Start backtracks parts with ex 1,2,3,4,5 keys

Hi,

Our band is runnning tracks from an iPad but I would like to know if AL could do what I want.

Is it possible to make different parts of a song, and then trig each part with ex 1,2,3,4,5 keyboardbuttons or always the same 8 pads on my synth?

So when I start next song, 1,2,3,4,5 would be assigned to that songs different parts. Example 1=verse 1, 2=chorus 1, 3=bridge, 4=chorus 2 with a key change

So I can jump through all songs different parts, with always the same 8 pads.

Yes that is possible, both with key commands and midi.
See the Live manual chapter 29:
