during the session, can't you just arm those two tracks as external instruments? And put whatever effects you need on those tracks? You'll start playing whenever you reach the appropriate scene, so that will be in your direct control.

Unless I'm not understanding what you're trying to do?
