[Question and/or Feature Request] Let clips play out before stopping or changing

Post by dekaem » Mon Jul 21, 2025 8:38 am

Is there a way to let running clips play out completely before changing or stopping them?

In my projects I often use differents clip lengths to harmonically shift them against each other (i.e. synth pad with 8, bass with 6 and lead with 7 bars). In these cases launching whole scenes is more or less unusable, because the the newly selected clips start with the beginning of the new bar and not when der running clip is finished — and due to the different clip lengths there ist no global transport for orientation.
Ableton Note has the advantage, that I can see where a running clip is at and therfore I can time the clip launch accordingly, but I am flying blind on Move.
Maybe there is already a mechanic in place to do that and I missed it in the manual.

If not: Maybe there is a possibility to double tap a running clip to initiate the clip to stop after the current run, wich would also solve the problem of stopping playback on a single track, when it ist already filled with 8 clips and therefore not empty clips to stop the track.
And maybe a double tap o the running clip and a tap on the clip to follow fot letting the current one play through and then start the other one.

Ah damn, I was hoping that I was just looking in the wrong places.
Thanks for the reply!
