Launch a scene in Session view without launching Play in Arrangement view

Post by jokair8 » Tue Sep 12, 2023 11:06 am

Hello,

I don't find my answer in the forum, so I post it here.

I created a scene (2 clips of 2 instruments), and a mapped it to a midi controller to trigger it.
I mapped the Play button (of arrangement view) to another button of the midi controller.

The beginning of my song, I need to trigger the scene with my 1st midi button, and when I choose to start the song (prepared in arrangement view), I trigger the 2nd midi button to activate the principle Play button.

The problem : when I launch the scene, it launches too the arrangement view playback.

Do you have a trick to solve my problem ?

Thank you in advance.

Too bad.

I've found a alternative.

1) I add 4 bars at the beginning with empty tracks
2) I add a locator on the 5th bar (the beginning of the song)
3) I add midi mapping on the locator
4) I activate Loop on the first 4 bars
5) I set the parameter of the quantification menu on None

I can launch the scene with during the loop with the first midi button.
I can trigger the beggining of my song with the other midi button

try "stop all clips" to override everything in the arranger

I can't figure out how to start adding new clips and scenes in Session view, and get them to playback without the Arrangement playing. Is the only solution to deactivate all the sections in the Arrangement view?
