How do you automate record enable for synths in real time?

[New Year Sun Bear]

Hey everyone!

I am new to the forum and Ableton Live in general.

I wrote some songs that I want to perform live. I was wondering if there is a way to program my session so it automatically switches to different synths at various intervals throughout the song, so my keyboard automatically switches synths when I need it to.

I just want to play different synth lines or chords while the song is playing and not have to worry about switching through the patches manually. Can I make grid markers or something?

Thank you so much for your help! If you want to get an idea of what type of music it is, you can check out http://newyearsunbear.com/ and download or listen to all the tracks for free.

Send program change information with a clip?

I'm interested in how to do the same thing. I tried sending Program Changes via clips, but must've been doing something wrong. I need to learn more about MIDI. Can someone describe in detail how they did it? Pleeeease. : )

I'm also confused on how to do this. Can anyone save us?

I think the thread title needs editing. We're really wanting to know about sending Program Changes for live playing, not for recording.
