Clip versus Scene tempo

Post by spride » Mon Mar 22, 2021 6:48 pm

I am using an Arturia KeyLab mkII in DAW mode (Live) with Ableton Live Suite 11. My Set has many tempo changes configured at the Scene level. As far as I can determine, the KeyLab can only launch Clips, not Scenes.

Am I right in thinking that if I launch a Clip from a controller pad without launching the Scene, it defaults to global tempo? That's what I am experiencing currently. It seems that if I have set a separate tempo for a Scene, the only way that clip will play at the specified tempo is launching it via the Scene.

If that's true, what is my lowest-cost option for launching Scenes without clicking the mouse on the Scene launch button on screen?

Actually I think the Novation Launchpad X is my answer.
