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
