Autoplay Arrangement View after opening

Post by dreimanneins1 » Wed May 04, 2022 6:29 pm

I wanna have Ableton live playing a file in Arrangement View after opening Ableton Live Software.
- so that there is no click or action necessary to start the sound.
So I'm looking for an autoplay function that play files in Arrangement View after starting the program.
Could somebody help? I unfortunately didn't find it online. Thanks a lot!

Hi @dreimanneins1,

Do you have Max for Live ?

If so,

Here is a simple M4L device that do the job. It will start playback (and stop it if it is already playing) after 1s when you load the device and - this is what you are looking for - when you open your Ableton Live Set.

Let me know if that works for you,

Thank you! I was looking all over for something like this last week and couldn't find anything. I'm glad I searched again this week!

Is it possible to do this without M4L ?
